TRIMMING BUSH PAINTING A WALL

 THURSDAY - Four more days until I return to work .Was up early had a shower before taking the dogs out for their morning walk the weather was ok could do with more sun and more heat but it is what it is .

dug out the lavender brushes at the front of the house after I trimmed them back with the hedge trimmer I fixed didn't cut through the wire this time .

Helen saw and photographed a u.f.o whilst we was driving to the petrol station in the afternoon I didn't see it as I was driving and we was going down a step hill that joined a main road .

Received a call from my son he was released from prison early they have not sort him out anywhere to live or any work what do they expect him to do he also couldn't get to the bank he doesn't have a bank card so he had no access to any cash not a great start to freedom , pity he is not an illegal immigrant he be house clothed feed and have money in his bank account. This country is fcuking going to the dogs we will be a third world country the way the government is fcuking it up for everyone .

FRIDAY - Went to Helens parents painted the wall they had replaced with board and screed also cut the remaining hedges and bushed that I didn't do when I cut the hedge trimmer cable last week .The picture below was before I painted it you can see the colour difference from one half of the photo to the other half  , now it all looks the same it was hard to see with the afternoon sunshine .

FIXED

 TUESDAY - Opened up the edge trimmer which was not that easy they use special screw heads just to make life more difficult also they were narrow gauge and sunk deep in to the handle luckily I had the tools /There was also plastic clips to prise off once you had it opened the wire wrapped round a  ring the wires then went to join on to a capacitor which had terminal caps on the wires both live and neutral I cut these off and I had to order some more of these from Amazon  next day delivery .I did what I could and left it until the terminal end caps are delivered tomorrow what a pain .A new matching Flymo trimmer  the same as currently on Amazon is £85.

 WEDNESDAY - The terminal caps came I joined the live and neutral to the capacitor put the terminal end caps on crimped them in to place screwed the wire clamp back on and screwed the unit back together put the plastic clips in place and plugged it into the mains to my utter amazement it worked I though it might have blown the plug fuse when I sliced through the wire as it tripped the rest of the electrics in their home but it was fine .

Took Rosie to the groomers sure the cost has gone up by another £2 paying £44 she's worth it 

ROCK N ROLLIN AGAIN

 SUNDAY - Helen was out most of the day doing readings at Mystical Moments a shop in near by Slaithwaite a few miles away I dopped her of at half past ten it would be around six when I pick her up. .Bought the ingredients for a stew which I will cook in the slow cooker with dumplings and Yorkshire puddings it will be ready when we get home at around  seven .

MONDAY - Hearing rumours of Oasis getting it back on with confirmation happening tomorrow with more then likely  with venues and tour dates being released .

Went to Helens parents they asked me if I could trim the bushes with the hedge trimmer only cut through the fcuking cable shite how embarrassing

" The guns have fallen silent

The great wait is over 

Come see 

It will not be televised "

BREAKING UP

 SATURDAY - It was nice having yesterday off specially since we was in the hospital of a few hours .Helen had a few readings to do today two where coming to the house luckily she was ok although she wa suffering from a headache after using the 4head stick which you apply to your forehead to combat head aches with out the need to pop any tablets .It worked after a hours nap she was 90% better try it if you suffer from headaches its half decent and costs under a fiver.

I had to ring in at work let them know I wouldn't be coming in for my shift at six p.m. , what can I do I know they cant cover it at such short notice but I don't have any other options .

They did her temperature , blood pressure then they took her bloods after this Helen had a i.v drip and other medicine's put into her i.v line they had to re-take her bloods because her potassium levels where too high , this can happen if the torniquet is too tight when drawing the blood , which I think was the case because the second sample came back fine .They did a Ecg that was ok so we was free to go home it was just half past seven o under four hours not a bad result . 

WEEDING

 FRIDAY - Was sent a email from work regarding moving up a band from three to four they are three increments before you reach the top pay scale .You also have to have or be prepared to do Cmi Level three which I will fine mega boring I doubt I will have the inkling to do it the pay difference once you reach the top as it stands now is £1.66 per hour or roughly £273 pounds a month before deductions that's in two years time   .My night rate enhancement drops from hourly rate plus 35% to hourly rate plus 30% and weekend rates drops from hourly plus 69% to hourly rate plus 60%.
