X 2

Friday morning 01.55 am my daughter gave birth to my Grandson Jensen he weighed in at 6lb 10 oz and is perfect , my daughter is obviously over the moon and she will without a doubt be a great parent , and of course i am totally  over joyed as well  i have already held him when he was only twelve hours old , new life is totally amazing we forget how great it is , the world really should learn to live in peace regardless but it is unlikely to happen how sad is that .

Saturday morning at 04.45 am Helen's son 's partner also gave birth she had the birth  at home it all happened in the hallway when she was on the way to the toilet , he weighed in at 6lb 20z .The midwife came out and the cord was cut he is also doing fine and as suffered n o ill effects from his early birth , his due date was this coming Monday. 

Both photos were taken via i-phones love or hate technology it certainly as its uses  , with in half an hour both babies photos where on line for all to see , i could not be present at the birth due to the fact my ex wife was there , so for me to see a photo in his first few minutes of life was really appreciated , this was not possible when my daughter was born , makes me wonder what great changes these two little ones will see in their life time hopefully it will all be good ones  .

DUE DATE

My daughter maybe having her baby son tomorrow , Thursday is her due date and she is having the birth at the hospital  that i work at , although not on my wing or block so sometime tomorrow i might be getting a phone call that she is either in labour as given birth or that she is waiting for the birth to begin , either way it is going to be a stressful day .

So very soon i am going to be a Granddad I hope he as a great life and that he is healthy a happy and joyful person ,

Another generation is born and  i wonder what he will see in his life , what world events will occur and if the world will be a better place to live .
I have seen loads of inventions and discoveries , so what happens in his life time will truly be amazing without a doubt .

BACK TO THE GRIND

MONDAY
Fcuking started to snow its my last day off work until March the 11th , decided to go to the supermarket get a few things we need essentially cat litter and toilet rolls as well as food .
I had been driving about fifteen minutes when i realised i had left my wallet at home i felt in my jean pockets as i was driving and it was not there , i did a u-turn to go back home as i pulled up outside our door i looked on the side where i keep my wallet it was not there i put my hand in to my jeans and pulled out the wallet weird .
Jumped back in the car and told Helen i had had it all along she called me a muppet hehe.
Bought some chicken kathi's i have not had any for a while and we also  bought mushrooms  and cheese and chicken pieces in a white wine sauce with  , cheese and onion bakes as well as artichokes which we are going to use for chips instead of potatoes we will over cook them after adding them to a bag with some olive oil and salt just  add them to the bag and shake  .I
 also got a  voucher for 10p  of  for every  litre  of fuel so i filled the car up it cost me 96p a litre , i cant remember it ever being as cheap as that it did drop to £1.04 a litre it is now gradually rising back up so 96p a litre was a good egg.

Back to work tomorrow at least it will be a short week and next week will be shorter still , i should get my increment this month and a pay rise in April hopefully so i will least get more money .

TUESDAY
It is sunny and  it is just before midday i have just been out bought some food from the bakery and butchers , i also  paid the rent £425.
  I will be at work by two and will be home around eleven tonight sometimes i wish i worked normal hours.

WEEKEND PASSED

SATURDAY
Was up again very early and driving to Leeds Helen is in Louise's hair  salon getting her hair re coloured  and nails done she is going to be awhile .i am typing this on to my iPad whilst i am parked up tethering using my i phone .
I have also been shopping bought and i have bought a dozen gel pens and  two tubes of hair gel which where on offer , i stocked up on more  cat food three more boxes to go with the six i have bought already .
Went to a local cafe and got a steak Canadian egg and onions to eat in the car whilst watching "The Town" on my iPad at the moment I am parked up thinking about coffee as i need caffeine might go back to the cafe or take a ride to Starbucks.
Might go by some vanilla syrup and s tube of squirting cream for coffee overload whilst I am home .
Went to White Rose bought fifteen pairs of black socks and had fish and chips and a can of Dr Pepper bliss.
Oven baked some Mexican enchiladas for my the which was rather late.

SUNDAY
Went over to see Helen's son Steve's girlfriend for the first time  , she was a one night stand but  he is  sticking by her and wanting to help her to bring the baby up he has a flat but they are more or less living together in her house . We have not meet her before and she is having her baby more or less the same time my daughter gives birth to her baby in a few days or weeks what small world.
Went to a pub in Carlton the "Unicorn" for Sunday dinner it was ok have had a lot worse ,  on the way home we went on the M62 and exited the turn of for Saddleworth we drove the long way home so we could go over the moors it was very foggy with low cloud cover .
Well it is Monday tomorrow leas ti don't have to go in to work it is my last day off until the 11th of March when i have six days off in a row .

SORRY GEORGE

MONDAY
Boring i hate Mondays and i hate work and i wish i was on a three day a week like it was in the eighties preferably the three days being  Tuesday , Wednesday and Thursdays , that would suit me fine .
I was my boring self for my supper when i got home i went online and cooked chicken chips and chorizo i also banged a wrap in the toast as always it hits the spot , it would have it it better if i had a pear cider over ice.
The cat jumped on the bed again this morning if i remember rightly it was just before six am he gets a bit more friendly each day he is a very loving cat.

THURSDAY
Last day at work four days off i always enjoy the last day at work proves how much i love my job i have another six days off in March then it be the new years allocation i get six week annual leave its nice to have a full card.
My guts are not feeling too good and Helen i said up in bed i wish i had booked today off as well never mind i am sure it will fly by , not.
We are getting our office made bigger they are going to knock through in to two other rooms put a sink and water supply in and new flooring lighting and hopefully get the air con working should be 100% better work make the job any better  , But at least it will make your working environment better .
It is raining again today it i very grey and dull just like i feel , end of March hopefully the weather will get better if not sooner.


FRIDAY
A very long weekend  for me i have no work today and in fact  no work until Tuesday luck me.

George is home and doing ok after going to the vets today for his op , unfortunately we cant say the same for his balls ,sorry George.

After we had dropped George off at the vets just after eight this morning , we drove over to Uppermill for breakfast at the Limekiln  , i have been there before a few times now and it has to be one of the nicest breakfast you can get .Up from the viaduct by the canal makes it for a very nice location .

SNOWING ONCE MORE

Boring day finished working the last twelve hour shift its the weekend and i want to do something but don't know what that something is.
George the cat got on top of the bed this morning instead of being under it he still get nervous but he will let you approach him to cuddle and stroke him , but he is also a scaredy cat and runs off when he feels threatened or apprehensive , but he is getting more settled with us.

SATURDAY
Went for breakfast i had a Canadian sunrise with mushrooms and onions which is thinly sliced steak with two eggs .went food shopping bought some more chicken Swedish meat balls and some pulled pork .Started to snow when we tried to cross the moors so we did a u-turn.

SUNDAY
George once again jumped on to the bed this morning at a most ungodly hour bless his little ginger cotton socks.
We made it across the moors to a shop called Mi Abode bought a vintage hand made lace and cotton bunting well Helen did along with two glass candle sticks and a bunch of candles  , i settled for a steak pie from the local bakery .
Went to Penistone garden centre Helen bought four Yankee Candles in different scents they had some really nice cactus plants i fancy having some scatted around or buying a stone trough and doing a Nevada desert scene  , buy some miniature cow skulls and lizards , scorpions  etc .

Want to buy a external power bank to recharge iPod or iPhone , also want a mac book case.

MORE THEN ENOUGH

really tired i get home and are ready to go to sleep.I cook some chicken make a coffee and go online for a short while before going to bed .Tonight i will read some of my the Skin Collector on my iPad before eating dinner , i have no pear cider which is pissing me off .

Helen is still doing the phone lines and is doing ok she did 140 minutes of calls tonight and has four readings booked in for next week.

We take the cat George to the vets next Friday to be neutered so i have booked the day off work  as well as the following Monday and i honestly can not wait . I will also be back to my regular shift pattern of two till ten yippee ,  i will have done nine twelve hour shifts in twelve days it's more than enough.At least it is all down hill till the weekend .

THREE TO GO

Another twelve hour shift completed it was a bonus day i got a parking spot and as a result did not have to move the car once.

Another three twelve hour shifts to do , i will hopefully have a bumper pay packet in March every penny still counts.

George the cat is coming down more and more i was feeding him chicken last night he was letting me stroke him and approach him on numerous occasions he still disappears under the bed but he is now sitting on the arm of the sofa more and more .He has not tried to jump on the bed during the night , no doubt he will in time .

WEEK JUST GONE

THE WEEK
Last two days  Monday and Tuesday i  have been working twelve hour shifts. I get up at eight leave at half past after downing a coffee to drive to Leeds to start at ten i arrive home just after eleven at night .By which time i just want food and bed .

Wednesday  i just did  my normal hours which  seemed like a breeze at least if i have to move my car it will be only the once , and not like three times like i did yesterday at around went minutes there and back its a hour lost plus its a pain in the arse , things you do to earn money beggars belief.

Whilst i have been at work over the last two days the cat from under the bed as been coming down stairs to see Helen and the dog, so at least he is coming out of his shell a little bit which is great news .
I worked Thursday  twelve hour shift and Friday another twelve hours  tiring as it is its no good moaning you don't earn enough money and refusing to work overtime at time and a half , i will have forty hours in .That's an extra weeks wage .

Pissed Helen off big time  they have asked me to bomb a ward or in technical terms hpv which is hydrogen peroxide vapour this coming Sunday it will take from twelve o clock midday until twelve o clock Sunday night.
How can i refuse it will really boost my wage i never hardly work over and i always need money so i will do it .
Helen is miffed because she is sick of being in the cottage all day on her own i am sorry that's the case but  i have to work dear  .

So basically i am in the dog house for going out and earning us money so we have a better life even if it only makes one  month easier  just get a grip woman.

SATURDAY
Did nothing Valentines did not send or receive a card not that its a big thing unless you look on Facebook and see what everyone else was doing for valentines day it's always a money thing .
I wanted to go sell my iPad but did not .

MILLING AROUND

SATURDAY
A great start to the weekend enough milk for a cuppa each no bread nothing for breakfast guess we are of shopping. Also need toilet rolls and shaving gel cant have a shite or a shave better put the lottery on too.
Bought two jars of my favourite Alta Rica coffee  it was on offer we also bought indian food a joint of beef and a whole fresh chicken amongst other things .
The cat is still under the bed we cant rush him he is being very anti social all we want his for him to be at ease with us. I did manage to get him out for five minutes i then put him back under the bed last thing i want is to freak or stress him out .

SUNDAY
Went to Armley  mill in Leeds it was one of the biggest mills in the world in the 1800's . We went because it was featured on a most haunted episode it took over a hour and a half to do the walk it was ok we did not see anything spooky , getting out is better than lounging about the house i guess .The working conditions in the mill were terrible and the staff  of adults as well as children were treated appalling and could be beaten for even wanting to go to the toilet during work hours.Health and safety policies did not exist until much later , some of the machines could easily rip a arm off.
Cooked a roast beef dinner with sweet potatoes , cut some meat up for George and left it out for him when i checked ten minutes later he had eaten it all.
Working a twelve hour shift tomorrow should be double time on a Monday too the fact its the first day back should warrant paying double my rate.

CAT TO VETS

Still not seen the cat he is still living under the bed , he comes out at night and last night he was sat on our dresser watching us in bed i was a sleep , why he does not come and see us is beyond me , but we have to be patient , in his own time i guess he will feel free at ease with us.

Maybe having a dog scares him but Pip truly loves cats and as never even barked at one , she just wants a friend to play with and snuggle up to.

He is off to the vets his appointment is at five past nine now that's going to be interesting getting him his cage is going to be no mean feat if near darn impossible , we tried the other day twice and  he out smarted us both times i swear he isa ginger ninja.

But perseverance paid off he was on a mat under the bed and low and behold he let us pull the mat out with him on it. He then jumped straight in to his carry case and we got him to the vets on time .
He has now been wormed and had a flea treatment and had his booster jabs. The vet puts him at around nine months old he goes back on the 27th of this month for neutering .hopefully he will be more settled with us and getting hold of him won't be a major drama .

SANCTUARY

The cat George is still playing hide and seek with us we have hardly seen him he eats drinks and uses the litter tray but either when we are out or at sleep on a night he is like a ninja .
We tried to trap him in the dogs cage but he out smarted us he's one clever fast cat , we only wanted to keep him one place for a while so he could get use to us.But he managed his escape and ran back upstairs to his sanctuary under the bed.
Anyway hopefully in time he will settle down and be less nervous around us all we want to do his hug and cuddle him, have him to trust us and not fear us and to realise we will look after him.
Work still hating Mondays it always nice to get it out of the way , i have applied for another post same two ten shift pattern the closing date is this Friday , i am not sure if i will get it i am up against one of the managers sons , and as the saying goes it not what you know but who you know or rather who your dad is.

GEORGE IT IS THEN.

The cat/kitten is going to be called George he hides under the bed and behind the dresser he also hides in the drawer of the tv unit he is hiding all the time at the moment we are letting him be until he finds his feet.

Went over to where my son lives at Skirpenbeck i saw my old Jack Russell Bandit and the cat Lara who is sixteen Bandit had to have a few teeth out at the vets and she looks fine you could see where the vet shaved her paw to administer the sedation for her dental work to be done.

We went ten pin bowling my son won the first game and i won the second the second game was closer he easily won the first , after we went to Toby carvery it was not the best carvery i have ever had we had to go change the first plate we was served as it was cold.

Went to see my pregnant daughter she had her baby shower today she did extremely well she has some very good friends who did very good by her .The baby is due on the 5th of March .
She gave me a blue floral skull t-shirt she bought me for christmas which was a nice surprise .
So all in all a very good day .

On the way home i bought Helen a Ibreathe electronic cigarette kit and the oil can charge it using the iPhone plug i hope it helps her to kick the habit , its the second e-cig i have bought her the first last a day before it went it went in the junk drawer.

CAT WITH NO NAME .

We saw someone offering a ginger tom kitten for sale on Preloved ,  so we said we was interested and drove over to Leeds ,The kitten/cat was suppose to be the same age as Alfie but he is at least three times what was his size and weight was .
We bought him a new bed and feeding bowl collar and litter tray , so far its the cat with no name , until we decide on one ,  i quite like Dawg or Horace , Helen likes George or Garfield , Dawg it is then .

ITS SNOWS CAUSE IT CAN

Phoned in work because of the snow  this morning i was able to walk down the road where i left the car and i managed to clear it of snow and move it to home .

I went shopping and bought milk , eggs  , sausages , bacon and potatoes waffles , mushrooms and baked beans and a loaf of white bread just in case things get worse . I also got Helen two  twenty packs of cigarettes and i also put the lottery on for Friday and Saturday night.

The snow is still coming down and it is now half past five in the evening the orange glow from the street lights shows the pure white snow flakes falling it is quite surreal.

it's just gone 15 minutes pass midnight and it is now snowing once again not looking good for me getting to work another day annual leave i guess .

FRIDAY
It is my son's birthday he is twenty two i hope he has a great day even if it is snowing , it has cleared enough for me to drive to work at least it saves a days holiday for later .

MORE WHITE

TUESDAY
Payday so i paid the council tax people £218 they are like Dracula always after the main artery ,  then i paid the tv licence good old BBC £28  which is a utter rip off DONT WATCH BBC ANYMORE  , then i paid my outstanding mobile phone bill of £98 , i put £35 of petrol in to the tank of the car  which always needs its thirst quenching and i spent another £45 on food shopping . BUT THAT'S NOT THE END as i have still  to fork out £425 for rent  , gas and electric is an other £87 ,  car tax £12 and car insurance £67 , finally water rates £28 along with broadband at £24 its never ending cycle of payments bills and expenditure to keep us and the cottage ticking over .

The lady selling the static home rang Helen today whilst i was at work telling us she had an offer from a couple that viewed the home she did not like them and told them it was sold to us so it looks like we will be the new owners of the house Helen is already making plans for the garden and interior.

I am looking forward to living near to Leeds and work should cut my travelling time by half along with the fuel consumption that i am using now.
We will only have ground rent to pay which is £67 pound a month which means a a saving on rent the money i save on fuel for the car should cover the cost of the ground rent.

WEDNESDAY
Went to work  but i left early due to a down fall of snow. It was gradually getting worse has i was getting nearer to home. Some drivers did not help they were driving way too slow and as a result i was stopping at every traffic light , which adds to the journey time .

As it was I had to park the car on the main road in and out of Holmfirth .I nearly didn't make it i was slipping backwards at one stage along a line of parked up cars i was fortunate not to hit one.
I walked the last few hundred yards to our cottage , i reckon if i did not leave work at the time i did getting home would have been worse.
Whether or weather i go to work tomorrow is very unlikely  .Even getting the car of the main road will be no mean feat.

A UP HILL SLOG

Well was up just after half past eight i had a shower ready for work i am ready but not wanting to go back bad i know . More snow is forecast for the coming days we  need four new tyres on our little black Swift .
I was having dreams that we was  moved in and living in the static home with our own things and the previous owners things amongst us. W e have eight weeks to wait before i can access the cash i have saved in a pension fund.
I hate work the thought of me going back today after ten days of is depressing the life out of me and i don't start till two.
It dragged from the minute I got there , the only saving grace was I did not have to leave to move the car .
On getting home I smelt cooked food Helen had done a home made stew and dumplings in the slow cooker , as well as doing two readings and her phone readings.
It's my daughters birthday tomorrow and my sons on Friday only two years separates them my daughter being the first born.
Hopefully I am meeting my son to on Sunday in York.

BACK TO WORK

SATURDAY
My son Guy came over to the cottage just after half past twelve he drove from Skirpenbeck near Stamford Bridge to our little cottage in Holmfirth and he arrived just after half past twelve.

Hopefully he will know if he has a new job to start on this coming Monday fingers crossed for him.

We walked Pip our Jack Russell and thence drove over to Strines Inn at Strines   about a thirty minute drive away for a drink .
He left just before two in the morning after we had watched  the latest offering from Keanu Reeves in John Wick.

Strines Inn a few days earlier we would most likely not made it as far the narrow winding roads both up and down hill would have made it a no go area .

The peacocks where prancing around in the snow they look more colourful on the white back ground .

SUNDAY
We went to view the static home we meet my sisters there the wanted to see it for themselves , they both seemed to see it through our eyes and realise why we want it for our home .
They agreed it was spacious and better than our current place with a  lot more potential to put our own mark on it , it was more or less agreed we have first refusal , and i genuinely believe the lady selling it Andrea wants us to have it too.
Come April we should be all packed up and moved in to begin a new chapter .

Back to work Monday after ten days off i knew this day was coming does not mean i have to be happy about it,

AT HOME

Had a call from Andrea who's selling her sister's static home  , we are going over on Sunday depending on the weather of course . Hopefully we can sort out some sort of deal so we can buy it as our next home .

I phoned in at work told them i wanted rest of week off as annual  leave i could have gone truth is i could not be arsed .I know Monday will come quickly and i won't want to go back at least i have another three days at home.

Went over to the Trafford shopping mall Manchester Helen bought a 2015 organiser and some address  , reminder and appointment inserts .

On the way home we went over the moors Dovestone reservoir looked picturesque it looks good any season but specially when it is whitened over , we stopped at Compo.s fish restaurant for tea it was just getting dusk.

Watching - "Hector And The Search For Happiness"

SNOW TIME

Whoa its back the white stuff and its laying its already after a few hours quite deep . I  have already phoned to let work know that i won't be turning in. I doubt very much i would get out of the street never mind anywhere even close to work.

I have already been out and took some photos with my iPhone even though it was snowing at the time   it is not that cold or that slippery underfoot , i reckon the snow will stay around for a few days yet.

I am downloading the tv series  "Murder In The First" , the pilot episode is being aired in the U.K in the next few days it looks good it stars Tom Felton who played Draco Malfoy the Harry Potter films , as it as been shown already in the U.S.A  so it is already online.

Helen is doing her phone readings from one till three than from six till ten least she can work when its snowed and not have to worry about travelling or getting back home in the snow.
Because of the snow we have had no post delivered and the bin wagon did not turn up to empty the bins , we are going to walk to the Post Office later to put the lottery on . More photos.

It is just ten minutes past two in the afternoon and it is still snowing at this rate i cant see me going to work for the rest of the week if i don't go tomorrow Thursday i certainly won't be going to work on the Friday.

BOOKS

Manage to borrow a pick and shovel i went around to the back of the cottage and dug a hole about two foot by two foot and around two foot deep .
I carried Alfie around and laid him to rest in his blanket i got rid of the bin bags as they didn't seem fitting , i placed a cross i had found in my drawer and tucked it in to his blanket we also placed a white artificial flower at the side of him , i found a piece of slate and placed it over him before filling the hole back in , i covered it back with the turf and hopefully in a few moths they be no trace of the ground being disturbed . R.I.P Alfie.

The pick and shovel i borrowed from a policeman who lives a few cottages down from us i reassured him if Helen ever disappeared , the police would not  have to look for a freshly dug grave burying her would be too much like hard work .Never mind actually loading the body in to the car .

Starting to read all of the Alex Cross detective novels by James Patterson . I have read the first eight or nine  years ago i use to read the paper backs whilst travelling home on the bus  , but i am know going to start to read them on my iPad beginning  at book one  which is "Alone Came A Spider" to final book so far titled  "Hope To Die "  which is a total of 22 books. I want to average one every  fortnight.

We invited our good friend and neighbour Charlie round  to the cottage for a late tea .We are having chicken parcels and a joint of gammon. in a honey glaze .Served with roast potatoes and roasted sweet potatoes parsnips and carrots along with Yorkshire pudding cabbage and sprouts . Chocolate gateau for desert should be a treat  cant beat a proper dinner.

Praying for snow i don't particular want to go back to work only good thing is it will be only for three days.
Its my daughters and my son's birthday  at the end of  January .

MISS YOU

Missing little Alfie am sad i know but was attached to the little fellow , i hope he has his wings and he's found peace and happiness.

It does  make me wonder whats it all about what are we all doing and how many are living life to the fullest potential , i know i am not i come nowhere near yet i continue to carry one as if i have all the time in the world which i know  that i don't have .
Maybe i will if eventually we buy the trailer home or static house what ever we wish to call it , i will start living like i mean it.
How to change your life and do more things or just to make life more interesting if we don't change anything than life stays the same ,but knowing how to change or making it happen is the hard bit .

Two more days and i am back at work that's if we don't get more snow  falling if we do than maybe i will be off all week , now that would make life a little bit more interesting .

I have to bury little Alfie we are going to lay him to rest behind the cottage the ground is too hard at the moment he his tightly wrapped in his blanket and then in  two bin bags before being placed in a box this is then in another bin bag , covered with snow outside our front window until i can borrow a shovel and bury him .
Hate to think i would have to get rid of a human body it is way too much hassle just trying to bury the cat they make it look so easy on  "The Walking Dead" reality is quite different.

GOODNIGHT ALFIE

Helen did three readings in Leeds yesterday on the way over we bought a Gigaset tablet form Pcworld.
 It boosts  a quad core processor and you can upgrade the memory using a micro sd card u to 32gb all for £60 , and to be fair it is very good .Helen bought it for her mothers birthday all her mother has is a Kindle book reader and a not so brilliant pc .
I synced it with her Kindle books and also put her a load of photos of her grandson on to it and showed her how to use Spotify , its a great present for her .
It started to snow again least i got the car further home than before still cant get it on to our bit of drive that is opposite the cottage.

SUNDAY
Went out to Black Haller farm shop and bough some fresh veggies chicken pieces and a steak pie meatballs was still on offer so i got two trays , we also bought sausages and some pork pies .

Our  little ginger cat Alfie passed away this afternoon .He died beside the radiator on his blanket very peaceful.He has been battling  on for ages and after a great fight he gave in enough was enough he passed away .
I don't think Pip realises he has gone she is sat in front of the fire seemingly unaware that he his not here anymore.
We have wrapped him in his blanket and placed him in a box in a plastic bin liner  he is resting in the front garden covered in snow we will bury his little body once the ground thaws out , its way to hard to dig.
To think he lived a lot of his life on the radiator to think now he is in the snow and cold does not seem right.Goodnight Alfie .

MORE WHITE STUFF

Thursday
Very cold thinking more snow is on its way. Everywhere in s white blanket will suit me specially as i don't have to travel to work being at home for the next five days brilliant .

Ian Lawman came tonight he did five readings including one for Helen  he won't travel from his home for less than five and he charges £50 per reading guaranteeing him a minimum of £250 . saying this he is good value for money i meet him  when i got home just after eleven o clock when he had finished  all of the readings .He seemed very genuine he is also been ordained and he is a priest and carries out exorcism's for the church.
 He owns various houses and he is looking at buying a disused chapel and also his setting up his own phone lines offering people readings using various psychic readers at a cost of £700,000 to set it all up , big business .
But he works hard and is a true professional and a really likable person to boot .you can find out more about the man here at http://www.ian-lawman.com

Friday
It has been snowing but not really settling we went to Staples Helen bought a new appointment diary and post it notes .
why Helen cant use her iPhone and i pad and mac book to organise her life is beyond me but hey ho so much for the power of iso and spell checker,  what was that  Bruce Willis said in Die Hard about being an analogue watch in a digital world ,so very true.

Bought more chicken and wraps and some ciabatta bread and pate so well sorted.
Two people are coming for readings tonight and we are going over to Leeds tomorrow to do another two or three people depending on the weather of course .
At the time of posting this just after 21:00 there is a thin white blanket appearing with the road and grass still visible .

Need to buy  of eBay another 100 blank cd's  plastic wallets and some AAA batteries for Helen's readings .

Eating - chicken and chorizo.

Watching "Wild" and "Fury".

MORE LEAVE COMING

Booked Friday Monday and Tuesday of as annual leave meaning three days work five days no work I did not even get this amount of time at Christmas .
My daughter finishes work soon to go on maternity leave her baby is due in March which will fly by and officially I will be a grandfather amazing to say when I was I'm my teens and twenties I never wanted to get married or have children.I ended up doing both .

I am going to find out if I can cash in my works pension if I can it will go towards the purchase of the static home we are hoping to buy in April.Buying this would be a godsend it will give us more spending power and our favourite farm shop is a few miles away plus we are still in the heart of the countryside but only a few miles from the M1 motorway which terminates in Leeds City centre.
Meaning travel to work would more or less be halved.
One thing we would like for the living room is a wood burning stove the cost and the installation of it I am not sure .

It tried snowing again tonight but it did not lay which is good i want to be able to go to work i rather get snowed in after my five days off .

Need to buy some chicken and chorizo and some frozen chips and maybe some sour creme and chives. I also need some Mexican or chilli burgers and more wraps , i also need pear cider onions and peppers i might also get the ingredients to do a Spanish omelette .
We also need to go for or buy in the food to cook a Sunday lunch this weekend.
Drinking lager and lime cant drink lager straight any more .

RATHER

Getting sick of living in this little cottage . its way too dark and glum and if it gets any darker we will need a miners helmet or one of those head band torches. Another issue is its damp in winter with mould almost everywhere . Which is not good .I have seen bigger prison cells .Of course we did realise it was small when we moved.
Having no separate kitchen is not a great way to live we don't even have a dining table to eat meals off.Inviting someone round is also not a great idea we have a three seat settee and a chair

The lack of work space and no where to put a clothes dryer means we have to hang wet clothes on an airy to dry , it is like going back to the 1950s.

The kitchen on the back wall is not really adequate .There is not enough preparation space for cooking and preparing meals .Most of the kitchen cupboards are out of line and the doors don't fit right .

The open plan stair case  is also an issue as it lets a draught blow down from upstairs .Which makes it colder its like having air con.

We only have two doors the main door to the cottage and the one on the bathroom .

The dog sits in front of the fire and the cat perches on the radiator most of the day .We have two radiators they are both way too small and situated in the wrong positions.
Helen sits in her all in one and wraps a blanket around her shoulders to keep warm. There are draughts coming in where you shouldn't be getting draughts. Being dug in to an embankment i suppose does not help.

The ceramic tiles have recently seem to be coming away from the wall in the bath room .Which seems a colder place even than the fridge .We have just spent our last winter here . And in a few months hopefully we are gone .
Good points we have made some great friends and the location is great i would recommend to anyone to come and live here just not in the cottage we are in .Rather be somewhere else.

I slipped yesterday on the walk behind our cottage my leg just went from under me it was completely on my arse as a result i am in pain i can't go on sick i am being monitored i will have to book some holidays .
The weather is still grey and dull and wet .We have had no more snow i am thinking i would rather be snowed in than go to work .

HAIR CHOPPED

Yesterday i had my haircut in Leeds  by Louise whose wedding we attended in August , Helen had hers coloured we both look better then what we did.
on the way home we had chicken and chips from our little chicken shack Marsten's on Leeds road on the way home to Holmfirth as always it was good food.

My son found out on Friday that he will only have a week left in his job he is being laid off due to lack of work and  he is gutted and no doubt totally pissed of .
Young people need a trade but also  need to earn money he feels let down and of course  he is worried that it will take him ages to gain employment and he is also worried about the up keep of his car it's M.O.T is due in February and for him to be road legal needs to pass  ,it is not the start to 2015 that he was hoping for only two weeks in to the new year hopefully it can only get better for him , i do feel for him i wish more than anything he had secured employment fingers crossed a job will come .

The price on eBay for a new or even secondhand  ipod classic is astounding they are in some cases well over £1500 I am guessing the return on your initial investment is well over 700% better than investing in gold or silver just buy fruit mainly Apples.

Went back to Leeds Helen had two readings  i sat in a car park in a shopping centre a couple of miles away , i was able to access the cloud and did a bit of surfing 0n my iPad.
On the way home we did a bit of food shopping and bought a fish and two bread cakes  from a fish shop just a bit up the road from the chicken shack we ate at yesterday ,  we had them  in the car before setting of back home  watching Jason Statham  in "Killer Elite".

Watching  -  "American Sniper". 2014 film about Chris Kyle .

Reading  - " Baby Lets Play House " by Alanna Nash about Elvis and  the women who loved him .

Listening to - Alex Cornish "No Shore"

NEVER MIND

Got chicken in the oven and have got a busy weekend we are going to Leeds tomorrow Helen is getting her hair coloured at the hairdressers tomorrow , i will go to Pc world and have a browse see what offers they have on.
.
Sunday we are back in Leeds Helen as three readings to do in a ladies  house and i will be sitting in the car for at least three to four hours watching films on my iPad  and hopefully eating chocolate with a banana milkshake.

So it is quarter to one and we will have to be up at eight in the morning so  i guess i need to go to bed but not before i have a coffee .
Helen is watching  You tube channel about Figaro.s the little Japanese cars never mind

RETURN OF THE DEAD

New year same crap did a twelve hour shift yesterday I had to move the car every two hours which was a pain in the arse, or run the risk of getting a £80 parking penalty why you have to pay to park on a normal street is beyond me it's a license for the council to print money , and why you need a permit topper at work when you work there is ludicrous there is doctors saving peoples lives yet they have to pay to park their cars England is totally messed up.

12 people killed in France what is the world coming to i hope the people who did this are caught and guillotined which would be fitting seeing as Jihad John was doing the same to hostages over in Sierra an eye for an eye or a head for a head .

Started watching "The Walking Dead " season five have watched date first two episodes and i am hooked again got to say it has to be one of the best tv series i have seen for a long time i rate it better than "Breaking Bad" the fact that it will run longer helps.

Cant believe that Sony as a new mp3 player costing nearly 1k and they are suggest you buy a amp and head phones for another £1300 some out lay i cant see it being justified its not even got a 1tb storage allowance , you could by a Mac book pro iPad mini and a iPhone 6 for a similar price i know how i would spend the cash .

Helen had another reading tonight that is four in four days which is a good start to the new year she is also working on the phones which is a great help and brings in a steady income .

I should get a increment on my wage in March and the price of petrol as gone down in price again and is now £1.06 a litre for unleaded.

A FEW MONTHS AWAY

Well in a few months we will know if we can have the static home we viewed a few weeks ago we might be able to get a result sooner , as always its a waiting game but we are more in the positive segment than a negative segment so who knows fingers crossed .

If we do get it apart from wining the lottery we will most likely not be moving again and we will live here continuously so we can really put our stamp on it and have totally how we want to decorate and do the flooring and hang new curtains up at the windows which will make if homely .
It is bigger place with more rooms than we have now the kitchen and living room are larger than what we live in now .we will able to fit in a tumbler dryer and a dish washer if we wanted , with a spare room for Helen to set up and work from,

Latest buy of Ebay a wireless radio transmitter it works fine but it is not wireless as i have to use a 3mm aux lead to connect to my iPhone and the buttons to skip forward or back only work if you connect it via the usb lead when i tried to do this it still did not work i can't be arsed with it was only the price of a packet of twenty cigs . My son also bought one for his car  but he is using it on the iPod i gave him not a phone.

Went to the farm shop on Denby Dale Road which will be closer once we move and we bought another to oven bake steak pie and two trays of meatballs they were on offer some growlers (pork pies) sausage rolls and some potatoes.

Our cat Alfie seems to be getting worse its not looking good and he seems to be eating  less each day and as a result of his loss of appetite  he is become a bag of bones , it is not looking positive for the little fellow he tends to sleep on top of the radiator most of the time  , night and day .

Went to Ikea bought a shot glass and some dining room plates that was reduced we had Swedish meatballs and fries in the restaurant quite filling.

STAG

More snow is predicted for Saturday if it happens could easily get snowed in again so today I am going to go see my manager and see where I stand if I can't get to work . I think we are taking down the chri tree and decorations down tomorrow get the cottage back to normal.
Be Valentine's Day before we know it .then it's going to be Easter and we will be a quarter  of the way in to 2015.

Ian Lawman pictured below from "Living with the dead "  tv series is apparently coming to our little cottage to see what he can pick up in the next couple of weeks , I am not sure exactly why we are not exactly living on Elm Street .

Both my sisters came over we went to Dobcross garden centre aw we got on the top of the moors it became foggy and it started to snow . We  bought  a plywood cut out 3d stags head for the wall of the cottage , thats  until we can afford a proper cows head and horns or some antlers .

Watching - "The Station Agent ".

ONE IN 15

Got up at hal past eight and had a shower starting the new year squeaky clean .I went down stairs  and had a coffee whilst i washed the dishes and feed Alfie he's made it in to 2015.

I took Pip out as soon as the wind hit her she did a u-turn and went deaf as she was not on a lead and not stopping g in followed her back home .

Helen is already moaning about the state of her hair it needs conditioning and re colouring we tried to get some conditioner on the way home last night just after eleven it was not happening.

Wished everyone a happy new year via Facebook , msn tried to phone my son just after midnight think he was partying , not paid my phone bill waiting to see how long we get into the new year before they cut me off .

Helen went to her parents house yesterday and is going again today which means we be late home again as i finish work at ten then have to drive over to pick Helen and Pip up. , but at  least its Friday tomorrow and then first weekend of the new year .

I like the Apple "Start something" campaign and i downloaded the VSCO Cam app just to try out its free of charge to download and use .

HAPPY NEW YEAR

Well it is the last day of 2014 tomorrow is a new year and a  new beginnings i do hope so , and i hope it is not a case of a new year same old shit going on.
 I do doubt that and  i do hope for new happenings for me and everyone out there , some of it is down to us and some of it is down to circumstance and fate , there is a load of people who did not make it and because of that we should endeavour to live life to the fullest and not just plod on .

What i want for 2015 - is for our cat Alfie to finally kick the shit out of his cat flu virus and to be fit and healthy he must be one seriously pissed of cat .

To leave this cottage and move to pastures new a certain static home in Flockton would be a dream come true this is still available hopefully it will still be on the market in March when we will put a offer to buy on it .

Helen to finally pass her driving test and be road legal to drive us around so i can see the scenery you don't always see when your behind the wheel  .

My daughters baby which is due to be  born in March for it to be born healthy and to have a great life .
For the rest of family and close  friends to be healthy happy and contended. 

Helen continues to improve her medium skills and that she gets truly recognised as an astounding psychic every year she seems to do better and meet new people and friends as a result of doing one to one readings.

To see my Son to carry on working in his job and to see him more in 2015 that i did in 2014 .

to have some sort of getaway break or holiday even if it is in the U.K .

That i continue to work and earn money hopefully in a new job as i am getting fed up of the job that i am doing along with everyone else who i work with.

To read more books and listen to more new bands and watch more new films to eat at new restaurants and inns and to go to the cinema.

To make more of the weekends specially in the summer months 

Find more vlogs and blogs to watch read and follow  .

to travel further south and to travel further north than what we have done previously including going to Wales .

WISHING YOU ALL A VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR , AND ALL THE BEST FOR 2015.

STRANDED

All the snow and slush froze over during the night making it impossible to get the car even of it's parking space never mind on to the main road where it is relatively clear i dare not risk getting the car stuck , i could not leave it on some of the country lanes they are way too narrow and it would end up getting seriously damaged and then ii would be an nightmare to get to work each day with no drivable car.
I phoned work to let them know my predicament not one of my line managers where at work they are all still off on annual leave typical.

HELENS BIRTHDAY

Need to buy some shot glasses or whiskey glasses we have a couple of wine glasses and a couple of beer glasses we need to go to Ikea and stock up .
Drove over to Leeds our little street is still very icy and slippery but we made it in to the main road .We was going to meet Helens son Liam and his girlfriend Nicole and all go for a meal for Helens birthday.
 We was going to  Gala Casino on Kirtsall road which lies on the outskirts of  the city Leeds , we had join and become members for us  to gain entry even though  we did not want to gamble just to eat at the casinos restaurant , had salt and pepper chicken wings Helen had tomato and basil for main I had fish Helen fillet steak the food was very good for the four of us it was £47.
We did not gamble not even on the slots maybe next time if we decided to  go again .

STILL DOING COLD TURKEY

We went to pick the car up where i had parked it at the side of the road last night and drove to the supermarket i had trouble getting it out of the car park once we had finished shopping .

 The snow laid pretty deep in a few hours it was snowing last night this morning it was pretty amazing the landscape and scenery was spectacular mother nature is quite good at getting it right even if it makes driving a nightmare .

 It won't last in a day or so it be all back to normal and before we know it be summer 2015.
i had to wear some black training shoes i bought and have worn only a few times Crocs are not winter shoes , even had a scarf and fingerless gloves on i also had a shot  of Hanky Bannister whiskey i need some shot glasses .

We was supposed to be driving to Leeds this morning Helen was going to get there hair cut but we did not venture out until later in the afternoon the Suzuki Swift is absolute rubbish on the ice and snow i do miss the trusty Freelander  4x4 i had i should have kept it , looking back it was a bad idea getting rid of it but seemed good at the time.
It is Helen's birthday tomorrow another year old , she found out today her Aunt had passed away i don't think i had ever meet her .
We are still eating cold turkey , The chimney that appears in all three photos is that of an old mill on Upper Bank Old Road.

LET IT SNOW

Boxing day
if i had not left work when i did due to the falling snow  i would not have made it home . As it was the snow was laying that fast and deep ,  i decided there was no  alternative i had to abandon the car .
it was going all over the road including on the wrong side of the road , the clutch was slipping bad and i could smell it burning the wheels were trying to turn but was constantly slipping on the snow  then it started to go sidewards and then it started to slip back i manage to turn the car and park as best as i could at the side of the road hopefully no other car will slide in to it .
I walked the rest of the way home i was only five minutes away by the time i got home my top half was covered in snow my feet was cold and wet it is best not to wear Croc's when walking in the snow as the vent holes tend to let water in .
Thank god we have half a turkey crown let to eat a joint of gammon and two bottles of whiskey so  let it snow let it snow let it snow.

Helen armed with a snow ball  it had only been snowing a couple of hours can't wait for the morning hopefully we be all white .

CHRISTMAS 2014

CHRISTMAS DAY .

We never made midnight mass i finished work just before ten at night when i picked Helen up she told me my nephew and partner where no longer going so we also cancelled and went straight home .

Was given a bottle of Hankey Bannister scotch whiskey from Charlie and Beth who live in the cottage a few doors down they bought Helen a peacock feather quill pen which she adores .

Helen loves  peacocks she thinks they are truly spiritual and magical and we go to the Strine inn which have thirty plus running around the pub car park and gardens

We had a brilliant turkey dinner with Yorkshire puddings sweet pots parsnips cabbage and sprouts forgot to get the stuffing bought not the cranberry sauce .We had more turkey left over than what we had to eat.
Back at work tomorrow boxing day then its the weekend .

MASSES

It is my last day off and i was up and out of the house for half past six it was still dark as i drove to the garage to fill up with petrol i also bought 4 boxes of cat food pouches they are on offer until the end of December , I then i drove to the local Lidl and bought some lager and pear cider we don't drink loads so 12 cans of each is more than enough .I also bought some pigs in blankets and a gammon joint and some other bits and pieces that i thought we might need .

I am buying a iPad mini for myself i took mine in to hock when we was peppermint (skint} it is the exact same model it might even be mine who knows anyway i did miss not having one , so buy the end of today i will  be sorted.

We went over to visit Helen's son Kris he has just bought his first house it fully doubled glazed and freshly painted and carpeted throughout the kitchen and bathroom are immaculate it's a great first house it is only a few streets away from the first house I ever bought.

Went to Meadow Hall Sheffield thought it would be manic with a massive amount of Christmas shoppers but it was ok .The weather was very windy with heavy rain but still they was lots doing their shopping I bought Helen a onesie with hood and ears .

Christmas Eve
I have to go to work at two till ten I am dropping Helen off at her parents house and picking her up after ten so we can go to the Church at Adel for Christmas mass at midnight .
When we return home it will be Christmas .

A massive Christmas to all , I  hope you all have a fantastic Christmas and a happy new year peace and love the world over and a great 2015 May it be a great year for everyone out there , Respect to you all love Bob x

TWO DAYS OFF

SUNDAY
Helen finished her phones readings after one o clock in the morning , someone always seems calls just before she is going to sign off for the night and usually it can take at least half an hour to finish.
After her last reading she checked her bank account she had been paid which was a big bonus she though it was going to be Monday night before she got her money through  , and money early is always appreciated.

We went to over to Wyke which is to near Bradford Helen had some f2f readings booked and was working in a hair salon , i was sat in the car for five hours .
bought a chicken and mushroom pizza and done meat and chips to eat at home as it was nearly midnight.

MONDAY
Went to the garage where the car was booked in this morning just before nine i went for a walk  for an hour whilst it was being examined for faults wear and tear etc it was a fine drizzle when i got back i had learned it had passed YIPPEE we are now road legal for another year although he did recommend that we replaced all the four tyres in the next six months , at least no big repair bill just before Christmas.

Went food shopping to Blackhaller farm bought all our veg for Christmas three types of baby carrots four  types of potatoes including sweet and baby and two varieties for roasting red   , along with onions  , broccoli , cabbage ,  parsnips , mushrooms and cauliflower and of course the sprouts which i knocked a nail in to the cottage's beam to hang them from .

Bought a turkey crown that cost a lot just for the two of us know doubt the dog and cat will pig out and a jar cranberry jelly can't forget that it just would not be Christmas along with a hand made pork pie just need to get wine spirits cider and ale and we will be all set fingers crossed .

Alfie our ginger Tom is still suffering the effects of cat flu he has had it most of his life. I do feel really sorry for him as he is still sneezing and still has mucus coming from his nose  which is looking a bit sore and  red. His breathing is very wheezy and his nasal passage and air ways not sounding too good.
 We love him to bits but also worry about his quality of life is it being cruel letting him live this way . But at least he is living and coping he is a great little character another issue is  he does not seem to be growing or to be putting any weight on .
 How happy his he is anybody guess at the moment he is  still eating and drinking it is a concern and of course we both hope he makes a full recovery and that  he gets better very quickly .

CHRISTMAS IS NEAR

Monday
 took Pip out this morning was cold rather then crisp ,  i really need to get this week out of the way not wishing my life away but i need it not to drag , i need to get the car booked for its M.O.T having a car always seems to cost me just before Christmas or in the new year hopefully it will pass and i will only need to pay for the test certificate and nothing else which is between £30 and £40 depending on the garage it is booked in at.
For some unknown reason my right foot is not good ever time i put it down its's like i'am standing on a nail i get a pain in my heel this seems to come and go , i feel i 'am in need of a M.O.T never mind the car.

Tuesday
My foot is not as bad but it is still uncomfortable but 75% better than yesterday .I have either Monday off next week so it could be a long weekend or Christmas eve off which will make it feel more like Christmas than just having one day off , what i really really want is all next week off and go back boxing day.

Thursday
Want a super cheap tablet instead of a Apple or Nexus i want to see what a £100 tablet won't do compared to a dearer one , my reckoning they won't be a massive  difference as long as i can watch movies surf the internet and read Ebooks it will be good i also reckon with a cheaper version i can get   an expandable expansion slot for a memory card been looking at a Dragon touch tablet very cheap .

Wednesday
Mid week best thing about today i did not need to go move the car i got a free parking spot , that was the highlight of my day .


Friday
After today i have the next four days off including the weekend , i lost my office keys which is a pain in the fucking arse , after seven o clock at night i am by myself and i go walkabout leaving the office unlocked is risky , Don't want to leave it unlocked only to find one of the ten year old pc running windows xp has been lifted  dread horror , worse case scenarios some one as eaten all the boxes of Celebrations and Heroes.

Saturday
It's eleven in the morning Helen is just getting her ass out of bed and has just shouted down for a cup of tea making n she is working till one o clock Sunday morning doing her phone readings bless her.
She cooked a full English breakfast  for the second day running.
Had a Indian take away for tea a curry  chicken kahari with rice and popadoms and onion bahji.

WEEKEND OVER

Thank Fcuk it's the weekend pear cider time chicken and chorizo time without the wraps and without the fries just new potatoes with butter.
Still wanting a day off when i have been paid so we can go and do some shopping we are wanting to go to our favourite farm shop to get our festive food , the way its looking will be dining on spam egg and chips.
Have spotted a bottle of Irish whisky that i would really like to try it out it is available at our local supermarket and a few  irish coffees and a hip flask full will be a warm welcome specially as it seems to be getting cold frosty and with a threat of snow.

Went to my sisters house for a get together last night my two nephews Andrew and Mark both went with there partners Sue and Angie , My Daughter who is pregnant and will have the baby in March was also there with her partner Lee .
We had a big pot of chilli and baked potatoes with grated cheese and loads of different deserts cheese cakes gateaus and all things fattening , i was even given bottle of my favourite pear cider , we left just after eleven and got home just after midnight.

The price of petrol has gone down once again  its been dropping over the last month and it is now £1.15 a litre  ,which is very good which is very good seeing that i do 50 miles a day its a good saving .
Helen's telephone readings are still going very well some days are better than others but on the whole its a godsend specially in the run up to Christmas she did over ninety minutes this evening .

Watching - Denzel Washington in "The Equaliser " which is 10/10

TEN YEARS

Still can't believe i found my watch i thought it was gone forever i was thinking it had been stolen by a visitor to the house , if i had not got the decorations out this year i would have not been reunited with it , not that i wear it often its still nice to have a wrist watch , it was still going and it was the right time its a self winding mechanism so why it was still going is weird  as it winds by wrist movement .

Helen's phone readings are going ok Sunday night was slow one caller only Saturday night was good and calls through the week good.

I have Christmas day off which is amazing as i have had the last three Christmas's off but i will work Boxing day and new years day as we get paid on the 23rd of December i could do with having off , so we can do some shopping otherwise we will be eating not very much.

Helen as five readings booked for herself to do on the Sunday before Christmas which might lead to more happening on a regular basis.

We want and hope that 2015 will be our best year i will have stopped smoking for ten years in March 2015 and i still get a craving for nicotine so very addictive .

STRANGE FINDINGS

It snowed this afternoon we was going over the moors when we saw the snow coming down it was settling but in our village it was a very light dusting it might get worse through the night morning will tell.

We put the Christmas tree up and decorated it it stands in the corner of the room just as you come through the door it is on the left , it was ht only place really we could put it .We did not think we was going to bother to put it up this year but it wouldn't be Christmas with out a tree.

As we was going through the remainder of the decorations we did not need them all because the tree is tight up into a corner so we need less decorations , as i was going through them after Helen had been rummaging through them i saw it , it was lying on the bottom of the box it was my Fossil watch i had lost its whereabouts ages ago and the Christmas tree and decorations was under our bed and the box was taped up it has been under there since we took the tree down at the beginning of the year , how my watch ended up there i have no idea very very strange .

We went to see another static home in HD4 on Hill Tree Park there is loads of property on site and i think there is a few empty plots.

NO SNOW YET

Well its just been a case of work and sleep really nothing fantastic or life changing has happened as always its another boring week of tedious driving to and from work , snow is still being forecast for the weekend bring it on is what i say .

Helen's readings have been going really good she had one person phone her up four times over the space of a week she wanting to know about meeting someone anyone she just wants confirmation that she will be in a relationship with a person mainly any man will do asp weirdo .

She got her first pay cheque paid in to he bank it was only for four days but it was not a bad amount we sort of work it out to a round £400 a fortnight but this figure can go up or down but either way its a massive help to our everyday living costs.

Not heard  anything regarding the static home we viewed hopefully there is not a buyer for it until we are in the running .

Went back to Blacker Hall Farm shop bought both pork and pork and tomato sausages , a home made steak pie ready to bake , some lamb mince , two chicken and bacon parcels with pesto and cheese  , a pot of beef spread , meatballs , fresh brown bread cakes , mince pies and gateau  , veggies including mixed carrots , sweet pots , and mushrooms , for the journey home some ready to eat sausage rolls and pork pies for the pricey sum of £40.

It is getting colder and there is more frost on the ground on  a morning  now which is good because the ground is frozen it keeps the wet mud of my Crocs.

Need to go to bed earlier its around two in the morning before we are hitting the pillows and its starting to getting that by the time its early evening i could go to sleep .

PASSED

My daughter passed her driving test yesterday first attempt she is now road legal and has already been out on the roads by herself , her my son and myself all passed first time , must be in the jeans.

We went to see about the static home yesterday it was not a good result ,the lady who owns it can't sub let it to us whilst i get my money next year for numerous reasons , all we can do is pray it does not sell in the next four months .

Snow is supposed to be on its way to us in the U.K  if it happens chances are that i won't be able to get to work , so it's a good job i still  have three weeks annual leave left to take , i hope we get snowed in for a little while like the weekend and a few days in the week would be good .

As of yet bought no Christmas cards and not loaded iPhone with any Christmas festive tunes , maybe when its snow will watch Home Alone again for the 20th time and listen to some Christmas songs .

Been invited to my sister's house next Saturday for a family get together its on the 13th which is our mother's birthday , its my Dad's birthday tomorrow .

FINGERS CROSSED AGAIN

We go to view the static home tomorrow at half past nine , we have to try and knock out a deal to rent until we can buy , and we will give it are best shot  . but it is in the hands f the gods , if we get a deal it will be one of the best moves we have done.
Tonight it is going to be a restless time Helen had trouble getting to sleep last night tonight will be worse by this time tomorrow we should know how the land lies , fingers crossed .
