MORE WHITE

TUESDAY
Payday so i paid the council tax people £218 they are like Dracula always after the main artery ,  then i paid the tv licence good old BBC £28  which is a utter rip off DONT WATCH BBC ANYMORE  , then i paid my outstanding mobile phone bill of £98 , i put £35 of petrol in to the tank of the car  which always needs its thirst quenching and i spent another £45 on food shopping . BUT THAT'S NOT THE END as i have still  to fork out £425 for rent  , gas and electric is an other £87 ,  car tax £12 and car insurance £67 , finally water rates £28 along with broadband at £24 its never ending cycle of payments bills and expenditure to keep us and the cottage ticking over .

The lady selling the static home rang Helen today whilst i was at work telling us she had an offer from a couple that viewed the home she did not like them and told them it was sold to us so it looks like we will be the new owners of the house Helen is already making plans for the garden and interior.

I am looking forward to living near to Leeds and work should cut my travelling time by half along with the fuel consumption that i am using now.
We will only have ground rent to pay which is £67 pound a month which means a a saving on rent the money i save on fuel for the car should cover the cost of the ground rent.

WEDNESDAY
Went to work  but i left early due to a down fall of snow. It was gradually getting worse has i was getting nearer to home. Some drivers did not help they were driving way too slow and as a result i was stopping at every traffic light , which adds to the journey time .

As it was I had to park the car on the main road in and out of Holmfirth .I nearly didn't make it i was slipping backwards at one stage along a line of parked up cars i was fortunate not to hit one.
I walked the last few hundred yards to our cottage , i reckon if i did not leave work at the time i did getting home would have been worse.
Whether or weather i go to work tomorrow is very unlikely  .Even getting the car of the main road will be no mean feat.
