LATE SHIFTS
I have been working late and not really sleeping much i go to bed at three and get up at ten but usually wake up at around six am go to toilet get frozen before getting back in to bed i am wide awake again and its more or less light now at that time.
Helen is going to her parents 50th wedding anniversary today , another farce she left him years ago the man she left him for died a year later so he took her back , but its never been right since , they live together but its a great big act.She resents the fact she had to go back she had no where else to go no money so she trotted back home , him like a idiot took her back.
Cant wait for payday as its been a five week month , i hate five week months with a passion at least Aprils is only a four week.
New shopping mall precinct is opening up in Leeds city centre called Trinity , and Leeds will be getting its own Apple store at long last , some other decent shops are also opening Bose and Superdry mega store along with Starbuck's always a Starbuck's

ANOTHER ONE DONE
I survived today in the cooler and it was ok cold but ok and at least it didn't drag , as i only had around five hours sleep last night and i did not want to swing my legs out of bed this morning one little bit and i was not ready to be in a vertical position for at least another four hours , but i had little choice and got up once your up you cope had a coffee and within ten minutes i was on my way.
Last night we had chicken legs done in ho sin sauce with fried rice with peppers and peas and crinkly cut chips it was one of the nicest meals we have cooked in recent times , next time will get some more chicken and i might get some jalapenos and mushrooms along with noodles , need to visit the Chinese markets in the city and get some prawn crackers and more authentic sauces and mixes works out cheaper than the English supermarkets and its what the restaurants and take ways more than likely get their supplies from , might also go to the English market and price up chicken should be fresher and cheaper than the supermarkets
Bought a two litre bottle of pear cider which by time the meal was cooked and served was well chilled , just what you need after spending the weekend in a giant freezer cold room surrounded by frozen food .
Tonight we roasted a leg of pork and had some veggies roasted and new potatoes also roasted in the oven it was another nicely cooked dinner i was thinking about it all day the image of warm cooked food with hot home made gravy and a nice chilled glass of pear cider.
I live a very plain and simple life that i live , it always makes me wonder what the bigger picture is ,and then i think well perhaps this is it , depressing i know , if it was not for music the reading a decent book or watching a film i be totally depressed long live the internet .
Our weather is depressing again which makes me wonder if we are going to get anywhere near a decent summer ever again , as each year seems to be worse than the previous year a bit like life my summer or salad days where all my twenties least i had a good decade i think sometimes you have to look back and remember them days then and then reflect on now and these days , suppose i should be grateful as you don't always see the wood for the trees.
well five days working twelve hour days from 14.00 to 02,00 i am thankful for the overtime , i have even told the person in charge i have been working for this weekend to consider me for any another weekends if they are under staffed she can email me and i will consider it if , i am not working till two in the morning as by rights you are supposed to have at least a full eleven hour break between shifts.
Well another day another dollar

PACKAGE FROM HOLLAND
Worked today and tomorrow in the cold storage where all the food is loaded in to thermal containers that keep the food frozen up to four hours , they are then sent to the patients in most of the hospitals in Leeds ,It's one giant cooler , and my hours are half seven in the morning until half past two in the afternoon , i have been issued with thermal gloves ,a fleece and over trousers that are half decent and black and very similar to combat trousers so no real chance of getting frost bite , and i might even get to keep them , all the food is frozen solid and of course must not be allowed to defrost on their journey.
After this i have seven days working two until two , twelve hour shifts starting Monday then three normal shifts then i have another five twelve hours shifts to do , i am not complaining as i need the money.
Helen did two readings yesterday as three tonight and two tomorrow so the struggle is not all up hill and does seem to be breathing spaces we could do with more .
Yesterday my Nexus returned from Asus in Holland it was my original tablet but it had a new screen fitted and is working fine , i am happy it was only a few months old anyway i have been busy setting it back up even though most of it was restored through my Google account there is still a lot of messing around to do to get it as it was before i think it is 95% as it was, so i am a happy.

LAST FEW DAYS
SUNDAY
If i don't need to replace the Nexus looking at a Samsung wi-fi camera wb150f in black 14,2 mega pixels and 18x optical zoom coming in at £119 reduced from £179 its good looking and fit for my needs hopefully next payday at the end of the month.
Back at work Monday shite as it is least it will make pay day come quicker should get a rise April and i should go through my first gateway which means a pay increase also double whammy , six gateways to go through before i am on full pay which one a year takes six years i argued what kind of apprenticeship last six years before you go on full money ,six years for someone my age it's a joke it's just a way to stop paying you full money.
Its been boring day the viewer we had to see the house ,they never came round and let us down without a phone call to let us know ,its typical some people are wankers .
Helen had two people booked for readings they did not show either which is going to make life difficult our budget is tight and two people not showing up effects our spends on food gas and electric , the next couple of days are going to be colder,its always the same when we rely on someone saying they will do what they agreed to do you always get let down suppose that's life and not having a regular nine to five job.
MONDAY
Went back to work i was full of cold my eyes and nose were in competition to see which could run the fastest my head was pounding and the lights and computer screen was not helping i was suppose to be working until two in the morning i did my shift until ten at night then i bowed out and went home .
Helen had two of my work colleagues round for a reading i wont see them until wednesday i cant see me going to work tomorrow .
TUESDAY
Woke up at half seven my lips and nose were hurting and i felt i had been in a boxing match and lost badly , i phoned in sick for the day i have not had one sick day , since i took the job over a year ago , people who had seen me the previous day would not have been surprised , my nose and eyes are a lot better hopefully i will be back at work tomorrow.

DREAMING AGAIN
Need food , then a bath then naughty time then sleep , still not getting to bed until after two in the morning just cant do it ,should be easy just walk up the stairs to bed yet we don't do it. today has been getting colder and its getting colder by the hour now that it is night the temperature has dropped and they are forecasting snow for Sunday ,bring it on it never last long so why moan about it.
I have Dido's new album i liked Dido from years back and like her new effort it is as good as her previous stuff if not better she must be down to her last million , it must be great being a writer or recording artist if your skint or want another new house , apartment or new yacht just knock out another book or record and wait for the money to roll in.
The house below Helen is drooling after is just two bedrooms over three floors with a side extension would be perfect for the two of us and the pets .
The aqueduct below used to move water across the valley it can also be used for trains then it would be a viaduct but i think this is just water not 100% sure , but would be ideal to see the changing seasons and it would be great to walk the dog or get a couple of mountain bikes.
Helen is designing every room in a house she would by if we had the money the only way to get it is buy a winning lottery ticket as its £350,000 and i have to admit it's gorgeous it is over looking a stone built viaduct she wants to go see it in real life its up at Uppermill Saddleworth .
This room is more than likely bigger than it looks nice to see a open fire cant beat a real fire blazing away Pip would be constantly sat in front of it,
Need a hit album or a book in the the top spot seeing as i cant sing or write the chance of owning this is slim but you never know never say never and if you dream hard enough one day we might have a similar house even if we rent or lease it rather than buy or own it , Its Helen's dream and she is happy looking and imagining us living the and decorating it and how slim it is i wont and don't knock any ones dream we have all the right to dream.

The conservatory is done in stone to match the house and is a good size not sure if it has under floor heating
it is not a massive bathroom but i like the exposed stone work.

MADE ONE TOO
Helen went back to Staples they had sent her a five pound money off voucher via her email it was like a flame to a moth she printed it off and the ink was hardly dry before we was in the car, this time she bought a brown A4 to go with the brown A5 she bought Wednesday , it was like deja vu versus ground hog day.she bought the paper dividers and other bits and pieces that she bought for the first edition rate its going we are going to have to buy another book case.
I printed out a load of images and logos and scanned them into the pc i then printed them out and laminated on to some card end result a usable lined A4 book i can add pages do a diary insert its very expandable , don't worry this is not my new hobby although it always nice to design something and have something unique , cant buy shit like this in the shops ..
have enough stuff to do a A5 and a note book will do different collage christ its so addictive being creative LOL.
We have another person coming to view our house tomorrow at eleven well today because it's eight minutes past midnight.

MY NEW HOBBY
We are going to try and get out of the habit of going to bed after two in the morning its getting so we don't even contemplate bed before this time sometime specially on the weekend it can be as ate as four o clock its a poor way to live it throws your sleeping pattern and body clock totally out of sync .
still considering looking for a hobby cant do fishing its not me cant restore cars no tools or i would have the first incline what to do as i am not mechanical minded , Helen mentioned bird spotting yes maybe if its done at a strip club.
Guess photography would be good the trouble is unless you live somewhere like the Grand canyon , Angkor Wat and you have scenery worth taking photos of what's the point , and there is nothing that great to photograph on my doorstep .
Painting unless your artistic and not autistic then what i create will look like a chimp on LSD as picked a brush up and had a go , and then again painting is ok if you sell them and recuperate the cost of the materials cant see anyone wanting my art for their walls.
So what else train spotting no chance stamp collecting no chance unless its stamps in a passport then collecting anything is a no .
Model making no lets face it's for kids i did it years ago when i was a kid thought it was boring then . and its not like they do anything but sit there.
So a games console it is then don't matter what the weather is doing you can fit it in as and when you feel the urge they will be always new games and series to collect like Gears of War , Assassins Creed and Resident Evil plus the new Tomb Raider is out what great timing.wireless controller and surround sound vibrating chair sounds good already.
And it just so happens we have a PS3 in the living room as i type this , my new hobby to save Lara Croft once again its the first game i played on the PS1 that and Crash Bandicoot happy memories buying the magazines for the walk troughs and the cheat codes and so there it is my new hobby , and there's me thinking of going to bed before midnight not going to happen is it .Also there is a great second hand market for games does not have to cost a fortune anymore even consoles are cheap enough second hand , Who knows Next month i might be James Bond or Batman.

JUST ROLLIN
Since i have been off work the nights and mornings have been really foggy and its been cold its not been the hottest week to have off but then again you are not necessarily guaranteed sun and warmth in the summer.
Spoke to my Daughter last night well last night it was at one o clock this morning , she was telling me that it will take her thirty hours to get home stopping of at Melbourne , and Dubai before landing at Manchester she is flying with United Emirates , i told her she will regret coming home she and she would have a much better life staying where she is now.

ROUND IN CIRCLES
So cold just out of bed feed all our animals Harvey ,Pip and Button , just made helen her first cup of tea she still having two tea bags to one cup and its a normal size cup and i had my first coffee was looking at proper coffee machines yesterday , the are as many different one has they are laptops to choose from ,i liked the one that actually ground the beans as well as brewed the coffee and it was the price of a laptop and fridge freezers that where dearer than a laptop £1899 be pointless we never fill it don't think we would use more than half the shelves.Helen saw a nice matching toaster and kettle in electric blue £80 for both and a microwave for £160.
Went to Staples office supply Helen bought a Arc A5 ring binder in brown leather extra rings so you make the book contain more pages plus a punch for making her own inserts that was nearly half the cost of the bill , plus she bought some dividers and two clear plastic wallets it cost over £45 pounds and that was with 30% discount on some of the items , when we got home i printed out a week to view diary for her from a free online template and we ended up cutting A4 paper in half to make A5 paper i never knew A5 was half size of A4 , we must have used a full black in cartridge we bought yesterday from PCWorld , it would have been easier and a lot less work getting a Filofax which if i remembered correctly she just bought a few weeks ago for around £45 that was also from fcuking Staples it would been cheaper getting a fcuking I- pad mini which also staple happen to sell i mean why reinvent the fcuking wheel .

Helen has her readings still going strong and she is getting more in depth then what she was a year ago,she had two last night and two on Friday night and one on Saturday night and she is booked up this coming week which is good as we need gas money for the house and motor .
We had a couple of good days of weather but now its cold again , we need some nice food could eat a proper Sunday roast all trimmings Yorkshires and gravy .Have not bought any wraps for a while need to get some lamb shish kebab red onions and jalapenos with yogurt sauce.
no news on the Nexus all i know is it was picked up Thursday guess i should hear something next week thought i might have had a email i have a tracker number but it don't seem to be working ,guess no news.
Did some food shopping bought some hand made pork pies some rye bread and fresh bread cakes and some Potatoes so we can have jacket spuds we also bought all the ingredients for breakfast including potato rottis and essentials like milk and sugar tooth paste and toilet rolls , we also bought Pip our Jack Russell a new ball and a couple of pig ears.

THE WHEEL
Watched Django Unchained it was one of the better films i have seen although its was brutal in parts it was worth seeing , I specially liked the 100 black coffins song featured in the film sung by Rick Ross.
We got up quite early we was meeting my two sisters and their partners to go on to the Leeds eye . I think its location could have been better as it was at the bottom of the city rather than the middle which would have given you a better 360 degree view , i think it was just under 50 meters in height and we completed three turns , it was ok Helen did not like it she does not like Leeds city center and was not impressed by the views which was the roof tops of Leeds when all said and done.It is here in the centre until April
The windows could have done with cleaning some of the pictures i took are smeared they should have done open air pods least you would get a better picture.
After we went for breakfast to a old pub near to the Parish church on the way we saw a coach offering fares to London for £1.50 just one way , Breakfast was good no complaints after we went to another of the city's oldest buildings the Corn Exchange , now its shops and cafes it used to be extremely busy the rents are quite high and a few of the shops vacant.
Below the Palace pub food is very good and reasonable priced two breakfast including drinks £10.00 not as good value as our normal haunt the 11th earl but it was nicely prepared and decent size portions i could have done with more toast and a few more beans.
A skeleton outside one of the shopping the Corn exchange this is a tattoo and piercing parlour not sure how good the tats are they are quite a few new tattoo places in Leeds compared to a few years ago'
The interior of the Corn exchange this building as a domed roof and it used to be heaving with shoppers now there is a few on a weekend but less through out the week it is slowly improving and more shops have opened , its now owned by a major bank , they put the rents up sky high and a lot of the shops folded , but now i think its what ever deal you can get yourself at the time which determines what rent you end up paying.
We called in at the Sony shop they had a 82" hd tv it was gorgeous and the picture quality unbelievable , it was so clear , so i jokingly i said to the salesman i would take two , he told me the price of one it was priced at £25.000 , Christ unbelievable my first house i lived in cost only £10.000 it was many years ago and the same small terrace house now is around £75,000 the price of three tv's give it a few years they will be a few thousand at most , need to be a lottery winner , football player or film or rock star,

Below the Palace pub food is very good and reasonable priced two breakfast including drinks £10.00 not as good value as our normal haunt the 11th earl but it was nicely prepared and decent size portions i could have done with more toast and a few more beans.
A skeleton outside one of the shopping the Corn exchange this is a tattoo and piercing parlour not sure how good the tats are they are quite a few new tattoo places in Leeds compared to a few years ago'
The interior of the Corn exchange this building as a domed roof and it used to be heaving with shoppers now there is a few on a weekend but less through out the week it is slowly improving and more shops have opened , its now owned by a major bank , they put the rents up sky high and a lot of the shops folded , but now i think its what ever deal you can get yourself at the time which determines what rent you end up paying.
We called in at the Sony shop they had a 82" hd tv it was gorgeous and the picture quality unbelievable , it was so clear , so i jokingly i said to the salesman i would take two , he told me the price of one it was priced at £25.000 , Christ unbelievable my first house i lived in cost only £10.000 it was many years ago and the same small terrace house now is around £75,000 the price of three tv's give it a few years they will be a few thousand at most , need to be a lottery winner , football player or film or rock star,

I WISH
well two days work nine days off , trouble is its twice or three times harder going back after a break but i am not loosing holidays.
Arguing with Helen how crap life is and how we need to get away go to sunnier shores , jet of and island hop around the Greek isles with just travellers cheques and a rucksack , who knows if the house sells we might just book it pack it and wing it to some Greek shoreline or another destination further a field , we have another viewing Saturday just need one to say yes
will have finished paying my court order for none payment of council tax the last payment £145 is in March then its back to normal payment if i decide to pay it as normal people , do after ten months you get two free payment months its never happened its hard being on a budget.Least we will be spending less on gas for heating the house , its been sunny today and yesterday and the temperature warm if not hot another few weeks and it might improve even further.
My daughter is back home on the 27th March landing in Manchester at twenty past eleven in the morning , she wants to go to college to do her a-levels , then wants to train as a vet who knows she might pull it off i do hope so , i believe life will be harder here for her than if she stayed in New Zealand.she posted some pictures on face book of a cabin she had stayed in not far from the beach it looked gorgeous a proper island retreat , and she flies back to the U.K back to grey miserable Leeds i think she as totally lost the plot .
I could easily live here rest of my life , never mind spend a few weeks on vacation it looks idyllic hot sun with white sand and clear blue sea and greenery to boot , a boat for fishing bet its great sun rise and sun set we don't have great sunrises or sunsets here in Leeds it just gets bloody dark then light again absolutely no wow factor what so ever. i like the cabin just sitting on the veranda looking at the night sky , with a barbecue fired up and a large glass of iced pear cider , whilst reading a book it truly would be pure bliss.I wish .
i am writing this its half past eight i have the collection booked for my Nexus starting at nine its sunny again today just have had coffee number one , i need to check the lottery tickets who knows that holiday destination might be closer than we think or retirement closer be great to spend the last twenty years or so traveling the globe , camera , laptop and credit card and perhaps sun tan lotion , after sun and mosquito repellent and a hat and shades and a bottle of water a moleskin and pen that be so much fun.perhaps i should buy a bag and put all them things in apart from laptop and camera and leave it by the front door ready , like tempting fate , lol i wonder.

SO GOOD
Well the Asus Nexus is wrapped up ready for collection tomorrow between 09.00 am and 16.00 pm of course i will be up early just in case like you do.
Below is Billy Ray Harris the homeless man who's no longer without a home so Good be a film before you know it .Restores your faith in the world.
Been reading about the American homeless person who received a diamond ring in his collection when a lady emptied her coin purse in to his cup , she had taken her ring off and forgot , when she realised what had happened she went back the homeless guy but he had already left for the day , she went back the following day and the homeless man was once again in his spot under bridge she asked if had found anything valuable in his cup he said he had and handed her the ring , she was so touched she posted the story on line and asked for donations to help the man out for his good gesture hoping to get around a $1000 they received $150,000, the ring was worth $4000 the money was given to homeless guy can now afford to buy himself
a house and get off living on the streets for good , well it cheered me up.

NO LONGER GREAT
MONDAY
Its cold and grey might even snow it was trying yesterday whilst we was in York but it was not laying and ended up more like sleet today feels colder and the skies greyer
Phoned Asus support up got through on the fourth attempt after so long you get disconnected and have to re call , i received a repair number and was given a site address to go to to fill out a form for the item details my contact details to arrange a collection for the Nexus .
The web address given was wrong but eventually i sussed it out when i typed the devices serial number it came back invalid back on the phone to Asus after three attempts i finally got the serial number sorted and sent the form i should hear something back via email within 48 hours.
Never know i might get a free upgrade to a 32gb instead of the 16gb model i have , i like Android and i like the Nexus i still want one and would still recommend one to people shit happens.
TUESDAY
Last night of working until two in the morning last twelve hour shift next week i have the week off so can chill out and relax and catch up with some sleep.
Got a email from Asus i have a Rma number and its backed up packed up ready to go , i am just waiting for a email with a pick up time and date , fingers crossed its supposed to be a seven day turn around.
My daughter lands in Manchester airport on the 27th March at 11.20 am i have offered to pick her up .
She will have been gone just a year she be leaving paradise to come back here grey dull Yorkshire
It was on the local news a group of lads took a dog broke its back legs , then put a rope round its neck and dragged it in to a field , where they tied it to a tree and to set it on fire , makes you fucking sick who wants to live in a shit hole like this with people who are not even half human , i pray what goes around comes back double.I think its about time that we dropped the Great from Great Britain .

DAY IN YORK
Went over to York just after dinner parked up by the river we passed the York eye on the drive in it looked smaller than the one in Leeds town centre but they are mote then likely the same size.
The picture below is the Purple man he is a street mime artist he sits on his bike still until someone checks him out he then moves to prove he is not a statue , i don't know where he lives how he gets to the Shambles in York but he is there most days , what do the neighbour's say when he leaves for work what type of house does he live in what does he do on his days off , how much money does he get donated and how does he work his tax returns out what did he do before this has he ever had a regular nine to five job his he an eccentric millionaire ,
so in a week i have discovered a man with a cat called bob ,and a man who looks after kangaroos , and a man who paints him self purple and sits on a bike and does nothing all day , it be a hard choice to make if i had to swap life's with one of them , like hell it would be in the bush.

BUSTED
Have totalled my Asus nexus 7 the screen is totally washed out i am going to phone Asus up Monday and see if i am covered under the warranty if not i might ask if they would fix it and bill me depending on how much it cost.if i have to buy a new one at least a small consolation is i can get a 32gb one for the same price i bought the original 16gb one.wont be until next month , it was my own fault it is nothing to do with the machine i put it in my back trouser pocket , as i was moving office and before i left i sat at my computer to check something out and i must have somehow bent the screen so it distorted it , but didn't crack it , even though it was in a sturdy wrap around case its totally busted .
I was gutted i have a lot of stuff on there films albums photos games etc etc and i feel lost without it and i feel stupid for not having had more respect for it , glad it was not the top of the range i-pad.
On a better note i got my camera plus my case back , i had pawned it and never went back for it , as it had not been sold i bought it back it did not cost that much more than when i should have bought it back a extra ten quid , that was in December and as i know its history seeing i owned it from new . and the fact i have two 4 gb cards for it and two lots of rechargeable batteries it is was silly not to buy it back especially as it is not the old.
Went to our favorite fish restaurant for dinner we had been in to town Helen bought some new Ugg boots and a leather bag form White Stuff , i nearly bought a bottle of Crystal head vodka it was £48 i was tempted but i didn't , and its still on my list to get , i got a 2.5 litre bottle of pear cider instead least my head wont be suffering in the morning..
Helen did a reading for a lady she didn't realise until she walked in to our house she had been viewing it the night before on line with the estate agents that we have it up with to sell , she thought it was fate spooky told Helen she should have said it was in the cards , the lady is coming back to view it Helen couldnt show her a round as the bedroom was a mess Helen is house proud some of the time , check it out here .http://www.vebra.com/property/805/23793266

ROO & BOB
Have been really tired getting to bed at nearly three am each morning and sleeping for five or six hours is taking its toll.
Have done nothing but work eat and sleep looking forward to Saturday morning two am and i can have a couple of days off , before the next two twelve hour shifts .
I have been watching a documentary on tv Kangaroo Dundee about a man living in the Australian outback near to Alice Springs, he lives in a tin shack in a compound that he built over a two and a half year period and he devotes his he looks after kangaroos who have been either injured or orphaned , he had to dig two and a half mile of trenching , dig out for over four hundred poles and erect steel mesh fencing to protect his herd , he feeds the joeys every four hours throughout the day and night , he works in a supermarket and washes buses for a local bus company to fund his life style , he has no toilet and no running water in his shack , he has devoted the last twenty years caring for these kangaroos and as a result of the documentary has received numerous marriage proposals and donations totalling £13,500 , he is a true hero and the kangaroo's respect love him as much as he loves them.
I have also been reading up on James Bowen he was a ex heroin making money for his next fix busking on the streets of London , he came across a ginger tom cat that had been attacked by either a dog or a urban fox , he adopted it paid the vet bill for the cats treatment , he named the cat Bob up and they are now inseparable , he takes the cat busking in the centre of London with him and with the help of Bob his takings have tripled , he has withdrawn from using heroin and is now clean , he has written a book about his life with Bob and has so far received £30,000 in royalties .
Two people the life's change for ever by being around and caring for animals both on the opposite side of the globe both would agree they life's will never be the same again makes you wonder.

FINGERS CROSSED
SUNDAY
Went for breakfast it was the best meal of the week by far , and i couldn't finish what i had piled up on my plate there was plenty of onion potato gammon and cheese that got eaten , as always none of that got left it really makes the breakfast filling all i need on top is beans and sausage,Its getting a routine now its so cheap we could not cook it ourselves for the price they charge.
Went to the Moors to Uppermill at Saddleworth looked at the estate agents Helen is convinced we can live there , who knows we will have to see what pans out , if we make forty thousand pounds that's around sixty two thousand dollars we would have enough to last us for two to three years , that's depending on the rent we have to pay and the weekly cost of living .
Living expenses obviously there would be food plenty of eggs for egg fried rice and omelet's cheese and onions along with peppers mushroom and chicken and potato's we would have to be a on a limited spend each week and try to stay in budge
,Gas and electric hopefully this would be reduced as we be walking the moors most of the day specially in summer we be out the best part of the day and late in the evening
Would i have a car not sure if i packed my job in then no i wouldn't it be a expense we could not really afford the insurance and tax.
Mobile phone yes we both could not do with out a mobile phone after the contract was up i just get a pay as you go sim,
Internet who really this day and age could do without a Internet access it essential to our way of life as eating yes we would have to be online.
Once the money was gone if we had not secured jobs we would have to claim benefits until we gained employment this would be the last straw but we want to move for a different life to living in the city and its not about possessions its about a less stress full life
And i am sure .people have done lots more with less then what we will be starting out with the biggest decision and scariest i have to make is do i try and carry on working and travel each day or resign from my job and take my chances if i was to continue to work which is the more likely , then yes ,i would need a car but my wage would cover the rent for our cottage or house and the expense of running the car form my monthly wage , i say its a good hours drive to and from work i start at two and finish at ten at night which in summer months would be no hassle the draw back is winter when it snows some of the roads are impassible maybe only for a few days but i would be snowed in.My thoughts are you always make it to work its getting home again or worse still only getting half way home then what.
MONDAY
We was up at eight Helen as an assessment to do if she is successful then she will be called in for a interview if she gets the job she will get a regular monthly salary , and this will result in us both having extra money to spend on the things we want which is always a good thing ,and she will still do her readings either way.
It might mean we see less of each other through the week but we still have friday through to Monday and we can do more with the time we have go to more places on the coast and in the countryside guess it finding a balance what you have to do and what you need to do, so fingers crossed

ROUND IN CIRCLES
My Daughter is coming home after a year away she has only another five weekends left in New Zealand then she flies back to the England , to her home city of Leeds.I hope she some days returns to her travels and her days are not spent on the social without a job living in a crappy house or flat and reminiscing about her year spent abroad , i feel if she comes home she will regret it big time.
I went to work yesterday on my day off i got there at two in the afternoon i was suppose to do a twelve hour shift , at ten o clock a person came to take over who was not suppose to be turning up fcuking typical i made the decision and went home , it cost me my day off and six hours overtime , but saying that i was tired anyway , but was not impressed.At least i got seven and a half hours overtime , and i reckon could have stayed on but didn't see the point in two of us being there.
I was suppose to be working nights for the week on the w/c 18th March found out yesterday it is the 18th of February which is this coming Monday , honestly if i did not need the money i would refuse to do it.
We had another viewing on the house today ,that's two Saturdays running , a lady came with her daughter and son to view it together they seemed impressed and said it was one of the nicer and better houses that they have viewed so fingers crossed all we need is one person to say yes cant be that hard .
Helen has a interview for a full time job on Monday so fingers crossed she will get it , she has not had anyone for a reading for the last few days , now she has two booked in for tonight that have confirmed by text and three turning up tomorrow ,we need these also to turn up hopefully they will and we will have a influx of cash.
below is the observation wheel that travels the country it was in London for the Olympic games , it is currently in Leeds city center its £6.00 for a twelve minute ride , this is being promoted until April its close to where i work i will have to go on it not sure if its Helen's cup of tea it might be the only time that it is here in the city. We missed it when it was at Manchester and also at York we cant really not go when its in our city You can take a V.I.P pod capsule that has tinted windows and you get a bottle of champagne , its only been constructed a few days think i will give it a few weeks just to make sure it stays on it's axis , pivot .some times it feels like i am and my life is going round in circles now it will be.

We had another viewing on the house today ,that's two Saturdays running , a lady came with her daughter and son to view it together they seemed impressed and said it was one of the nicer and better houses that they have viewed so fingers crossed all we need is one person to say yes cant be that hard .
Helen has a interview for a full time job on Monday so fingers crossed she will get it , she has not had anyone for a reading for the last few days , now she has two booked in for tonight that have confirmed by text and three turning up tomorrow ,we need these also to turn up hopefully they will and we will have a influx of cash.
below is the observation wheel that travels the country it was in London for the Olympic games , it is currently in Leeds city center its £6.00 for a twelve minute ride , this is being promoted until April its close to where i work i will have to go on it not sure if its Helen's cup of tea it might be the only time that it is here in the city. We missed it when it was at Manchester and also at York we cant really not go when its in our city You can take a V.I.P pod capsule that has tinted windows and you get a bottle of champagne , its only been constructed a few days think i will give it a few weeks just to make sure it stays on it's axis , pivot .some times it feels like i am and my life is going round in circles now it will be.

UP THE REAR
I am working tomorrow on my day off , i will get seven and a half hours annual leave then thirteen hours at time and a half as i am working form midday Friday, until two o clock Saturday morning ,tiring but worth it .
Someone went in to the back of my car yesterday when i was out in the snow. My towing hook took the full impact of the driver behind me, his plastic bumper or fender is no more. My tow hook got scratched ever so slightly , he was not amused he explained it was a mobility car , i explained that he drove in to me and if it is a mobility car they will fix it , seeing as there was no one injured it was pointless holding the traffic up further , with the snow there was cars wheel spinning and sliding all over and i was at the bottom of a hill , i thought it would be safer to get back in my car and drive off.
Helen fried some haddock fillets she whisked up some batter and the five filets were shallowed fried in the frying pan we had them with hand cut chips , bread and butter , a cheap enough meal that was gorgeous , in the afternoon we had made a simple sponge cake with a butter cream filling fresh baked again gorgeous , Helen had a reading so we topped up on gas and electric.
Living like we do wouldn't suit everyone her son has been staying with us he is seventeen he likes it with us he likes the atmosphere and he likes that we chill and rarely argue with each other that we agree more than we disagree that we smile and laugh more times then we sad or down , i think he thinks we are bohemians when really we are just trying to survive the best we can , next time round i am going to be minimalistic in the true sense of the word .

MORE SNOW
Its snowing again and its coming down pretty fast and its all white once again , if it gets too bad Helen's people she has booked in for readings are going to be staying in doors , if the snow gets deep it put people off travelling or even going out , i am off all week when i go back i am doing five twelve hour shifts and i can take the car bliss happy days.
Be even happier when its warmer sunnier and we don't have to worry about the heating being on .
I dropped Liam Helen's son of at work a few miles away the snow is getting worse the road i have to go done is well busy the snow is going to be a nightmare and increase the traveling time there and back he was going to catch the bus i said we drop him of and pick him up typical good intentions always end up costing me , i should learn to keep my mouth shut.
I am only online due to the fact i am tethering using my i-phone didn't pay the Internet bill cant afford everything , some months if i get a crap wage and its a struggle budgeting and something has to give , next month i have loads of extra overtime in should be my best wage in over a year , the month after should be a reasonable one as well.
I hope the person viewing our house Saturday puts in a offer it be time to sell up move out and move on.

BORING
Another boring day Helen did not get up rill after two this afternoon , might as well be at work cant do anything or buy anything or go anywhere half interesting at the moment its existing rather then living .
Someone has booked a viewing for the house on Saturday please someone buy it least will be out of Bramley not sure where but it wont be in this vicinity ,it want to live near the canal again no less than 500 metres away.
Downloaded all of the Terminator movies and the Matrix trilogy to watch as long as they are in avi format i can load them and play them of my usb drive via my DVD player , other wise any other format i have to convert them if they are mp4 or mvk files i use Pazera free to convert them to avi files , one programme for each file type and it takes around 30 mins , ages ago i use to rip compress and burn films that i hired on DVD format from Blockbusters , but I-Tunes , Netflix, and I Love Films have killed a lot of the trade for the DVD outlet shops , and i have not hired a film in over seven years .
We made pancakes cracked nine eggs put equal amount of milk to flour mix and fry in hot oil in the frying pan . Helen puts vinegar and sugar on hers don't ask me why its weird combination obvious she likes it she says its just like putting lemon and sugar on , i just had Maple syrup on mine , boring me i know,
Did a hour practicing my calligraphy, i reckon i have to practice one word in one style until its second nature if it takes days weeks or months even.

DREAMER
It was snowing last night we only had a few millimeters , now in the afternoon its looks like a summers day the sun is out and its shinning bright.
Helen as a interview for a job if she gets it she will be earning a regular income and life will be easier even if it only lasts until we sell the house , she needs things luxury items Ugg boots , leather bag ,a Pandora bracelet and charms and i need things mainly a laptop and a half decent compact camera plus life would just be a lot easier if there was two regular guaranteed wages coming in at the end of each month.
Helen's youngest son Liam has been living with us for the last eight days , i don't think it will be permanent , it cant be if we are selling the house.
He will at some stage will have to return to Helen's ex husband house or make the decision to live independently ,he works but he does not earn anywhere enough to be totally financial independent , but i guess if him and a couple of good mates had the same notion it could be a possibility , he only works a few days a week for minimum wage as he is only seventeen.
I had a dream last night we was living near mountains with green hills and valleys in a small village somewhere in a place i did not recognise but it was idyllic , loads of work friends had come over to visit us and check out our home we were all sat out drinking and chatting and they all was jealous of our life style , we were not rich as i went to the off licence with a load of pound coins to buy beer i had the expression it was the last of our money but regardless we were very happy and they was feed up that they lived in the city,sometimes dreams seem so real its a shame to leave them .
I have not had a omelet for a few days now and i am hungry , i need food in a hurry its just after one in the afternoon i was up at half past nine and so far have just had three cups of coffee i keep having visions of my omelet cooking in the frying pan guess i need to make this a reality before my stomach thinks my throat's been cut.

R.E.M & R.I.P
Saturday
Mr Zeek called round to view the house with his girlfriend they where only about mid twenties and looked very impressed with the house whether this will translate in to them buying our we will have to see.He was already planing on taking a wall out to have one massive room.
So could he be the one that connects the dots and makes us sell up move on and start again it will happen , but the question is when.
Went to look at Laptops in the White Rose shopping center in Leeds , Asus is also looking a good buy and its cheaper than the Samsung , the processor is not as good spec as the Samsung and not much more than a pair of Ugg boots Helen was looking at.
Sunday
very lazy did not get up until twelve plan on doing nothing , its forecast to snow don't think it will three foot if it is England will come to a halt.
Well off all next week might have to work the Friday but will get paid 7,5 hours holiday pay because i am on annual leave and another 13 hours at time and a half , i am working twelve o clock midday until 2 o clock the following Saturday morning , this happens with another two days i have off annual leave , that's nearly two weeks wages for working three days cant refuse plus free parking its a no brainer.
Chatting with my daughter via Facebook will skype her on Tuesday morning.
Watching David Attenborough's Africa got all six episodes to watch we both like natural history might make the house feel warmer while we watch it.
Craving - New Laptop.
Wanting - Pear cider ,as its been while.
Needing - a fix of chocolate fudge cake and pouring cream.
Listening to - R.e.m - "Around The Sun" and "Collapse Into Now" and "Greatest Hits"
Finishing - Reading Chris Kyle "American Sniper " (You have done the world a great service , we all owe you more than words can say , R.I.P Forever)

BACK TO WORK ONCE MORE
We did not go to bed until four in the morning playing stupid online games via facebook , we still got up at half past eight to go for breakfast at 11TH Earl we totally pigged out i more than Helen ,i had three sausages four rashers of bacon loads of baked beans and gammon and potatoes with onion and cheese , by not having a drink of coffee it was way too weak last time it was like dishwater , its pre-made in a peculator by not having a hot drink it saved me £2.00 so breakfast for me was only £3.99 .on the way home we went to buy milk and biscuits double packet of Nice and two packets of malted milk , we then we went home and went back to bed we got up just after three in the afternoon it was a waste of a day off really we should be more disciplined and go to bed at a reasonable hour the trouble was we were not tired .
Helen has a reading booked in for six tonight , and all i plan on doing is having a hot bath having tea then maybe just go to be for a early night , if that's at tall possible .
I had a pear today and a tangerine the other day i have not had a pear for ages i use to eat a kiwi every day i should eat more fruit roll on summer will get loads of fresh fruit in winter all you want is stem , pies and curries .
Work tomorrow going back after a break does not phase me , i have only to work another five days then i have another nine days of sometimes work breaks the monotony of life and gives purpose and reason . being of work is ok if you can go places and spend money , eat out go for drinks and go shopping for goodies , like a speaker for my i-phone and Google that i can carry in my bag for work , a Leatherman knife , A Lamy safari fountain pen , a new Moleskin note book , a Diary and a Filofax , i need a new silver chain i broke the one i wore for the last five years , not sure why but i fancy a small silver skull ring Keith Richards and Mr Johnny Depp wear them ,
In 1978 the celebrated London goldsmiths David Courts and Bill Hackett were working on a small scale silver sculpture of a human skeleton. Using a real skull for reference they carved a perfect miniature replica which they then moulded. When the hollow wax skull was removed from its mould the inspiration for the ring was born. Further experimentation led to the creation of the original silver skull ring. At the same time an invitation arrived from Keith Richards to his birthday party in New York – so Bill and David decided that the new ring would make a fantastic present. From the moment he put it on his finger, the magic began and he has worn it ever since
20:15
Not had anything to eat since breakfast i am not starving but think i need to ea some food before i go to bed .
21.05
cooked another omelet its easy i like them they are quick tasty filling and i have all the ingredients and its only cooking using one ring and one pan , i have also on the plus side a bottle of Budweiser not as good as a bottle of pear but at least its alcoholic beverage could be colder .
21.21
Helen is now cooking a omelet , monkey see monkey do , or rather monkey smells monkey wants food i did offer she don't trust me she thinks she the better cook.
Listening to The Weeknd "Echoes of Silence"and "House of Balloon's"

IN THE PIC
its after midnight so i guess its the start of the weekend Helen is playing bejeweled blitz on facebook after playing candy crush and the dog is amusing itself its playing with a rubber hoop and tennis ball she holds the hoop in her mouth and flicks the tennis ball all over the room she will bring it to me and i will kick it she will play this for hours.
I have just cooked a omelette with mixed peppers, onion, ham, and red Leicester cheese only takes around ten minutes to prepare and cook but less time to eat it , i just had it on its own no chips this is me being healthy Helen did not want one but did comment on how nice it smelled whilst it was cooking ,i checked the Euro lottery all we got was one star pathetic just have to keep on trying , i guess if we deserve a win we will get one ,one day or maybe never a small win would be appreciated .

Today we went to the cobblers in Pudsey they are a dying breed Helen bought some boots and they are too tight they where reduced by £150 she got them a few weeks ago from All Saints there is a spray that stretches the leather you spray inside the boot and wear the boot or shoe for ten minutes and it will stretch the leather the spray was £3 , to put them on his mechanical stretcher cost £5 we paid for both . we will pick them up Monday hopefully they will fit.
Rest of the day crap was gone before it started Helen did not get up until around twelve she had a reading tonight i have seven psychopath's to watch to try and start reading a John Lennon biography and listen to Jake Bugg a English guitar song writer who went on tour as support for Oasis another great English band from Manchester.
19:15
I have not practised any calligraphy today i did last night one thing i have noticed its easy to miss letters out of words , if its some fancy script i am using your eyes don't always pick up on misspellings , if you could see how many errors spell checker finds on here guess its no big surprise .
21.00
Just went to the shop bought gas and electric its bitter cold outside although at one stage today it was sunny and quite warm , didn't last next week its supposed to get even colder. we have decided to go for breakfast tomorrow and totally pig out i am going to make sure i eat enough that will last me till early evening hopefully it will be relatively empty last time i went i took sausages home for Pip.
22.00
just made a coffee going to watch a film not that tired but we might go to bed before one am tonight this morning whatever time it will be warmer in bed .
A photography friend took the picture today at Whitby , a fishing village on Yorkshire's east coast , somewhere we have been to a few times over the years and will go to again soon , as there is a great fish restaurant there called the Magpie .
Download the picture below and zoom in and see the ghostly apparition , the back streets are hundreds of years old.
Bram Stoker stayed Whitby in 1890 and discovered the name Dracula , Lewis Carroll and Charles Dickens also stayed in the fishing village and a monastery was founded in ad 657 ,one of the very first photographers also lived in Whitby he was the iconic photographer Frank Meadow Sutcliffe who recoded life in the fishing port he also did portraits and recorded pictures of the churches and Abbeys on Yorkshire coastline through his camera , using 15 inch by 12 inch glass pane he died at the age of 87 in 1941 ,if your interested in the history of photography you will know all about this great gentleman.

WRITING THIS AND THAT
THURSDAY
The postman left a card telling me to pick up my package from collection office why don't you just knock on the Fcuking door and i will open it and take my package from you retard, guessing it is my power lead for laptop as the office shuts at midday i will have to go in the morning and collect it.
12.30p.m
We both went to Louise's Hair salon our good friend for a hair cut Helen has her hair dyed blonde , so i go first it takes all of five minutes then i leave , then i will return to pick Helen up in a few hours so it is chill out time.
I saw my camera in cash converters i know its mine i can pay a deposit and buy it back when i get paid next or do i leave it and get a totally new camera will sleep on it it works out cheaper than getting a new camera .
Been practicing my calligraphy writing set i have to draw it out in pencil first its too hard to do it all free hand and to get it right first time , but it is improving gradually i am using Vivaldi font which i have on office 2007 Old English is hard i have done a few letters i really want to learn Black Letter but a step at a time , i am watching a book on Ebay its Calligraphy for Dummies should be more than suitable then , i have posted a picture o the lettering this is my first attempt its bad i know but i am not pretending otherwise but hopefully i will get better.Also i have downloaded new fonts which i have installed on Microsoft office 2007
Friday
Last day off then its back to 14.00 p.m to 03.00 a.m shifts only for the first two days my line manager sent me a text message seeing as i can use the car i said yes .
Picked the laptop lead from the collections office £9.99 it works fine but its weird how the main lead fits the lead would be better if it exited the opposite way , saying that it works fine and will more than likely last longer then the laptop its plugged into.
I dropped Helen off at her mates house it her birthday and i charged her £1.00 so i could buy a Mars bar on the way home will cost her a lot more if she wants picking up which she will do , a hideous chuckle to myself .
17.25
Helen is cooking tea we are having Turkey dinosaur's cheesy chips and peas we are grown ups if nothing else followed by sponge and custard we have better food to eat but we are eating this by choice.
19.30
Went to the shop did the Euro Lottery bought some washing up liquid as we did not have one clean knife left and we were on the verge of running out of tea spoons so it was either by plastic or do the dishes .
Helen looking at Pandora bracelets and charms , she is creating her own using a online app she as just totaled it up and it is currently at £1500 thats only sixty readings thats two a day for a month.

Been practicing my calligraphy writing set i have to draw it out in pencil first its too hard to do it all free hand and to get it right first time , but it is improving gradually i am using Vivaldi font which i have on office 2007 Old English is hard i have done a few letters i really want to learn Black Letter but a step at a time , i am watching a book on Ebay its Calligraphy for Dummies should be more than suitable then , i have posted a picture o the lettering this is my first attempt its bad i know but i am not pretending otherwise but hopefully i will get better.Also i have downloaded new fonts which i have installed on Microsoft office 2007
Friday
Last day off then its back to 14.00 p.m to 03.00 a.m shifts only for the first two days my line manager sent me a text message seeing as i can use the car i said yes .
Picked the laptop lead from the collections office £9.99 it works fine but its weird how the main lead fits the lead would be better if it exited the opposite way , saying that it works fine and will more than likely last longer then the laptop its plugged into.
I dropped Helen off at her mates house it her birthday and i charged her £1.00 so i could buy a Mars bar on the way home will cost her a lot more if she wants picking up which she will do , a hideous chuckle to myself .
17.25
Helen is cooking tea we are having Turkey dinosaur's cheesy chips and peas we are grown ups if nothing else followed by sponge and custard we have better food to eat but we are eating this by choice.
19.30
Went to the shop did the Euro Lottery bought some washing up liquid as we did not have one clean knife left and we were on the verge of running out of tea spoons so it was either by plastic or do the dishes .
Helen looking at Pandora bracelets and charms , she is creating her own using a online app she as just totaled it up and it is currently at £1500 thats only sixty readings thats two a day for a month.
