well my last working day will be on the thirty first of July not that long taking off weekends holiday entitlement i have another 47 days left working for my current full time employer , my job i do on a night from half past four until half past eight will be my only source of income i will be losing around £1500 a month which is going to make life very hard.

Hopefully the first few months will set the scene for what follows , its obvious i am going to do my best to get another job whatever that is , as long as there is a wage attached then i will be oblige to take it hopefully it wont effect the job i do on s night. it might mean that i do a serious of part time jobs that nobody wants due to them signing on job seekers or getting other benefits, me working will mean i cant claim jsa or sign on but what other benefits or payouts i can get i have no idea for the last twenty years i have been in full time employment.

i suppose big changes will have to be made in the food we buy the bills we pay going out clothes we wear everything is touched by money its the royal wedding today they will never have to worry about housing bills shopping luxuries when the next lay offs or redundancies will affect the house and family and i guess that's the position we all want to be in but never will , HOW CHEAP CAN WE LIVE IS THE QUESTION THAT NEEDS ANSWERING MORE THAN ANYTHING.

no work yesterday apart from my night job then off today apart from my night job then off saturday sunday monday and tuesday all day but then working wednesday but off wednesday night working thursday all day and night then off friday , which is the day of the royal wedding but will be working friday night , i am then off mayday the following monday but at this time i am not sure if its all day i have off or if i am working that night ain't life confusing.

Bought Russell Brands book "booky wook" to read whilst i am off ,and just in case the weather decides to change from this glorious sunshine ,the book was from the local charity shop only cost me a bargain £1.50 and its in mint condition.
Also i am planning on watching some films Anthony Hopkins in "The Rite" , "The Last Three Days" staring Russell Crowe and the "Season Of The Witch" with Nicholas Cage.

Hopefully over the next four days will get to Whitby and Robin Hoods bay which will be more opportunities for photographs to be taken need to purchase a 1.5 TB external hard drive for storage and would consider buying a media player for storing and watching films on which will free up some space on pc's laptops and other external drives i own , hopefully i am working the next few months before i get made redundant. A old school pal contacted me who lives in Canada considering it is well over 35 years since we was at school together was a nice surprise , one never knows one place my Dad loved and i have never been to is Canada apparently , we was emigrating there when we was little but it never happened all the paperwork was in place to go but my Father pulled out at the last minute.

dropped my daughter of at the train station early this morning , we was all up at half six , we was taking her to the train station so she could meet her friend and head off to London for a hair show that is fully funded by her boss and his salon the tickets alone to the show are worth hundred pounds , lucky her

Under the threat of redundancy at my full-time college job.been offered just over £11,500 but under £12,000 as a redundancy pay out which as been enhanced wow lucky me .will pay the mortgage for over a year and will stop paying basic rate tax on my second job but that's what I get for twenty years service , others I know are getting 5Ok plus which is more like it never rains but fucking pours.can't sign on cause I work two jobs so no doubt be Penalised to the max and will get no help what so ever.think I will be a caravan and live at the coast and fish all day for my supper least I will be tanned and stress free.What chance as anyone got of getting a job over fifty years of age or forty if it comes to it , this government and country just get better all the time why are we investing in wars and sending six hundred and fifty million to India and bailing other countries out of the shit when we are up to our necks in it fighting for survival.

On lighter note Helen did a craft fair which was quite good and has been busy doing Psychic readings which happened quite a lot over the last few weeks so it's not all doom and gloom also my daughter is staying over Saturday night which I am looking forward to , if she doesn't need to go to meadow hall with her I-phone might get to go to the coast for a days trip take some photos with my new camera.
