Helen and i at her brothers wedding evening reception last night , we took loads of photos,and i actually appeared on a few myself and quite a few with Helen which is always a bonus this one being my favorite shot , i am not always that photogenic specially when asked to smile it always looks too rehearsed .

I have been real busy working , had no free time been working on my nephews seven bedroom house loads of work needs completing throughout plus there is a two bedroom gatehouse which has been modernized and has its own spiral staircase leading to the bedrooms the toilet and shower is down stairs abs as a decent fitted kitchen and sitting room the garden is massive and they are planing an allotment for a part of it there is decking to the front and rear there mortgage is one hundred pounds more than what we are paying scandalous good for them but pissed me off at the rate we are paying toed in for another eighteen months.

went to Bolton Abbey was once again red hot took some bread and feed the ducks went for tea and coffee to the little cottage , there was a wedding on at the abbey church the main doors was open and you could see the couple at the alter getting married .

Went back to saddle worth moors not been since it snowed another red hot day was too warm rested for an hour had a picnic , Pek and egg mayo somethings never change .

Today went over to the North Yorkshire village of Malham i have not been back to Malham since i went youth hosteling from school remembered doing loads of walking and eating crap food and sleeping on crappy beds.

It was hot and tiring we took no water as we walked up the four hundred steps to the top everyone had bottled water felt i was in the desert with no canteen made it up to the top where the limestone pavement is , some of the rocks moved as we walked across them "they could do with pointing" i said to Helen like the peregrine falcons flying above us my remark went straight over her head



ABOVE THE LIMESTONE PAVEMENT




finally made it back down to the Buck Inn had a ice cold pear Magners with ice and Helen had a pint of coke , they are no ATM machines in Malham if you no cash everywhere charges you 50p to use your debit card every time .



Got home bought a disposable barbecue from Tesco two for a fiver and some pork steak beef burgers and sausages and we had our first barbie at this house that we lived in since 2008 just got the kitchen done well more or less and we are eating in the bloody garden typical why bother hehe got to laugh.

finally got the worktops stained and oiled got the tiling completed just need to grout and polish and perhaps re oil the worktops one last time even tiled behind the electric sockets like a true pro dust every where again due to using angle grinder for cutting tiles had doner meat and chips with cheese and onion for tea never made Sunday dinner , off all week so far had four days off and worked on the house every day need to get out more need to go to the moors or coast done nothing but breathed dust in hopefully next few days will be done apart from flooring .cant make my mind up to go see Robin Hood or prince of Persia or go to Picolinos or Mumtaz for dinner one night this week .

finally got the sink in and rest of base units wall units and the work top fitted . Took most of Thursday to get this done had trouble with the washer machine wouldn't empty had a cap end in one of the outlets didn't realize sussed it in the end a few tiles and some staining and sealing to do

Went to visit my daughter with Helen in their new house that they are all renting she wants a dragon tattoo my daughter not Helen she text me half one in the morning to tell me as it happened i was awake when she was fourteen she wanted a dragon and has never faltered trouble is she wants a complete back piece going down her shoulder and leg , she is now nineteen and lives with her flat mates and they are all hairdressers working at the same salon the house is opposite where they live , and all get on with each other and all look out for each one an other its a great set up and all seem to enjoy living in the home that they share its a ideal situation.
one of the girls has two children who stay alternative weekends everyone has an interest in caring for the children in effect the kids have four mothers what can be wrong with that.
Break up to day don't go back to work until June the seventh off from both jobs yippee no longer going to the Isle of Wight major arguments never mind life goes on .
Need to buy a barbecue asp along with fish and chicken and pear cider bought some tomato and red pepper relish which is sweet and tasty great with grilled poultry and fish , also love barbecued liver and bacon hope the sun shines hot and bright .

above church door at Adel

Helen went to see her own G.P and was prescribed some stronger pain killers this was Tuesday the hospital was suppose to fax/email there findings never happened.
work has been really busy and i have been staining the island worktop every night only to mess the varnishing up for some reason it didn't take ,i will have to sand it down and re do it not a five minute job was annoyed to say the least.
manage to get the pan rack up and Helen already dressed the airer before she went in to hospital painting the chimney breast green to match the radiator wall apart from that nothing great has happened it is also confirmed this week that we are not going to the Isle of Wight which as caused many problems and will do for sometime. sent the ferry tickets back for a refund not that i will get the amount i paid for them obvious its Britain nobody does nowt for nothing if there's a booking fee sure going to be a cancellation fee.

Sunday
fixed some brass cup hooks and re jigged so me ornaments about chilled out most of the day did a Sunday dinner , roast chicken with parsnips sweet potatoes leeks and carrots roast potatoes and Yorkshire puddings got to say did eat more than a pig would someone once said food is better than sex well today almost but then again it does depend who you have in your life and how starving you are.

went to Lawnswood crematorium around half seven in the evening Helen and i was the only ones there visited mum and dad and Paul and jack all the clan that's passed away.
From there went to the church at Adel we go every now and then it dates back to 1150 -1170 will have seen some weddings and funerals tears and joys.and no doubt if i had a pound for every photo took in its grounds i be a rich man

Saturday
We both had a easy day yesterday i went out in the morning to get cornflakes , brown bread and marmalade bought eight pints of milk and two bags of sugar a large jar of nescafe and two boxes of tea bags for tea/supper had fish and chips , lacquered varnished island worktop before going to bed Helen had some head pains but on the whole was ok for most the day

Helen as her Cat scan done this morning hopefully it will give a all clear and she can return home ,its nearly one and Helen has not had her scan done hopefully it be soon and we will get to know what is wrong with her.

went shopping bought some cooked chicken breast and some ham bread cakes and fruit loaf also some bottled water and some lemon muffins two barbecues chicken pizzas and some chicken tikka masala.
be nice to fill the house full of flowers for Helen's return home but impractical unless your Elton John of course i can understand why he is obsessed with flowers will have to get her some flowers for her hospital bedside .

late afternoon Helen went for her scan i was at my evening job she had seen the doctor and the results where that she had not had a stroke but a very serious strain of migraine ,although she can come home Helen will have to see a neurologist and go see her own G.P for after care, for now see is free to return home. I picked her up just after eight pm we had to go back to the ward after ten o clock in the evening to pick her medication up.

Went to my sisters house for a coffee she has just got two seven week old kittens which are trouble every minute they are not asleep he-he.

Took Helen to A&E last night after i had finished work , she had been having a burning sensation in her head , and the left said of her face felt numb and had ever so slightly drooped, after four hours and just before midnight she was admitted to Hospital, and a bed found for her on the acute ward.They think she has had a mini stroke during the night but wont know for sure until they do more tests and scans take place hopefully by later today.

it was amazing how man people in A&E due to drink and drugs many mentioned when asked what medication they was on said booze and methadone one even turned up with a suitcase he knew he was going to get a bed and no doubt medication, shower food and clean sheets.

I got home this morning at half one and as soon as i walked through the door i was missing her , our rag-doll Harvey was also missing Helen and he knew something was a miss, he as been chatting away constantly like he is asking questions that he needs answers to he is a very loyal cat and will be with Helen and follow her around from room to room most of the day.

something like this is a massive wake up call and you realize what you would miss if its taken away from you , not that i don't realize i do , but it makes you want to walk on beaches see the sunrise and sunset and get closer to nature and to visit the places you always wanted to but never will .

we spend too much time worrying over stuff we cant change that we miss out on the simple pleasures we spend too much money on doing stuff we shouldn't be doing and need spend more time on getting out of the house to pastures new and chilling need to buy a bike rack so we can cycle we have mentioned this in the past and it never happened said we was going to bye a tent and some basic camping equipment this has never happened to buy a barbecue so we can eat alfresco we can do all of these and we haven't , we are just building regrets for when we are older if we have the means to do it then we should just do it.

cant afford to waste anymore time and but stuff off we might not ever get a second chance if we don't do things first time round then its our own fault.

everything i want to do i want to do it with Helen that's why i walked out of my home and marriage to start again, to get things right to make changes in the way i live and the way i do things to have a second chance and a new beginning. Helen basically did the same when she walked out of her house and marriage to be with me so its important that from this day forward we get it right and make changes which are so obvious we should be making.And why is it at times like these you realize that you haven't got enough photos of us as a couple something else i have known for ages and not done anything about

Went back to visit Helen this morning and to drop her some stuff off she needed her mobile charger and her Jim jams and book she is reading will go back at two this afternoon i have took the day of work.

The photo is of the chapel at St James hospital i grew up passing the clock every day going to and from school both primary and secondary.

Three days of painting and finishing of and still not done , need a sink need flooring and still need to put rest of kitchen in, and worktop need a lottery win to finish house off how i we would like it , will get there one day , hopefully .



Back to work tomorrow been going to bed late and getting up early no problem bet tomorrow i cant get my arse out of bed be yawning all day .
Helen as got to finish off the airer put all the flowers and other decorations on it it the attention to detail i don't have.
sure i have seen a shadow out of the corner of my eye , in the house that has twice walked past me today and Helen saw something earlier on spooky


Listening to Usher " Raymond v,s Raymond "

went to view my nephews house that he has just bought it has seven bedrooms not including the two bedrooms that are in the coach house which is further down the drive, in the 60's it use to be a children s home they is traps in the floors and ceilings in the walls so you can exit to safety in case of a fire it needs decorating through out and will takes ages to get it how they want it.

Have been decorating our kitchen dinner got to do it before the bank holiday is over doing it in white cream and sage

Been busy this weekend stated to put the kitchen in have to wait for the sink so for now just but the work island in it has 2x8oo base units with drawers and the other side has 2x600 wall units surrounded buy oak end panels and worktop not sold oak but it looks ok from Ikea most of the stuff from the old kitchen has been stored in this alone , to fir another three base units and two wall units when funds permit .

LISTENING TO SCOUTING FOR GIRL - EVERYBODY WANTS TO BE ON TV

Getting there need to sort out my divorce money so i can pay my builder, lucky he trust me and knows he will get paid with in the next few weeks should be sorted but got to admit its been a pain the consent order should be now void and no further payments should be going through.I got to get some money back for what already has been paid out from my wages.

its great having doors into the garden going to make having barbecue a lot easier and feeding the rabbit less of a hassle just got to make sure the our rag doll cat Harvey doesn't get out , can even get the log burner burning something we havnt done since Rodley

Tonight went to my partners parents house after i finished work we both indulged in having a bath, i haven't had a bath since we left the house in Rodley most of the time when we lived there i used the shower, in the house we have now all we have is the shower, so to have a bath and lay down in hot water was totally relaxing i soaked for about 40 minutes and came out like a lobster ,its a pity we had to go back home to house full of builders debris and dust that should be sorted by this time next week fingers crossed

Made it back to Whitby the car exhaust is now putting out a load of smoke i need a new back box, a queue was outside the Magpie fish restaurant as there is most of the day , the Frank sutcliffe gallery was also shut which pissed me off as i wanted to get some photos and a DVD and book made it home we stopped of at the FOX & GRAPES for tea was OK for a pup restaurant i had chicken done in a barbecue sauce with pear sponge and custard for desert.

Fixed the second light in the kitchen part of our dinner now that the ceiling has been over-boarded and plastered was a bit of messing around to get a long enough hook into the joist to support the light fitting . in the afternoon drove over to Flockton to see Sharon and Steve.From there drove over to the Huntsman Inn just outside of Holmfirth .

Slow progress radiator moved out of the second bay window and a large new double radiator fitted to the opposite wall , its bigger than required so it should put out more than enough heat. Some more plaster boarding and some face brick work was completed to the kitchen bay , hopefully the plasterer is coming today.



All we want to do is get the house back to a home again and stop living in the one room .it makes the days very long i am going to work on a night which is a killer when you have been sat on your backside most of the day. I have had all week off from my main job which has meant no sleeping in have had to be up to let the builders in and have been making teas and coffees all day along with Helen .
Could be this time next week when the door and window arrives have a feeling it might be a few days longer when the builders have cleared up and gone.

Calling in to the county courts in Leeds city centre today hopefully to get a decision on the money regarding the sale of the house and the maintenance order getting squashed.

Suppose to be a nice weekend we both feel like getting of to the coast get some sea air we been breathing plaster and brick dust all this week need some salt air to refresh the lungs and to cap it all its back to work Monday

.
The week so far our dining room and kitchen is all in the living room our house resembles a squat or it looks like we are compulsive collectors and hoarders and could easily be candidates for a BBC2 documentary , or how clean is your home seeing that there is dust everywhere .
The kitchen window is getting bricked up either side and a smaller PVC window installed this will also create wall space for two wall units and two electric sockets,the window will take five days to manufacture and will make the back of the house more secure and we will have a window that we can open and close.

Bought from W.H.Smith the biography Carol Ann Lee has written "One Of Your Own" adapted from Myra Hindley's own unpublished autobiography penned whilst she was serving life in jail.



The Ferry tickets to get us to the Isle of wight came today we are sailing to Fishbourne from Portsmouth,and of course back again,Helen has never been on a ferry crossing before i did years ago sailing to Ireland from Scotland it was the week after Zeebrugger ferry disaster of 1987 when 187 people lost there lives on the Herald of Free enterprise

Booked to go see the Psychic Sally Morgan with Helen we are seeing her in York at the Grand Opera house on Monday the 13th September ,we have been following her recent TV series,Years ago my mother use to go to see Doris Stokes and also visited clairvoyants and attended certain spiritual churches.it will be my first visit Helen regular goes to see Steve Holbrook

The kitchen and dining room wall is now down and there is dust everywhere its going to take at least two full cleans if not more to get the house back to some state of cleanliness's



The acro props are out and the RSJ in place the left hand side of the kitchen ceiling is getting over boarded and re-skimmed

>

The original dining room door is now blocked up and supports the RSJ above hopefully had to rewire the lights and have stripped the walls of wallpaper bought a kitchen from Ikea for the twentieth of the price a bespoke would cost.



Least Harvey is chilled out about it all .

valentines day





Helen gave me this card which she hand made for valentines , and i love it no one ever before apart from the kids when they was younger has bothered to make me a hand made card i bought Helen's which i suppose is the easy way out.

To accompany the card she made my favorite banana cake which as been way too long form the last one that she baked and a roast chicken Sunday dinner with my favorite roasted parsnips and roasted sweet potatoes , will be going to bed with a full stomach tonight, wonder how i can burn a few calories off? will have to see .

I have been on the bus all week , well for each night i only caught the bus Monday morning after then i managed to get a lift in to work from Ray my work colleague cheers mate .On a night after my evening shift i have been catching the bus and getting home just before nine so i am out for nearly fourteen hours a day , by the time we have eaten relaxed and a coffee its usually midnight.

The car is booked in next Tuesday getting the clutch done which will cost around £450 pound .Its the first month that i have the court order to pay when an attachment of earnings for £400 was made , this will come out each month until the house is sold, so as always perfect timing so far 2010 ain't been the best of starts as they say things can only get better .

I received some paper work from the solicitor whom is assisting us in the sale of the house with my ex and it all seems to be going through fine fingers crossed i have borrowed money from my sister for the repairs of my freelander so i hope to pay her back as quick as possible , plus i need to get the car serviced and a cd/mp3 player fitted cant really be driving a car which has a cassette deck although i have got a cassette i can insert to enable me to use the I-pod , its not the same.

Went to the Arndale centre bumped in to a old Friend Wyn who is going to live in the states in the next couple of months , he is now married to an American lady he married her last year after meeting her online , he jetted over to see her and the relationship developed , and eventually after a few years they got married and now he is planning on giving the finger to his job , home and this country . Must be a nice feeling to fall in love jet off and start a new life in a foreign country miles away the other side of the world, and be gone for good . I bought Helen a couple of diary's will have to get her a personnel organiser if i can get one cheap on eBay ,i bought a usb phone charger went on to visit my twin sister Anne she gave Helen bottles of perfume a silver necklace bracelet and earrings , went to Millhouse pine and bought a large ceramic black heart,

The sale of the house i jointly own with my ex is still going ahead , went back to work and looking forward to the weekend again .I bought some more items of eBay its been well over a year since i made any purchases and then i have only ever bought two items . i bought a new black leather case for my Noika e71 and spare battery for my Fuji finepix digital camera which is over two years old but well up to the job , so i thought that i would buy a battery to back up the original one just in case they became obsolete , and a usb xd card reader which is being posted from Hong kong to work with a western digital tv media player that i am thinking of buying at a later date.

WATCHING :- "The Time Travellers Wife"

Been of work sick yesterday and today full of cold head aching sore nose headaches and feel sick plus cant stop blowing my nose its constantly running .Letter from estate agents the sale of the house is going through so it looks like its well on track for the sale to complete .
Getting the cavity walls insulated to day so all the drilling wont do my head any good least be warmer even though at the moment i have a temperature any way .Hope i am well enough to go get my hair cut its a right mess needs a decent cut after Helen has cut it the last three times its a bit wild.

At least i can have the internal wall removed so we have a kitchen dinner which will make it the biggest room in the house , i will fit a new kitchen and patio doors out to the rear garden .
Also we will get radiators fitted through out which will cost us £1800 already had a quote but couldn't get the finance the boiler is fine and up to its job .
I suppose i better not be counting too many chickens JUST yet but its nice to know its not all doom and gloom , AND at this stage things are looking up it is nice to know things are changing .
January as been a long month in a new year and things have changes so much i don't know what the rest of the year will bring , but i believe things will change and the end of this year i will be in a totally different position.

Another thing we are considering is a girlfriend for Harvey think it would make him happy and give Helen the chance to make some money , if we could sell the kittens at a reasonable price , what we dint want is a house full of cats so we must sell them on ,easier said then done if they are all cute

i have accepted .I can get on with my life with Helen i can draw a line under it all and it will be the end , no more demands no issues its done and dusted .

At ten am this morning i am in Court in Leeds city centre defending myself against the ex over maintenance payments not looking forward i have no idea how it will turn out.
I hope common sense prevails and i hope i am being watched over and get a decent result and get some good luck when i need it the most.

Today Helen is going in to work to say her goodbyes to people that she has worked with over the years that she has been working at the hospital , no doubt it will be emotional saying goodbye is never easy .

Another day that i have been asked to work over hope it lasts for weeks to come i will do what overtime i can for obvious reasons hehe money we ain't got enough ,i just hope that it lasts until i sell my house or Helen gets another job or six little numbers come up ,it will all come good in the end , we will both have to battle on until we come out tops but sooner rather than later is all i ask, and that we are happy in the end so far so good .

Helen has handed her notice in at work has given them four weeks , her last sick note went in at the same time for four weeks .

I am up in court next Tuesday for maintenance issue's the ex wants more money she even wants money for when my son lived with me , when does the meal ticket end she is with someone else wy cant he support her he more or less moved in with her . my son is seventeen at the end of the month is not in full time education and works part time five nights a week.
Anyway i hope her face lift needs re doing which cost her £2500 , no wonder she wants more maintenance what for now her tits doing.



She would never be capable of having an affair getting two blokes interested in her would be more or less impossible and getting two to shag her forget it .


On a more positive note the house i jointly OWN with said bitch has had an offer made on it for the full asking price so fingers crossed .

Went to Saddleworth to take more photos need a ideal photo that we want to use to put in a frame for our living room wall went ignored the warning lights for the road closed this time we got stuck in two foot of snow.
Helen got out of the car i cleared the snow from behind the wheel and drove back then went forward a foot and back a foot at a time finally got the wheels to grip and could pick up enough speed to clear the drift although it was all over the road going sidewards and sliding , had to drive straight has i had no room to turn around because of the snow drifts.
Picked Helen up 300yards further on nowt like leaving a sinking ship and made it to the next available turning space then drove back to the Huntsman inn other cars where finding it difficult and they also where having to turn around so we were not the only fools out and about .
Went to Saddleworth village bought some cakes and some paraffin for our hurricane lamps back at home , no doubt we will burn the house down that will melt all the snow.
Finally made safely home the end,
