HAPPY PIGLET

 WEDNESDAY - Took Guy to the jobcentre so his claim could be paid in to my bank account he does not have a live bank account it got close down .Forgot how depressing these places are even more so these days it was a fairly straight forward process within ten minutes I had £400 paid in to my account .I transferred it in to my daughters account so she can get him money out and pay for the things he my need.

It was nice to drive home see the greenery and fields with sheep and lambs reset my head last two days have been mega stressful but so far so good .Hopefully Guy is happy as a piglet in a field with its sibling his life overnight has improved immensely mainly thanks to his sister but others have been involved along the way .

SORTED

 MONDAY - My son Guy is out of Hospital he has been discharged his sister my daughter obviously has him on her drive in a caravan that she bough him for £800 it has all mod cons fridge , cooker , shower microwave and most of all t.v and internet what more could a man want maybe a small dog .

TUESDAY - Took him to a place in Seacroft for help in his addiction they are sorting him out some medication that will be delivered directly to him and only him on a daily basis for the next fortnight , then he will just pick it up from the chemist just around the corner a couple of hundred yards away .

JUNE ALREADY

 FRIDAY - Went to Meadow Hall in Sheffield Helen wanted to shop at Primark it was just after 18.00 when we set off it shuts at 21.00  .On the way back we had to detour as the A616 Sheffield to Manchester was closed from 20.00 .

SATURDAY - Went on a massive four mile walk with the dogs which foe some people is  a stroll for me with two false hips and dodgy knees was tiring .When I got home after a coffee i decided to clean the cooker , using oven pride put the racks in to the plastic  bag with over half the solution I had two packets I used the other half on some more wire racks we use and a baking tray the rest was brushed inside the oven itself five hours later everything was cleaned we have a clean oven once again .

In the afternoon went to Fox Valley bought some breadcakes sliced cheese and burgers for tea also bought some pear cider along with cat food and cat biscuits .

SUNDAY- Was awake at five and out of the house just before six a.m it looks like the first day in June is going to be sunny I am back at work tomorrow but have a weeks annual leave booked for the end of the month as well as a week at the end of July and August three week months will do me .

SECOND VISIT

 TUESDAY - Went to visit my son as he is still in hospital he should be out beginning of next week .Took him some fruit bananas , oranges , apples and pears as well as some mixed grapes , some Doritos and salsa dip and a large bag of Haribo's starmix also a big bar of Galaxy chocolate he also wanted a deodorant roll on .His siter is getting him a new mobile phone which is Zenco ant one of the smallest production mobile phone not sure why I would have gone for a supermarket branded mobile just for better reliability. Hopefully he continues to get better and improves in general he has had time to think lying in a hospital bed would give anyone time to reflect and see life differently its time for him to move forward forget the past and enjoy the future .But he is team leader and its down to him if he is unwilling to change and willing to carry on regardless , then its his choice , he knows the score only too well .

On the way home we stopped of at Marks and Spencer's at Birstall I bought some of the new chicken dishes all in the extra crunchy range a  hot honey puffed ,Korean and a masala three for twelve pounds .They were giving away bunches of flowers Helen was given three bunches , not to be sneezed at specially with my hay fever .I also bought a M&S tomato sauce for a £1:00 its the best cheap sauce ever .
