TWO BUFFETS IN TWO DAYS

WEDNESDAY  - Helen went for her nails doing I went and got her a new coil atomizer for her e-cig and a bottle of liquid  after we went for a Chinese buffet at the Trinity centre the food to be honest was not that good the selection was poor some of the dishes on offer was empty and some of the food was cold I doubt if any of the dishes where freshly prepared at best it was filling the sweets and  deserts where ok and the decor looked ok but a little bit dated also some of the plates and dishes where cracked it was nowhere near as good has Chao Baby buffet that we had a couple of weeks ago the price was ok we have passed it on our visits to the Trinity centre numerous times I think we will keep passing it ,



THURSDAY - Went to to our local Toby Carvery for dinner  IT WAS 13.30  they was a few people al ready dining  . Helen had roast turkey and gammon I just had the pork with Yorkshire puddings and there was plenty of roast potatoes and mash w have not had a Carvery for a while it was nice to have a proper roast dinner mid week .


I bought a bigger aluminum water bottle it is at 750 ml it is another 50%  the 500 ml was not lasting my full shift at work the extra 250 ml should be enough if not can always fill both up with my dilute orange and mango drink it keeps it cold for a good 18 hours special the amount of ice I put in .

P&D

FRIDAY - Christ have to go to work at 14.00 instead of 18.00 that's making a big cut into my day at least I get o finish at 22.00 it as been a while I know parking is going to be hard and I am already counting on having to go out and move my car at four o clock  , and I bet it will be raining cats and dogs sods law it will .
Least I will get to see some people I have not sen for ages and get to go home at a reasonable hour for a change .

SATURDAY -  Went over to Helen's parents home I am painting their bathroom and bedroom they are doing the bedroom a baby blue I rang out of paint before giving it all one coat will have to go back Sunday , we got cooked for us us pan fried battered  fish and hand cut chips for dinner thank god for masking tape and paint rollers .

SUNDAY - Left alone they went for more paint for the bedroom I started to decorate the bathroom all white apart from the back wall rang out of white paint they had brought me another tin of blue so I finished the bedroom will take one more day .

Helen is saving up for a Silhouette Cameo 3 she should have enough by the end of next week it is basically a machine that cuts out vinyl letters and stencils using a software application which you install on a pc or Mac.

MONDAY - Back to my 18.00 -02.00 shifts which suit me better won't have many left to do so more the merrier .

OP 2

Well another weekend over and done with got to admit they are not what they used to be use to look forward to nights in the pub then on to a club leave the club at chucking out time and then on to a Blues . Now its coffee , Netflix and Spotify and early nights ,  how I have changed . I honestly don't think I could afford night club prices and I wouldn't even like to guess the price of a taxi home .

This Friday I am doing 14.00 - 22.00 be weird doing my old shift pattern the girl who is on maternity is having a KIT day or other wise known as a keep in touch day , keep in touch with yourself more like  it is a total waste of time but management think otherwise never mind at least it is on a Friday .

TUESDAY - Went to see my surgeon he has agreed to do another hip replacement operation number 2  this time it is going to be my right hip which seems worse than my left hip was , it  should take place in May or June hopefully late June I need another x-ray this should be in the next few weeks .Fingers crossed it is all plain sailing as it was last time which was Jan 2017 .

Update my Android to Pie photo gallery playing up not syncing to cloud or downloading to phone should have left well alone , was way too soon jumped the gun I guess .

Need to do a hospital list for my three night stay at the Spires in Elland need to download a Netflix series to watch , a book to read and music to listen to late at night in case I don't sleep .

MY INNER SOLES

The Bose are really  good I know they are nowhere near the best you can get that are currently on the market but for my needs and for the type of music listen to  and of course the You tube videos and Netflix etc that I watch both on my Mac and phone then they are brilliant a big improvement . The noise cancelation is a first for me and this feature alone makes a big difference in the sound  quality , also just to relax and not even have any music playing is very tranquil and peaceful sounding like a Buddhist now , but are they worth £300 maybe not the are expensive . Will I get my money out of them I know I will so they will be cost effective. My last pair of Phillips bluetooth on ear headphones cost me £20 this was more than five years ago and are still going strong good value or what .

Ordered some , well a pair one for each shoe some gel rubber inner soles hopefully to combat the plantar fasciitis that I am suffering in my left heel I want to have good mobility before and after when  I have surgery on  my right hip .

The wind is still blowing and the rain is still falling roll on summer please come quickly .

Watching on Netflix the F1 series "Drive to Survive " used to be into F1 and would follow every race buy the mags and keep on track if you like with all the media coverage I have not had a serious interest for the last few years the season starts this weekend might try and get my interest back .

SATURDAY - Had a bit of a sleep in got up just before ten so a good seven hours sleep which is very good for me will be in bed for tennis tonight so will get even more sleep playing catch up usually get to be for three a.m and updrafts for half eight .

Took Helen to Wortley in Leeds she had two readings to do I sat in the car watching Ricky Gervais in "After Life " awesome enjoyed every episode .

DEADPOOL WHO ?

Helen is  still in pain from her on going leg cramps the calf muscles are aching hopefully this will ease over the next 48 hours , Helen needs to get off her arse and move around more before she totally seizes up , everyone knows what happens if you park a car up and leave it .

Watched Leaving Neverland I think the two accusers had there chance in court bur let him off so move on , I do think Michael Jackson was a groomer and an abuser even though he has no convictions for any of these crimes , I think it needs more victims to come forward , some of the blame must go to the parents of these kids , what gets me because they where all male children the parents did not think they was at any risk , no parent let there seven year old daughter sleep over but for their sons it was different matter which is something that  I can't get my head around .why was this so was they totally brain dead parents  apparently so .

SUNDAY -Went to the Royal Oak at Copmanthorpe for Sunday dinner we meet her parents their at midday the both of us had the roast beef it was good had a pint of cloudy cider to wash it down .

MONDAY - Went to Meadow hall Helen wanted some sweat shirts and other shit from Primark .
I went to the Bose shop bought a pair of Bose QC11 in limited edition midnight blue for £299 they are awesome to say the least . They can connect to more than one device and so easy to swap over to another device and the noise cancellation excellent.
Bose even gave me a ten percent discount voucher which made them cheaper than Pc world who are selling the other two colours less than Bose , which was gratefully accepted .

My daughter arrived back safely from her friends hen party in Portugal they flew out Friday and from the photos she posted I am pretty sure they all had a good time .

TUESDAY - Went back to Meadow Hall Helen had a pair of jeans to take back as they were way too tight . Even though the other two pairs she bought at the same time from the same store fitted perfectly .

Went to Chao Baby Thai buffet restaurant we have been before its very good , I had the Thai beef stew , ginger chicken and fish pieces fried in batter all with noodles rice and chips not all at the same time or on the same plate .The desserts was ok but of course  its the main courses that you go for .


Helen had a photo taken by me with  a life size model of Deadpool , honestly she had no idea who he is this is someone who has never watched an episode of  "Game of Thrones" or "The Walking Dead" I kid you not .She does watch 'Harry Potter though.

The operation went ok they called me to ask to pick him up early he was stressing out post op so I collected him after a few hours he was given some oral pain killer solution and is booked in for a check up this Friday at 11.30 .He does not have any stitches the wound is small and is left to heal naturally hopefully it won't get infected .

FRIDAY - Bentley had his post op check up he is fine all is good . Bought a bottle of Caleb Treeze organic leg cramp juice made from cider vinegar garlic juice and ginger juice its supposed to be very good and getting rid of cramp it cost £16,95 hope its good the feed back looks ok Helen is suffering bad with leg cramps through the night .

O2 WHISTLE

Bailey is booked in to get his coat washed and cut the full platinum treatment teeth nails the full Monty , also Bentley is due to go to the vets to get castrated this to stop him spraying on the new sofa can't afford to be forking out another £425 , for some strange unknown reason I thought that  he had already been done not long after we adopted him .

Went to the garden got a pot and tray for my bonsai tree that I am attempting  to grow from seed not sure how the planting of the seeds will take I have five fibre  pots hopefully one or two will start to shoot if they do the need to go in to the fridge for three to six weeks to germinate them will also have to get some feed and hopefully late Ron some bonsai shears or scissors .

Went to the White Rose shopping complex in Leeds , Helen wanted a pair of white Nike Air force trainers last weekend we tried to get them from the Wakefield store and  they refused to sell us the junior ones Helen takes a size  five they are exactly the same trainers but £20 cheaper as you don't pay vat on children clothes shoes etc and they didn't like that we was saving £20  it so we walked away they did not get a sale but the Leeds store did not have problem they sold her the junior ones without any issues.

Bidding on some Marshall 3 blue tooth headphones in black my highest bid is £52 they end tomorrow fingers crossed I get them for less than that .

My work paid £400 in to my bank hopefully it won't happen again they might still owe me some money they don't intend to pay the full amount out standing so might have another £25 - £35 paid on this months wages .

O2 is pissing me off big style I am getting charges for a news and information company this month was £15 they was supposed to have stopped it yet I am getting charge last month they refunded me the money on to this months bill now they won't do this for this months bill saying I have to phone up the company to get a refund why you was supposed to block the number I was told I would by O2 that I would get no more charges I have paid for the standard charge I have on my contract if you pay the company your fault don't pay them you know its a con if this continues and is not resolved  I will terminate the contract myself and O2 can whistle and they won't call me because I will have a new number .

THURSDAY - I have an appointment to see the surgeon who replaced my left hip I am seeing him on the 19th of March at 10.45 until then not sure what happens or in what order , or even how long I will have to wait hopefully it will see me being off through the summer .

Helen goes to Pontefract hospital tomorrow at 08.00 am she is having a colonoscopy she had breakfast this morning then he'd no more food she had to take 10 Senna tablets and a sachet and half of powder laxative she needs a empty bowel for the camera to be able to see clearly .

FRIDAY - Went to the hospital at pontefract the procedure to over an hour and half but she got the all clear no sign of anything untoward which was good news went to  farmer Copley's farm  shop bought some lamb and nice piece of pork for Sunday dinner to be honest it is no better than our local farm shop .



Got home to fine the cat at spayed all over the sofa will never get the stink out it had soaked through and got into the foam no good to it to the skip that is the sofa should have took the cat , £425 for a new two seater at least we machined washed the covers so we have a spare set just in case and expensive trip out ., just paid £325 off the card as well from last month , would have been in a dilemma if I had not had the card always said it was there for emergencies which is what today was .

Wages owe us around £450 which might go on next months wages if I don't get it paid tonight by bacs transfer .

APPRECIATED
