VAT AND VETS

I bid on a pack of tarot cards that  Helen wanted and won the cards they are costing nearly £38 with delivery I hope there are worth it some of the same cards are being sold for up to £100 a pack crazy .They are The Mythic Tarot by Juliet Sharman - Burke and Liz Green that is the old version not the new version or so I have been told on  good authority.The new ones are a lot cheaper to buy than the older ones .

Got a in store card for Marks & Sparks we can get a whopping 10% of food and flowers we went again today and bought a pizza and sliced potatoes fries some cream and apple and strudel fruit pies .

George goes back to the vets again tomorrow for visit number three I have to be there for ten past ten and I need to settle the vets fees which will be now around £100 his eye is improving fingers crossed it will be fine.The coast was £112 with vat and he has been prescribed some other eye drops from what w have been using for the last two weeks if these drops are better why then was he not prescribed  these  two weeks ago .

Bentley our kitten is possessed he is utterly mad but very cute and playful after all he is only a infant but he  a handful he is but I love him to bits and  he is do very  adorable and I would not swap him ,  but I differently wouldn't want two , one Bentley is more than enough and he eats for two .

Had a peanut butter flavoured milkshake from The Five Guys franchise which was absolutely amazing. It was way  too early to get a burger and fries but if they taste as good as the milkshake was the I will indulge next time i get the chance and well get the full Monty.

I bought  a flick knife hair comb also off Ebay I remember having one years and years ago I bought whilst on a short break in Scarborough and I lost it or had it pinched out of my bedroom by a friend or should I say borrowed anyway came across them by chance on Ebay so I placed a order should get it in the next few days.

M&S NOT S&M

Yesterday we went to the great British food retailer Marks & Spencer"s which sells the nicest food .

I use to go to the one in Leeds city centre on  Friday afternoon when we finished school with my friend Mark and his mother Pearl they use to have their own fish and chips shop one of the best in Leeds.

His mother use to always shop there they could afford to , we occasionally shop  there mainly  because we cant get everything we need from there .We bought a set dinner for two for £10 this was  including a free 75cl  bottle of wine. We went for Peach Garden Rose at 13% vol . Including in our meal deal we opted for two pieces of steak a fresh salad(Helen's choice) and two deserts millionaires shortbread chocolate and cream the best ever and  all for a tenner  .They do some nice freshly prepared meals three for ten pounds which seem to be great value guess where we are going when i get paid going to get a few for the freezer .They are also doing dome Japanese dishes i would like to try and some great looking pizzas . We will still be going to Asda but we want to get at least some of the food we eat from Marks and Spencer's you cant beat posh food.

I am also ordering a wifi booster box from Sky as our wi-fi seems to be getting worse this is only £20 and if it does the job of extending the signal be a good buy .

SUNDAY 

Went to the Trinity Centre Wakefield got a Next catalogue also saw the new iPhone 7 plus nice and the new high gloss black finish not so nice prefer the matt black if i was to get one that is.

Helen is gone to church i am cooking fried chicken and fries and will finish off the rose wine from yesterday .

CHEESE ON TOP

Watched "Into The Wild "again well it has been a few years since we watched it , still enjoy the music the ending still haunts us but that's something that cant be changed .

Updated my iPhone 5s to the latest iso without any hitches the phone seems fine and does no way resemble a expensive paperweight I have also downloaded Sierra for my mac book but so far have not installed it .

I am really craving pulled pork sandwiches chocolate fudge  cake with pouring cream and vanilla milk shakes with ice-cream , i have had no pear cider for fcuking ages and not had a proper Sunday lunch for weeks it is not good enough I need feeding bad roll on payday .

The kitten Bentley is doing fine he has his moments and jumps on George our ginger tom when he is not noticing him stalking him , to be fair George is rather very tolerant to say  that he is still having antibiotic eye drops administered  in his eyes twice daily but the treatment  is working and his eye is clearer and opening wider for longer periods and is only now slightly red this is going to cost me around £110 in vets fees when I get paid .

Friday tomorrow and i have been off sick nearly two weeks and it has flown by still get next week on sick.

FRIDAY
At last I finally managed to install OS X El Capitan I the updated it again to the latest OS Sierra both Macs are now installed with the latest OS cant see how it is a major upgrade apart from Siri and a few changes to maps and photos it is hardly a years work Apple get your finger out of your arse you still cant cut copy and paste why ?.

Cooked Shepherd pie with peas and carrots with mash and and beef mince plus we had Yorkshire pudding i put cheese on top before throwing it in to the oven Helen disagrees with the cheese I think it should have it on , as  it tastes better in my opinion .

TWO TOO HIP

I self certified off work for last week due to hip issues Friday afternoon I  phoned my Doctors up this mid afternoon and they had plenty appointments left vacant , but was giving a sick note for two weeks thats not being seen by any doctor or medical practitioner and  the only time that I  had to go  to the surgery was to pick the two week sick note up. So unbelievable but who is complaining not I .

I am going to try and do something productive like updating my journal do some calligraphy writing and maybe some sketching like copying simple tattoo ideas or line drawings I also want to finish reading  two e-books and one audible book .

SATURDAY
Drove Helen to York Poppleton to be exact for her psychic workshop a snip at £40 for a five hour course no wonder we are always skint .

It ended up being six hours and there was around forty people there that £1600 that £266 a hour not bad the ladies delivering the session use to work for the Nhs earning £50k a year thats about £26 a hour spot the difference I would settle for the £26 an hour.

Will I was waiting I ate 2/3 packet of chocolate digestive biscuits and a banana milk shake went for a short walk to stretch my legs , listened and nearly finished a audio book Dave Stewart's "Sweet Dreams" and  watched some You Tube and listened to some Bob Marley tunes .

On the way home we got chicken  , fresh noddles and fresh stir fried veg for tea all done in the wok in around fifteen minutes .
I don't know if it was because i was sat in the car too long in one position put the old hip seemed to be aching more than usual , oh well two weeks to rest it .

NEVER SAY NEVER

sTUESDAY
Sheet lighting all over Yorkshire we were  driving back from the hospital after having my x-ray it was bucketing down a very torrential down pour.

THURSDAY
Went to the vets with George our ginger Tom cat his left eye is injured we think through fighting he has damaged it before and it got better on its own.This time it has been closed a bit too long so a trip to the vets was arranged .The vets are letting me pay when i get paid at the end of the month he has a lever and infected cornea I was given some eye drops and take him back next Tuesday.
Left the fridge freezer door open so ended up taking everything out and defrosting the whole unit, lucky we out the bowl inside and a bath towel which contained all the thawed out ice .

FRIDAY.
The rain has come back with a vengeance it is teeming it down with great force and power it did not last long .
Helen wants us to sell the static home and move back to Holmfirth back to the cottage on Upper Bank End Road but she wants to buy it if we can get it at a knock down price I cant see it but I have said it before never say never .
We are opening to get a smart meter fitted in the van so we can get free gas on a Saturday if they can do it that is .

HOT DAYS

Tidy the garden cleaned the gutters out from all the fallen debris , it has been a uneventful weekend .
Looking forward to next weekend already as much has I am already looking forward to pay day again.
Bentley our kitten sits with me all the time he loves cuddling up he is a great little cat and he is growing fast .
Washed the car once again I  have never washed any car so much has I have this little Fiat .

Went over to see Helen's son Kris to see Oakley he is not crawling yet but guessing it won't be long .

MONDAY
Guess i did too much over the weekend specially yesterday because i had to Phone in sick at work I also booked an appointment for  an x-ray at Dewsbury Hospital for Tuesday at 19.10 , I will phone in sick Tuesday and most likely for the rest of the week until I get my x-rays sent back to the doctors and we have had a consultation as to what is going on  .

September and it is getting hot which is good anything which keeps winter at bay is good a Indian summer would be bliss Tuesday is supposed to be the hottest September day in 55 years .

Been watching Casey Neistat vlogs on You Tube what an amazing life style makes my life seem so dull.

Listening to - Tom Petty and the Heart Breakers

Watching - Jason Bourne

LEFT TO MY OWN DEVICES

The roof of the van is being bombarded with acorns and twigs from the oak trees that surround our van every few minutes one will hit the roof because it is metal it is like throwing dried peas in to a tin bucket .
More leaves and twigs come down each day looks like summer is finally over which is good because we can cook big pots of stew and dumplings in the slow cooker .

This year once again is flying by  , my son is still refusing contact with me so I and time is passing he is still not grown up what a child he really needs to man the fuck up.my daughter is also pissed off with him because he did not get his mother anything for her birthday he did not even wish a her a happy birthday she took him to work in the morning because he is banned for drinking driving and he never acknowledge her birthday in any shape or form , he needs to be careful he does not end up out on his arse.

Apple iPhone 7s plus and air buds will cost us in the uk £1078 that is £919 for the 256 gb phone and £159 for the air buds wow what a cost hate to think what it would be on contract over two years .First time in nearly eight years that i have only paid £9 for my mobile phone now that I am on sim only plan .

Going to spend the day in York a week this Saturday Helen is going to a psychic work shop I will be left to my own devices in the centre of York cant wait a hog roast sandwich and a pint .

DYING FOR A DRINK

Went to the doctors surgery to see about hip replacement surgery this morning first thing that i need to do is go for a x-ray to see what the damage is I have to call on Tuesday to arrange an appointment should take a couple of weeks to get the results then we take it from there.

Helen's son Liam is spending the weekend with us we need to get some food for dinner I fancy carbonara or decent stew and dumplings.We cooked carbonara with smoked ham and double cream and tagliatelle  pasta.I also bought mushroom pattie and chicken and chirizo pattie and a loaf of tiger bread .

After I let Liam cut my hair it has not been that long since i went to the barbers but I let him cut the back and sides he did it really good to say he only started training a few weeks ago ,  it is grade one which is short but years ago I did have it grade one .

Helen drove the little Fiat 500 about a mile she was nervous but made no major mistakes she needs to get use to the gears and the pedals as the say practice makes perfect .

Monday the sender of the two year old text that I only  read a couple of weeks ago phoned me ,  after I left a message with his receptionist at the company he owns  I have learned  a load of interesting facts and information about people we use to knock about with it is amazing how many have died through drinking themselves dead not good .Hopefully we will meet up in the near future hopefully over a curry .
