Went to Drakes fish restaurant which was very good value although helen thought the chips could have been fried for longer.



There was a lot of buskers out on the streets and a artist doing caricatures of people there was a man playing a piano and another artist painting and selling his scenes of around york .
There was new shops that we had'nt seen before one selling Apple products and we still would like to do a ghost walk and go to the dungeons and Jovik centre we really need to do a long weekend.

Well mt redundancy comes in to force on the 31st of July , hopefully it wont be all doom and gloom and i will eventually get another job. There is chance i have got extra shifts cleaning on a weekend when the theaters we clean on a night and at last audit got 100% pass mark i can and go clean them when they have a operating list on certain Saturdays forthwith.hopefully there will be cover during the week as well so not on the bread line just yet.

Sunday
went to Meadow Hall my daughter took her i-phone 4 back because of speaker problems it was exchanged for a new i-phone 4, my partner Helen took her i-phone 3 back because of reception issues and was given a new phone as well in both cases no arguing , no asking for receipts , no hassles , no interrogation just a straight new for old swap , a result in both cases.

There was other there taking apple stuff back from air books to screens as far as i see every one was being treated as good if i need to buy anything apple its nice knowing if there is a issue it will be dealt with fixed or replaced free of charge , no one was getting stressed out we did have to make an appointment but it was well worth it.

.

Finished work last night collected my daughter from her house she is staying over we are going to my aunts Ivy's funeral today, we cooked some gammon steaks and chicken breasts for tea with new potatoes.messed around on the pc just relaxed , hopefully the weather is looking good for tomorrow

Yesterday went back to the moors stopped at the Ford Inn just before twelve for dinner i had sausages with bubble and squeak helen had slow cooked lamb both dishes where excellent.This time it didn't rain and it was warm walking,did another three hours walking and taking lots more panoramic photos , On the night i went over to my nephews house with my external hard drives one is corrupted due to it not being ejected properly and the other is a new 1T/B western digital external to back up all the data from the corrupted drive ,Helen had some readings to do,and its my last night off from my evening job , really do need to win the lottery .

Saturday
bought a new drill from Wickes was a bit dubious hope its value for money, Tried it out at Louise she needed a key cupboard fixing to the wall which it did no problem but they where only block walls.

Sunday Went to the moors took a load of panoramic photos which turned out better than i thought it was cold wet and raining the mist came down and within twenty minutes Dovestone was completely shrouded in mist , a hour later the sun is out and its hot.





Monday bank holiday - Went to meadow hall to the Apple store to get both Helens i-phone and my daughters i-phone checked out Louise also came with us , picked my daughter up from her house then it was straight on the m1 to sheffield it was packed what with it being a bank holiday and lousy weather it was a night mare parking , we have to go back sunday we had to make an appointment to see one of the technicians.
Went back via the moors stopped off at the Ford inn for a drink

.

I have the next ten days off and the next five nights off from work today its just a chill out day doing nothing in particulate , Went to White Rose shopping centre to PC World and bought a 1T/B Western Digital external hard drive , had fish and chips then went to Primania and bought a pair of jeans so much better than river island whose also go under the crotch after about a year and are four times the price.

SATURDAY
my aunt ivy died bless her she was 97 years old and hopefully winging her way to meet her son Paul who died way too soon before her her husband jack and my mother and father Ethel and Ted another one of the clan now gone R.I.P.

Received a letter from college offering another added two years on to my redundancy package which equates to around another £1000 more the better got to look at a thousand quid means food for another three months electric and gas paid all helps.

I will also insure my car and tax it for a year outright plus a service and any other work that is appropriate either in case i need to sell it or just because its unlikely i will get another one so have to look after the one i have.

drove to Mattock Bath where they have the cable car taking you across the gorge up to Abraham heights cost of two adults was £25 once at the top there is a mine and cave to explore didn't go up this time might go back and do the cable cable car to get some ariel shots of the town below , from there we went to Bakewell which was only 9 miles away a great little place to stop off with some shops and cafes to visit.



Sunday
went to garden center at Uppermill called in to the Ford inn for lunch the weather was not has good as yesterday and it was cold and grey

Saturday we spent most of the day driving around the villages near to the Peak district going from place to place just taking photos every so often stopping for a coffee , it was raining very overcast very windy and dark with lots of rolling clouds cloudy.At Holmfirth we called in to the local baker and bought a pork pie and a apple pie to go with the flask of coffee we made.We called in at the local Antique shop
Ended up going in to the Ashley Jackson gallery/Studio which was just over the road the artist himself was in residance he took us upstairs to his private gallery to show his most expensive art work all done in water colours ranging from a few thousand going up to £60,000 ,why i have no idea we where dressed in our walking gear , he was down to earth and very chatty telling us about the meetings he had with L.S.Lowry the artist famous for his matchstick men paintings.He also should a print he had done for the world trade towers attack which Hangs at Nato head quarters in America , it had me wishing i had studied art need money do another painting, he was very interesting and i am glad he took time to show us his work and to chat to us, we was with him for twenty minutes , and it did make me feel to go out and by a sketch brushes a easel and some water colours.


.

From Holmfirth went to Castle hill to the Queen Victoria tower which we have seen many times on the horizon but never checked it out made it to the top the view was endless could see for miles including Saddleworth Moor and the transmitters at Emily Moor.

.

The tower was opened in 1899 and twenty thousand people turned up to witness the opening of the tower by the Earl of scarborough , it was original called the jubilee tower but was changed to victoria after the queen herself gave permission for her name to be used




Today Helen did part one of her reiki masters course which will take her a few months of self healing and other courses to attend and pass .

other stuff this week as just been work and sleep obviously work is still ending on the 31st July hopefully i will find a full time job as quick as possible , Pity i cant paint 40k to 60k a painting would be nice even if the tax is around 45% , was told by the man himself every piece of his art who ever owns it and is selling it on through the auction houses Ashley gets 1.5% of the overall sale price , which he also pays tax on , he is currently 70 years young might be a idea to use some of my redundancy to by a piece of art 3k will buy me a original and £400 a limited edition print , hopefully he be painting out and about for years to come.

Last night off we went up the m62 to Oldham heading for the the Bower Hotel to see the medium spiritualist clairvoyant Stephen Holbrook. He was very good in fact he was excellent the amount of incidents details along with time and dates he was telling different people was truly amazing , He has been doing readings for nearly thirty years and getting messages from his spirit guide Archie May who was a sergeant in the first world war, either killed in action or seriously maimed.Archie has guided Stephen whilst he has been doing meetings for the last twenty nine year.
With the help of James Christie three books "The light in the Darkness" "out of this world" and "survival" which all chart his life and are also on going autobiography and highlight his work.




Helen as been to see him six times now and has been impressed each time me only the once next time he is in Leeds i will go again.Comparing Steven Holbrook along side Sally Morgan i was more impressed with Stephen's prediction and performance i came out of his show wanting to know more about him as a person not so with Sally Morgan.

last day off from full time job working tonight going to clean the car it needs the black bumpers and door trims doing could also need a good t-cut and waxing got to start looking after it better than i do going to be a while if ever before i get another set of wheels.The body work is sound no rust as far as i can see and no dents or major scratches inside needs a good clean and some new car mats would,nt go a miss also a new cd/mp3 player would be nice nothing mega bucks just something bottom end of the market maybe if possible with a i-pod connection as well.



This one above does all required and at 10p under sixty quid is quite affordable at the moment its got the original land rover cassette player fitted which is a bit in the dark ages and seeing as i got rid of all my cassette tapes a eon ago very pointless , i wont bother getting any speakers loudness is sufficient with what i have in the car already years ago on my mark 111 escort i had a cheap graphic equalizer fitted which made a ton of difference with extra speakers on the rear shelf , but not bothered the volume half way up is loud enough these days. i could do with a leather steering wheel cover as well and a decent air freshener.

Then again when i loose my job and of course do less driving is it all a bit pointless should i be saving every penny i get to help with bills and buy food and clothes is tough don't know July is going to be here before i know it hopefully i will get another job but i get the feeling from people i have meet that are out of work have all said something similar twenty years in work and being made redundant with a very meager payout which equates to three quarters of a years salary as they say life goes on, when the disaster hit in Japan and all the people and country was torn apart it made me think why should i moan about anything perhaps i just get on with it and adjust when needed until then sod it i have another three months salary and the means of paying another years or 18 months mortgage repayments alot can happen in year and a half.any people out there got was of coping with less money please pass on your advice it would be appreciated.

Listening to :- The Stranglers Greatest Hits 1977-1990

Yesterday bought a black and colour cartridge for the Kodak printer , a ream of a4 paper and some black plastic folders and some plastic wallet inserts all for Helen's psychic work , after dropping her off at her Friends house in crossgates i went over to visit my daughter at her house in Woddlesford only a few miles away , ended up watching the James Bond film with Roger Moore "Live And Let Die " it was ironic it was one of the few films i went to the pictures to see with my father the other two being "Papillon" and "The Sting"





i suppose they was all classic films back in the days i remember going to see the James bond film it was at the odean in Leeds city centre and i should have been at school i to a note in and got out of the afternoon lesson so we could watch the film to this day still love the James bond films , Papillon was the first book i read from cover to cover whilst on holiday with my family at Scarborough.The Sting i guess it was one my Dad wanted to watch which i loved for its story line and of course the good guys won in the end.

,


just remembered there was another classic film i watched with my father " Butch Cassidy And The Sundance Kid" that we watched together at the Clock Cinema Roundhay road which now is a electrical retailers was a great little cinema as was the Lyric on Tong Road which i went to years later.



last film i went to see with my Daughter was the Resident Evil film "Afterlife" after watching Jame Bond i stayed with my daughter and had a Chinese take away for tea with her it was nice to spend a couple of hours with her alone as i don't see her as often as i like , when you do reminisce and look back life is gone in a flash time is too short and unlike your favorite film we cant rewind play again our press pause , Just might buy all the four films shown abov ,and e Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid just might be the first.

well my last working day will be on the thirty first of July not that long taking off weekends holiday entitlement i have another 47 days left working for my current full time employer , my job i do on a night from half past four until half past eight will be my only source of income i will be losing around £1500 a month which is going to make life very hard.

Hopefully the first few months will set the scene for what follows , its obvious i am going to do my best to get another job whatever that is , as long as there is a wage attached then i will be oblige to take it hopefully it wont effect the job i do on s night. it might mean that i do a serious of part time jobs that nobody wants due to them signing on job seekers or getting other benefits, me working will mean i cant claim jsa or sign on but what other benefits or payouts i can get i have no idea for the last twenty years i have been in full time employment.

i suppose big changes will have to be made in the food we buy the bills we pay going out clothes we wear everything is touched by money its the royal wedding today they will never have to worry about housing bills shopping luxuries when the next lay offs or redundancies will affect the house and family and i guess that's the position we all want to be in but never will , HOW CHEAP CAN WE LIVE IS THE QUESTION THAT NEEDS ANSWERING MORE THAN ANYTHING.

The photo is a gargoyle over a door in Robin Hood's Bay

no work yesterday apart from my night job then off today apart from my night job then off saturday sunday monday and tuesday all day but then working wednesday but off wednesday night working thursday all day and night then off friday , which is the day of the royal wedding but will be working friday night , i am then off mayday the following monday but at this time i am not sure if its all day i have off or if i am working that night ain't life confusing.

Bought Russell Brands book "booky wook" to read whilst i am off ,and just in case the weather decides to change from this glorious sunshine ,the book was from the local charity shop only cost me a bargain £1.50 and its in mint condition.
Also i am planning on watching some films Anthony Hopkins in "The Rite" , "The Last Three Days" staring Russell Crowe and the "Season Of The Witch" with Nicholas Cage.

Hopefully over the next four days will get to Whitby and Robin Hoods bay which will be more opportunities for photographs to be taken need to purchase a 1.5 TB external hard drive for storage and would consider buying a media player for storing and watching films on which will free up some space on pc's laptops and other external drives i own , hopefully i am working the next few months before i get made redundant. A old school pal contacted me who lives in Canada considering it is well over 35 years since we was at school together was a nice surprise , one never knows one place my Dad loved and i have never been to is Canada apparently , we was emigrating there when we was little but it never happened all the paperwork was in place to go but my Father pulled out at the last minute.

Went to Yorkshire Sculpture park it was a long walk round took some brilliant photos and had a great lamb pie in the restaurant all in all it was a good day out loads of walking nice scenery but tiring.

my daughter stayed with us last night had our first barbeque of the year bought two disposable use once tray which are ideal and set them up in the garden did sausages burgers and chicken all tasted very good its the first time my daughter has stayed the night we all watched Wes Craven film "Take my soul" A total rubbish movie IN MY OPINION.

dropped my daughter of at the train station early this morning , we was all up at half six , we was taking her to the train station so she could meet her friend and head off to London for a hair show that is fully funded by her boss and his salon the tickets alone to the show are worth hundred pounds , lucky her

Called in to Leeds city center car boot sale just after half seven the parking is free entrance tickets in are a quid bought some rechargeable 2450 ni-mh AA batteries £2.00 for two i bought eight for our Fuji cameras.

decided to go to Edale not far from Lady bower reservoir took these pictures above was nice and sunny and very warm use the sat nav to get us back to Holmfirth from there went to Saddleworth and Upper-mill photos below.

Under the threat of redundancy at my full-time college job.been offered just over £11,500 but under £12,000 as a redundancy pay out which as been enhanced wow lucky me .will pay the mortgage for over a year and will stop paying basic rate tax on my second job but that's what I get for twenty years service , others I know are getting 5Ok plus which is more like it never rains but fucking pours.can't sign on cause I work two jobs so no doubt be Penalised to the max and will get no help what so ever.think I will be a caravan and live at the coast and fish all day for my supper least I will be tanned and stress free.What chance as anyone got of getting a job over fifty years of age or forty if it comes to it , this government and country just get better all the time why are we investing in wars and sending six hundred and fifty million to India and bailing other countries out of the shit when we are up to our necks in it fighting for survival.

On lighter note Helen did a craft fair which was quite good and has been busy doing Psychic readings which happened quite a lot over the last few weeks so it's not all doom and gloom also my daughter is staying over Saturday night which I am looking forward to , if she doesn't need to go to meadow hall with her I-phone might get to go to the coast for a days trip take some photos with my new camera.

finally got a new second Fuji fine pix s2800 hd camera second hand from a shop in Leeds city center i had to buy a 4gig memory card and a battery charger and set of batteries the camera cost £69,£179 pound new so it was a good bargain its in mint condition only thing missing is its lens cap if i had bought it new i would have had to get a memory card and batteries for it so i ain't moaning.its 14 million pixels and 18 optical with blink and smile recognition and will do for now.

Day off from my day job i have to go to a funeral service and cremation at Lawnswood a Friend i use to work with and live near to , his mother passed away aged 92 , he came to my mothers funeral so i feel obliged to do the same.Its been a while since i have seen him he lived with his mother after marrying then divorcing within the space of a year that was when he was twenty one he is now 65 years old he has lived in the same street in the same house since.he never had another partner and never got involved with another woman , he does not own a i- pod or any type of mp3 player laptop or computer doubt he would have any idea where to begin , he has no digital camera but has a mobile phone that he struggles to use as Bruce Willis said in one of his films he is a Timex watch in a digital age , he looked after his mother 100% of ever day for the last twenty odd years , me i think that its quite sad ,as he could have had loads of photos digital recordings of his mothers live and memories cause i know when my mother died i wished i had have had more i had very little of my dad he died way before i had a pc laptop digital camera , i went to the service with Helen , i didn't take my camera and nothing was recorded of her last existence on earth by the amount of people there i think it will be a while before she is forgotten R.I.P

Helen would really love to get her license and take driving lessons and then to pass her driving test so she could by one of these Nissan Figaro's , she has falling in love with them after seeing one the other weekend they are very retro and i do like them the interiors are very 50,s.

it would look brilliant parked next to my camper van which i would love to buy so we could load up with the goodies we would need for a weekend of on the road ,loads of warm bedding and pillows we would go touring to Scotland Ireland and the rest of the British isles.
We dream off parking them side by side on the drive of house we would love to buy over looking Dovestone reservoir , we never be in rain and shine we would walk all day taking photos of our travels and updating blogs along the way to tell of the people we have meet in the cafes pubs in towns and villages , be bliss be heaven we be happy beyond believe definitely need to win the lottery to be able to do it , if you don't have dreams not going to have any come true , it be us out of the rat race permanently , Helen could concentrate on her psychic medium work i be happy just recording history ,via the web one day soon hopefully.
Helen stayed out last night at her Friends in Flockton its only when someone is not there you realise that life is for sharing its better as a duet rather than solo ,pick Helen up in a few hours alas not in the camper van just yet.

Helen was a great success last night the medium who came was 100% impressed with all the messages and all the images Helen was recording from the world of spirit Helen is now believing in her self more and more each day , she is now getting messages so clear I can see the change in her . She is also so is worrying less about convincing people and we now know that both our destiny's will change dramatically sometime in march this year.We always believed we was put together for a reason and that it was for a purpose hopefully it will be clearer in March.
If true we are moving again but also keeping the house we have we won't be living in Leeds but a place we both go regular to it is has good has living in the country will have to wait and see.
after finishing work went to the friendly dragon at peice hall halifax Helen needed some Dorren virtue oracle cards unicorns and fairies i bought this pewter dragon,Helen had her first sandwhich at Subway she liked.
Also tonight we went to a spiritual meeting at Tranquility on stanningley road the lady who runs it was the medium you visited us last night at our house there was around 25 people there and she was very impressive

Just changed the design and art work of my blog because nothing stays the same and why should it.

My partner is psychic and has been getting messages for a lady who runs the slimming club Helen goes to which is in the church over the road from us , so was so impressed what Helen was telling her via text messages and odd phone calls that she asked if she could send a taxi to collect Helen and take her to where she lives , Helen of course agreed and went over when she got there the Elaine the dead mans daughter also had her mother present . The messages Helen had been giving was from her dead father and obviously her mothers dear departed husband they have both been to bereavement counselling and never accepted or forgiven him for passing away , i don't be believe he had much say in the matter .after Helen had spent sometime with them revealing things only he said to her through the spirit world they were both was astounded by Helen's accounts and details so much so she has now around 18 other people wanting to see her both was happy they will not be going to bereavement counselling anymore also one of them also visits another medium who tonight is on her way to our house to see Helen for a reading hopefully the spirits will be talkative.i am well proud and Helen is immensely happy she has helped two people to move on with their lives and be at rest with the passing of their loved one.


Me my back has been good today and was not that bad yesterday think it would help if i lost a stone but all the food i love is fatting curry duck , noodles , Donner kebabs and meat pies and mash then there is the drink i mainly have ten to fifteen cups of coffee a day and a few pear ciders specially on pay day but come summer Will get a new bike and go walking on the moors from dawn till dusk one of the reasons i want a better digital camera than what i currently have would like the one pictured here its not mega bucks and will do me fine looking at getting it next payday

Laid up in bed with a knackered back it's been playing up since Thursday last I rested it over the weekend didn't go to work Saturday or Sunday .when I woke this morning and rolled out of bed it seemed fine I put my arms over my head to stretch and something trigger a spasam in my lower back and a sensation like a red hot poker had been shoved in to my spine occurred not good.Helen gave me some tablets she takes for her sciatica and it's eased the pain I have the feeling if I move wrong or turn too quickly I am going to be suffering for days , I dare not drive it's hard looking left and right also if I stop or brake sharply it is going to jar my back and make it worse, putting socks on and tying shoelaces very painful and difficult , so , not sure what to do for the best rest or get up and move about .

Not been up to much really , still going to the moors on a regular basis printed pictures using new printer which is well good for the money and photos look well on high gloss paper.
Thinking about a Fuji finepix 1600 camera buying it from Amazon its not the camera i really want but the camera i can afford it should do the job will need to get some rechargeable batteries but that doesn't phase me.
still working seven days a week saying that my back as been playing up so i have had the weekend off.working till nine at night till end of march cleaning the operating theatres which i really love i work with my Filipino Friend victor who as his own problems in life money wife and tiredness he works longer hours then i do.
would love to book a holiday but its too hard at this moment in time contemplating going abroad.
the year has gone pretty quick tidy the garden up as soon has its warm enough to sit out have barbeque's and light enough to use the laptop outside i will be, car has not broken down this month which is a blessing other than that nothing else to report. Still in love still breathing , still love curry and pear cider and still waiting for six numbers on the lottery , have been doing lotto plus five a quarter of a mill would do six numbers or five numbers two stars to get out of the rat race once and for all please , there is quite a few people i would help out giving the chance to and a lot more i wouldn't

finished work at the hospital got home then went back to another Leeds hospital with Helen who a few weeks earlier had fallen down the cellar steps hurting her shoulder and arm she went on Tuesday and a x-ray was taken showing no broken bones was there nearly three hours before a doctor saw us and told us to go to the supermarket and get some ibuprofen and some deep heat brilliant.

To compensate we went over to the Owl at Rodley and pigged out , as always Helen had the scampi.

WORKED SATURDAY TILL ONE AND WORKED SUNDAY ALSO TILL ONE - Went clothes shopping yesterday and bought two pairs of jeans from Primark , and to be perfectly honest there pretty ok to say one cost £15 and the other £12 can't fault them.bought a decent leather jacket from next and some socks and undies and t-shirts .I do Want some one million Paco Rabanne addicted to it's smell Every time i go in Boot's or Debenhams i spray the tester i will definitely get some next month .

The printer bought this week is great first Kodak printer I have owned and for the price and it's wireless it's proving a very good buy prints on gloss photo paper to a high standard so it well fit for purpose .

Went to the owl at Rodley last night Helen had her usual scampi chips bread and butter and I had slow cooked belly pork with hand cut chips and bubble and squeak with a ice cold pear cider heaven.

Tonight we went to the Lawsnwood inn the food was not that brilliant and not that hot literally. But it was the first time that i have seen my daughter and son both together for well over three years so it was a bit of a reunion seeing we never meet up at Christmas , so the food we put up with just , all the family turned out for Guy's 18th.
Helen's sons Kris and Liam joined us. along with Mark ,Sue,Andrew ,Angela,Anne and Alan Irene and Ged..

Happy birthday Tuesday your officially no longer a teenager big twenty never mind loads of people would love to be your age , me for one.
You've done really well Doing a job you love and living in a house with loving friends your doing fantastic well proud of you .

Both my daughter and son have their birthdays this week one is twenty one is eighteen .
i was thinking back to when i was around their age lager was 39p a pint cigs 55p a packet of 20 and petrol around the same price a gallon .

we had jobs and money to spend life seemed better, jeans where shrink fit which meant sitting a bath of cold water , our music was on cassette tapes sods law it was always your favorite tape that got chewed up , and we watched films on video and took instant photos in black and white with state of the art Polaroid camera no processing fees or waiting to see your latest pictures.Internet was just a dream.

Mobile phones were way off it was 2p in the local phone box to call home.i do wish i was eighteen again but living in my time not in this era , i think most kids have it way harder than it was for us , and the only thing better is the technology the rest as all gone pear shaped , what a pity.

My daughter called round first thing this morning she had been out clubbing and had gone over in her high heels hurt her ankle she called round to borrow a pair of adjustable crutches that she forget to return to casualty , while my daughter was here she had a can of Carlsberg should have been a can of red bull it would have given her wings.she went to A&E in the end she has torn a ligament and will be OK in a few days.

Looking at buying a wifi Kodak inkjet printer with a built in scanner from Currys/Pcworld ONLY £69.99 in the sale was £139 the ink replacement is under twenty pounds.

yesterday was feeling slightly better still got sore throat and still wheezing and sneezing but its improving we had British gas out again to sort out the central heating Helen phoned them at half past nine and they was here before ten what a service British gas home care is the best investment ever anyone who has a old system its worth paying a monthly cover we also have electrics and water included.

Virgin media came yesterday to install broadband have been with virgin before ages ago they are a good isp , installed in just over a hour not sure why forgot password to desktop i had to remember it earlier for the engineer to set the cable direct to the pc the laptops are operating wireless , so downloaded a free programme called "PC log in now" and it removed the password , its a free app and works all you need to do is just write it to disc as an iso file and boot PC with disc in place if boot order is not correct hit f2 then just follow the instructions and it will remove the password so you can just reset a new password or leave your pc password free works on all windows o/s allegedly , all i know is that it worked on mine windows seven which was password locked.

Off to the Dr,s earlier appointment is nine thirty tomorrow morning , seeing that I still feel like , coughing up phlegm now not done that since I stopped smoking nearly five years ago . still feeling achy all over still getting head aches and still not sleeping on a might waking iup coughing and when I do cough am close to throwing up when I do go to my Dr's will ask if I can have the swine flu jab seeing as i work for the NHs .all I have had to eat is soup and a chicken sandwhich and I don't feel hungry which is weird.

Finished work last night called home to pick Helen up the drove over to swilly to pick Guy and Rosie up.Most of the snow what laid earlier had gone.Called to my Nephews stately home mansion Crawshaw towers to show Guy and Rosie round he has had five double glazed windows installed in the west wing and the temperature was warmer than the outside which the in house chinchilla guinea pig and cat appreciated immensely.

Saying that we stopped of at Asda to buy a silent night double size electric blanket and a 15tog king size quilt Rosie's and Guy visited MacDonald's we bought some cherry scones and a freshly made pizza.Was way after half one when I got to bed work tomorrow got chance of another weekends over time .

My son Guy phoned me tonight whilst I was working at job two , he has asked if he and his girlfriend Rosie can stay tomorrow night , we pick him up after I finish work from Rosie,s house .
Our house lacks double glazing and central heating so Helen wants me to get a double electric blanket new duvet and mattress topper , be cheaper booking them in to travel lodge .

Well Christmas is over for another year after today i cant wait for 20011 , think a few people i know will glad to see the back off 2010 as well .

LISTENING TO :- MICHAEL JACKSON NEW ALBUM "MICHAEL"

Car is back in the garage i went to the hairdressers yesterday came out car wouldn't start I had to have it towed in to the garage that i have used for the clutch and turbo hose , at least its pay day , i am hoping its not the fuel pump but will find out later today.
Always something every time i earn extra cash by working weekends then something crops up and i never get to spend the extra cash on myself , it always goes on unexpected events. i have got a decent wage coming at the end of January waiting to see what happens next.

Meet up with my son Guy haven't seen him for ages , he as Relly grown up in the last six to nine months he is as tall as me and has matured more than i thought he would i am really proud of him he has a great girlfriend he loves dearly and spends all his free time with her.I meet Rosie for the first time they look a great couple and have been together a while she makes him and happy and i hope truly loves him and sticks with him i know she is his world .

Guy my son lives with my ex wife at Pocklington other side of York and his girlfriend Rosie live at our old Village Swillington .But saying that they spend days at each other houses , he lives in a converted garage and i call him Fonzie and it goes straight over his head which i would expect.He does NOT work he cant get a job ,THERE not many jobs going where he lives not many jobs going full stop , just jobs going redundancy payments are funding a lot of christmas this year.I do hope in the new year he finds work , he will be eighteen at the end of January and he can sign on what a depressing thought.LEAST ITS SOME CASH IN HIS POCKET .

He should be working ,he wants to work and would love to learn a trade and of cause he wants to buy clothes and gadgets and glossy magazines , wants to look nice smell nice and own nice things hopefully to buy a house have driving lessons and get a car as if insurance petrol is ever going to be affordable and i know he would love travel abroad wouldn't we all .

He wants treat his girlfriend and buy her nice accessories , jewelry meals out and weekends away , yet he cant because he doesn't earn a wage , its so sad for him and all the other young people this country is robbing its young folk out of a living robbing them of their dreams and ambitions i feel so sorry as he needs money at his age he should be setting targets for the rest of his life , shouldn't all young people and its not possible no WORK , he as a scooter which he travels to and from his girlfriends house weather permitting , the A64 is notorious for car users , a young lad on a scooter is a scary thought I hope he is protected from those above and i hope he never has a accident.

This country is on its knees and its getting worse and we the British public let it happen we are lemmings , petrol prices , V.A.T,emigration is constantly rising , apart from EMA which is stopping nice one all you M.PS (WANKERS).

i think its about time we dropped the GREAT from Great Britain and just be called Britain , i reckon in a few years time we will be a third world country,were it's people are freezing to death from having no food and no money to afford having their heating on.
Going to be a new year soon , NEW YEAR WORSE SHIT TO COME....MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL especially to Guy and Tuesday love you both.

Hoping to get a White Christmas have Christmas eve off through till the following Thursday . Will need plenty of pear cider and Irish coffees made with old bushmills .plenty of DVDs to watch hoping to watch all lord of the rings films and Harry potter films too.Need a decent book to read and a couple of magazines , to do some walking and do some photography of places and events.BUt before all thus do some Christmas shopping.wanting my helen to have a great festive season and look forward to 2011.

Last Friday had two teeth out a denture plate made with two teeth on it it was made from an impression i had taken the week before.The teeth were extracted once the plate was made i didn't want to be walking around with a massive gap , anyway it fitted fine but its weird having it in my mouth, especially eating ,talking is ok and getting use to its shinny texture has not been easy.
My mother had full set of dentures when she was in her teens and it must have been a nightmare but she never moaned and coped considerable well bless her hopefully i will do the same.

Saw my Daughter Saturday night she cut my hair after we took her to the Academy Chinese buffet as well as eating from the buffet they have a cook there , she had a squid dish cooked for her , i don't think she liked it.

Finished work at twelve took yesterday due to adverse weather conditions it took me an hour and a half to get home which is usually twenty minutes top We was suppose to go to York opera house last night.I had took the night of work bloody snow we got as far as the Fox and Grapes before turning round a blizzard had started and visibility was a nightmare so we used the car park to turn around and head home via Asda it was not worth risking it bought some muffins , scotch pancakes and crumpets , chicken , pork and lamb .

Today again there is no work due to the snow i phoned up just after seven to a answer phone saying due to adverse weather conditions shut until Friday the 3rd December , as i write this its sunny and bright hehe Moby loves the snow Harvey likes to go out only for a short while.

Helen is getting texts from some weirdo trying to split us up, they are saying she is meeting me on a dinnertime and doing certain things with me , lucky Helen is not biting , but it is upsetting these started the other day and so far she has had around twenty messages saying i work too much that i am having sex that i want out all lies... told Helen i am here AND WITH HER because i want to be if i didn't like stuff OR SITUATIONS WE ARE IN and if i didn't love her , or couldn't cope with life as it is that i would be off.
I have don't it once BEFORE and i walked away from a lot more than what i have now but it never is about material possessions with me its about a life style and being with the person you truly want to be with no matter what , about going to bed and waking up with the person you want

Listening to Kanye West :- My beautiful dark twisted fantasy

Helen phoned me at work she had called the fire brigade Moby had got his head stuck in our cast iron wine rack and she couldn't free him .the fire engine turned up within five minutes siren going lights flashing within minutes he was freed using the jaws of life to cut through the steel, a big thanks to the west Yorkshire fire. Service your help was appreciated big licks from Moby our border collie dog hopefully he has learnt a lesson.

My daughter bought these two pieces of art she is only 19 and these paintings like her are so cool she is a hairdresser working at a great studio near to here home she bought the Michael Jackson one first followed by marilyn what she got earlier this week ,the next piece of art she wants is a tattoo she is old enough and its her choice

Halloween as come and gone so too bonfire night was invited to a bonfire party which was excellent left smelling of burnt wood and fireworks .

For the last seven weeks i have worked every weekend which is what i wanted for ages to get overtime from my hospital job last month was a five weekended i really need the money , who doesn't with Christmas lumming, gas prices going up diesel going up every thing going up and the cost of the car getting repaired its been a struggle making ends meet.

Now i need dental work doing which will be around three hundred pound mark cant wait for this year to end.

Moby is growing every day and he is no longer a little pup he is still playful and still giddy he is going through his terrible two stage at the moment but were not complaining on the hold he is a brilliant dog .

listening to ;- Bon Jovi greatest hits

Today we went out in the car Parked up in town to do some shopping for crystals and incense .Helen finally got some boots she liked. all the shoe shops in Leeds didn't realise it be such a quest.
still had to go to shopping centre at birstall to pick them up last pair in stock had to get to store before it shut at five ,went to pig out at chinese buffet resturant from chicken sweet corn soup to shreded duck and pancakes cheese cake and ice cream, what diet.

Got a call this morning from the garagewhere the car is booked in and getting fixed. The mechanic has took out the gear box and the clutch fly wheel is totalled, because of this it will add another £400 on to the final price now i am looking at £879 in total ... OUCH its the cost of a mac air laptop, a two week holiday somewhere hot plasma tv with games console ,a decent chritmas , i have even bought and owned cars in the past that didn't cost that much,oh the joys of motoring .Its good job we both think shes worth it.

Listening to Nickleback :- Silver side up

Woke up this morning ready to put battery back in to car banging headache and no hot water boiler packed in again pay British gas a service charge every month they come out and fix it free of charge .

Replaced battery car didn't fire up with the car already in gear, out of gear it started then once the engine was ticking over i couldn't select any gears typical it was solid couldn't even force it in to 2ND gear reverse or first i phoned the garage that they would have to tow it in , eventually after leaving the engine running and trying to recode the radio i eventually got it in gear and manage to drive it the half mile to the garage its booked in to for repairs , the master cylinder has collapsed its going to be £350 to fix it i was expecting around £600 so iam happy its a lot less.

Gas repair man came out and fixed boiler that's one bill i don't have to pay for hot water and radiators back on .

Also phoned PC world then Dell to sort out a new power lead for the laptop, the other one packed in moby chewed it but they didn't know that should receive it the post tomorrow another thing fixed.

last night i didn't get home until quarter to seven even though i left at work at four went to Boot,s and to poundworld then the rest of the time i was on the bus stuck in a gridlock listening to Nickleback on my i-phone .

Off working nights this week so it straight home at four o clock , four weeks of catching public transport ie , the bus, the car is finally going in to get fixed tomorrow .

I have had to take the battery out and put it on charge hopefully it will fire up in the morning and at least get me to the garage still no idea of cost expecting to be in the region of £600, will have to wait and see when i started xatching the bus i was paying £1.15p a litre of diseil its now £1.21 ouch... do i really want my motor fixing ,rip of britain lucky us... feel like getting in my car and fcuking off but wouldnt get far enough on a tank of fuel.

worked until one got home and we took Moby out for his first walk he was scared of the cars and refused to walk on , we only made a few hundred yards before i went back to the house for his rubber ball, i bounced it and he followed did about five hundred yards then it started to rain and still he was afraid of the passing traffic we picked him up to carry him his ears was back and he was fretful so we headed home.
we went to the local pet shop bought a retractable 25 foot lead and a harness , once it was dark went to the local cemetery about a quarter of a mile away Helen's grandma is buried there , he was fine although it was dark we navigated the path and graves said jokingly to Helen hes found a bone when in fact it was a twig , he wasn't spooked by his surroundings and he was 100% better than he was in the afternoon as we headed home it started to rain again .

Taken the day off work i have to go to the hospital with Helen, she is finally going to see a specialist,at the neurology department to see whats going on , its been a longtime coming hopefully nothing will be a miss ,I spend most days at the same Hospital cleaning last weekend i was on theatres last night x-ray plaster room anti natal. i am now covering a wider area of the hospital and have moved out of my regular cleaning duties ,the time i am there goes a lot faster now and i am preferring it to what i worked on the last few years cleaning the creche which was always sand and paint and pva glue and rock solid weetabix spillages which was left over from breakfast and sets like concrete, they could repair the rest of the Hospital with that stuff , also i am meeting more people and getting more overtime which will help towards the repair bill for the car .
Helen chipped one of her tooth last night at the moment she is more concerned over that , seeing that she hates dentists and has a deep phobia over drills and pain and deep root treatments don't we all.
Moby has learnt to give high five when asked counting down the days to when we can pick his lead up and shout walks i know it will be all weathers come rain or shine wind hail and snow put we are both looking forward to it and it will give Helen the confidence to get out more during the day whilst i am at work.
