Well its Monday its nearly seven thirty am i am drinking my second cup of coffee and eating two slices of fruit loaf , i have been shopping to our local supermarket and bought some fresh chicken tikka masala curries .poppadoms and nan breads also strawberries and a carton of double cream for tea.

The weather is still totally rubbish. Helen thought that her back was going to start giving her grief she use to get really bad sciatica and be laid up for months on end obviously her new job would more or less be out of the window if this happened , and would be a major set back to us both , and on the other hand she wouldn't be able to do any readings as spirit will tend to leave you alone if you are ill or in pain they are apparently very courteously and leave you alone to heal .




The picture above is the office i work in well its more like base camp , as i visit each department i look after on a daily basis i also carry a bleep /pager i look after the cleaning of the A&E department and see what police are in with prisoners usually they are blooded and cut up and are getting medical treatment before going to the station for charging.

Then we get the drunks these come in any shape,size, sex. and age , apart from walkabouts i also do waste audits check all sharps bins containing contaminated needles i.v sets are marked up to identify from which ward or department they are from and are correctly tagged with a numbered cable tie which are unique and are allocated and recorded to each ward or department.

As there is more than one hospital in Leeds but all waste goes to the same place for disposing some goes to land fill sites some goes for deep bury on land filled sites and pharmaceutical waste gets incinerated which is the most costly ,some of this waste gets disposed of through bins in bags that are coloured coded and then tagged domestic waste is in black bags clinical waste Orange bags pharmaceutical waste purple and yellow bags , these then all go in to separate waste bins if they get mixed up the hospital gets fined , if a sharps bin ends up on a local tip or land fill site then the hospital can get fined up to £75.000 per bag or bin.

I also inspect and record all cleaning of the areas i look after on my shift areas using a PDA to record scores and results which is down loaded to the pc , A&E as a cleaning team on 24/7 , Managerial audits are done to check we are checking correctly its endless.


I also have access on the PC carps controller this shows me all wards that need cleaning jobs doing for patients that have been discharge or moved to different wards any ward any time can list jobs these jobs are given to cleaners via a radio handset they have four buttons they use A,B,C, and D , A is to show they are available for work B= that they have accepted a job and our on route , C= they are on site and are undertaking the job, D = that the job is completed , they get the sister or nursing staff to sign a sheet that the job as been done times and that its been undertaken correctly , i do spot checks whilst cleaners are on wards as the computer shows me who is where in the hospital if they are working and cleaning on what area or if they are available for their next job it also show me the time scales so i can see how long some one is available and not accepting a job if some one is taking too long , if some one is on break , this can go mental and there is little i can do to manage it , as it all depends on what wards have discharges this comes in at two o clock in the afternoon until six the following morning and on Source isolation cleans everything is done and cleaned all windows and bed curtains have to be taken down and clean ones fitted .it is on a bad day ONE BIG nightmare ,as wards just add jobs that the ward house keepers cant be bothered to do.

i have to try and manage this on a daily basis and put it in to some organised chaos all source isolation's take priority and all ward nursing staff are responsible for cleaning bodily fluids these include vomit , blood ,and urine the cleaners on rapid response that i manage , don't do it unless its in a public area or A&E.

As you can see the office is without windows and we are situated nest to a bin holding area it is warm and we have a fan instead of air con and we have a kettle but no tap its dingy and dismal and the shortest time i can spend in there i do , i can move about we have roof gardens that look over the centre of Leeds and i can get outside when i go from one area to another , but that office is depressing its got to be one of the worse places to work , some theaters recently had new operating lights fitted at a cost of £95,000 , operating tables costing £110,000 other equipment for use in endoscopy and scanners costing a cool two million yet we cant even have a i-pad we have to use a shitty windows pda with crappy chargers and that uses infa red port to transfer data ,and thats my real beef lol.

That's why i like the sea and country side after a week in there you want to be able to breath , want to see a view , and hear the wind and feel the sun , i see people who are about to die or who are dying or who wont live to double figures , and you realise life is short and life is precious , i dont want to waste it , i want to do new things and go to new places and experience life , perhaps we should sell the house and just hit the road see where destiny takes us ,all the doctors , surgeons , professors , scholars and intellects , i come across at least i know one thing they know it it was not taught to me or any of us, is that you only life once.

My daughter is looking for a new place to live in New Zealand , she posted some photos of the house that she went to view . It looked well massive and posh it looked new and clean and fresh all mod cons , i could move in there myself and the rent is similar to what she is paying now she shares with three other people that already live there ,should be good i was talking with her again on face book messenger and she had updated her Blog , she had been to spookers check it out this web page http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AyyGo_ZJiGE , very scary people looks too real.

Went to shopping bought a freshly baked fruit loaf for breakfast and some chicken breasts and bacon withe brie and spinach with asparagus in white wine sauce with bubble and squeak for our Sunday tea we also bought a lemon sponge cake with fresh cream .

Helen keeps asking me to tidy out our minuscule cellar so we can sell the house , i argued about putting the house up for sale until we have other plans in the pipeline like :-

1.Where are we going to live which place,town,city,country.

2.How much are we going to have to spend on rent. our mortgage is £413 a month.

3.What happens to our jobs helen starts at sevn i finish at ten at night

4.What happens to our pets?, a lot of rental properties wont allow you to have pets apart form budgies and goldfish

5.Other things to consider is short term lets where is ever going to be living anywhere permanent again we will never own property outright or even have collateral in bricks and mortar .

6. What happens to all your furniture and goods chances are we will move in to somewhere a lot smaller .

7, If we stay in Leeds then no real point in selling up , rents in Leeds are about £550 for somewhere half decent up to £750 for somewhere a bit more up market.

Went to the canal at Thwaite Mills it was a nice walk alone the banks saw some stone pillars forming a circle not sure why this is not far from where we live at we had no idea as to what the stones was there for.







Once a gain the weekend as quickly disappeared not until another five days of work shall we see it once again.

Listening to Keane "Under The Iron Sea"

Watching "Aliens 1,2,3,&4"

SATURDAY PART TWO

Woke up Saturday morning for half past eight feed the cat and dog Harvey and Pip there paths rarely cross they live total separate life's rarely they meet f2f , but it works they are both well looked after and both are very much loved just not by each other .

The weather is as it has been all week wet wet wet , i love Indian summers if we get one i will be happier than having a red hot June , July and August , we have used the barbecue once not good , sat out in the garden once not good ,glad i didn't fork out on a new summer wardrobe , Bermudas , Hawaiian shirts ,Jesus sandals Ray Bans , been better investment to get a wet suit and flippers and a snorkel.

Took Helen to Louise's salon "Luxe" to see her opinion on getting her hair bleaching , that was after i had toasted some current tea cakes for breakfast , after Helen got her arse out of bed just before at ten , Louise couldn't do anything with Helen's hair all she did was to cut it.

Went to shops bought decent hair conditioner and shampoo and more hair dye ,then it was to Cocos for her nails doing so in less than eight days i have waited in salons whilst she has had her eyebrows done HD , nails stuck on and painted and her hair coloured i reckon around four hours not including travel time i was falling asleep in the nail salon all that acetone fumes was send me off in to the land of nod.

Tea we went to the Harvester restaurant had salad potatoes and pasta to start with and fresh baked bread rolls ,as much as you liked including all other salad which i don't do Helen likes her greens she filled a couple of bowls up , for a main starter we had Nachos with melted cheese , with sour cream , jalapenos guacamole sauce and tomato dips , followed by mixed grill for H and me i had triple chicken fat bastard style which was a 1/4 chicken roast , chicken breast flamed grilled and a Cajun chicken breast , loads of food left over , so we wrapped it up and took it home for Pip she demolished including in it was some steak and gammon which Helen had left , we paid and left just as the rain stated coming down it was a torrential down pour once more it had been sunny most of the day , we saw loads of people caught in the rain 30 seconds max and it was the equivalent of standing underneath a power shower , plenty of people was looking feed up , when we got home Helen stayed in the car till it ceased .

Helen dyed her hair a few months ago from blonde to a dark brown colour , and now in typical woman fashion wants to go back to being a blonde ,the first mistake she asked me what i thought and i said to be honest i replied yes ,i prefer blonde's a typical man response ,i am nothing if not honest.

Its now way past midnight and she is texting Louise our hairdresser if she can fit her in later today like its an emergency , i just hope Louise is not having sexy time with her boyfriend as she going to b a little bit pissed off , i'd go and dye it fluorescent green .

Louise did text back 10 minutes later her boyfriend is fast asleep snoring , she said there's no chance and if she was to put any bleach on her hair in the condition its in it could totally ruin her hair , make it that brittle that it just snaps and falls out ,so my advice sounds about right shave your head and buy a wig .In Elizabethan times most women had wigs including merkins now that could catch on again wonder if they are any merkin sellers on ebay.

If i was Snow White or rather snowman, minus the seven little pervy dwarfs and i had been in a long deep sleep and had no recollection of how long i had been sleeping ,that’s drugs and alcohol for you , waking up this morning and looking out of my bed room window which i did and had to guess the month i would say November, another blistering hot sun shining day NOT.


A person we know has been awarded £1000 due to a RTA accident obviously the amount awarded , he was not seriously hurt in the slightest , as this person does not work its a nice little windfall, This got me to thinking if i had a thousand pounds and had to spend ,just on me what would i get what treats , gadgets luxuries would i buy ERM.

 Nexus 7 tablet pc £200
 I – Pod touch £160
 Superdry laptop case white and black £55
 Nikon 1 j1 camera white £369
 Car stereo £120
 Meal out with Helen £95
 £1 to big issue seller
which equals £1000

For a thousand pound spend i don't think i have done bad , wouldn't go shopping today its bloody awful its now lighting and thundering Pip is in her bed and if i was a postman my bag would be going over the nearest hedge and i be in the nearest cafe.

Of course its Wimbledon strawberries and cream and champagne in the rain its bound to be rubbish weather , well that's cheered me up theres always a perfect explanation if you look deep enough.

well we are half way through the week already , so its downhill to the weekend , not sure what our plans our , i posted Helen's details for her tarot cards readings on our website at work called TALKBACK.As a result she has taken a few bookings it can be viewed by hundreds of people 24/7 and not just throughout Leeds , so potentially she could get quite a bit of work , and she has four people booked in already after being online for only one day .
, a total of 138 people viewed her details, a result..... am i a good or what.

Renewed my car tax online and still waiting for it to drop through the mail box if it does not come today i will be worried , and basically in the shit ,once again the joys of motoring , i am seriously getting to hate all the expense and hassle of owning a car i understand why people lease them.

dropping Helen of at work my routine is getting boring sometimes i go to the supermarket and buy any milk dog , cat food any other provisions we might need yesterday i bought mouth wash and a new deodorant i usually get Lynx they do various different versions and for years i have been happy using Lynx today i picked up a totally different brand instead for no other reason to be different and to make a small change , as life is getting boring .

Then i go back home wash any pots , make a coffee and feed the animals , boot up the laptop and visit my favourite sites and catch up with any new posts .i will Cook breakfast at some stage and listen to some music , every other day i will iron a fresh shirt for work , i have a shave and wash and that's about it for the morning , i will vacuum the bird feathers up and any other mess in our kitchen dinner , and leave the house reasonable tidy .

At one leave home for the bus in to the city so i can attend work at two listening to music on my i-phone on the 15 minute bus journey , Once in town i will buy a bottle of spring water kiwi and strawberry and sometimes maybe a hot pastie , i call in to the Gadget shop and see what's for sale or go in to a book shop see what new books are out so i can download them ,i will go to the music shop HMV to see what new music and films are out , then walk the five minutes it takes to get to work , i swipe in at the back entrance and catch the lift to the windowless office to start my shift till ten.

At ten i walk to the bus stop and wait ten minutes for the bus home , once home i cook something to eat , chat to Helen for about a hour before we go to bed setting our i-phone alarms for five and half five so we can start on time another day in our boring lives .

I want to wake up and have an eventful day, to go to bed thinking WOW what a great day i have just had instead of thinking end of a shit day another one happening again tomorrow , i don't know what i should be doing i know i am not happy with my job its dull and mundane and unlikely going to get any more interesting , i need to be doing something and going in a different direction but down which path or route i don't know.

Another thing i have now to consider in choosing my tablet pc that i would like to buy there is now rumours that Apple are going to release a smaller version of i -pad for around £199, and its expected release date is to be in September , of course if this was to be the case i would then wait to buy one ,and i would then also get another i-phone instead of the Samsung , the Internet and being online does make my life more interesting its a form of escape and if i didn't have access to it life would be totally crap shit and deathly boring.

My laptop lets me discover new music , films and books ,play games and lets me buy goods and things i need cheaply and at a knock down price , i can speak to my daughter on the other side of the world in a different time zone to me more or less instantly and free of charge ,these things i find interesting and fascinating , i can discover new art and artist and view all my photos that i have stored on my hard drive , these if i wish i can share via email or upload to anyone i wish , i can go on Face book , love it hate it and catch up with what others have been doing , to say the least there is not a day i don't go online , thanks to smart phones i say the only time i am not online is when i am asleep.






Maybe i should get out more walk in the woods and smell the grass instead of the coffee , i took Pip to our local cemetery for a walk through the graves then the penny dropped at least i am living and i should be grateful , i have the freedom and choice to walk where i like , i guess only amongst the dead one is truly alive.

The above photo is a grave of a young woman , i spoke with her husband one time when he was attending to her grave whilst i was walking Pip , he tole me they were divorced so it was his ex wife , she was killed on the motorway returning home from a Christmas shopping trip , a van driving in front of her shed a carpet , and it blocked her windscreen and vision she crashed her car and she died instantly , he leaves the flowers on a regular basis even though it is ex wife , when we walk through Helen and i always stop and give her our blessings , she looks similar to Helen when she had blonde hair Her name is Helen she was only 41 years old , the same age as my Helen when we first saw her grave , we never knew her and i have only seen the ex husband the one time ,and he told us of how she had passed , it makes us sad that she is dead , if you see the gravestone it as a picture of her top left corner.She was very pretty hopefully she is now a Angel.

Not sure how good this super hub is , downloading files seems fine but normal surfing seems slower might have to phone my Internet provider and see if they can tweak it at their end but at least its no worse .

My Sony Headphones arrived from the ebay seller over the water in Ireland and for the price there very good just over £14.00 excellent value i am happy .

The psychic medium Helen booked did not turn up last night , so all the running around i did making food was pointless, guess what i had when i poled in at half ten last night after work , for my tea minus the salad of course .

The weather is still utterly depressing we had sun a short while yesterday but it didn't last , and more rain is coming the next few days but the forecast is suppose to improve towards the end of July , at the moment its very dark and grey its dismal .

Helen forgot to take with her pack up for work this morning , she had no cigs so i don't think she was functioning properly no nicotine intake brain malfunction addiction to the weed ,so i will have to drop it in to reception where she is working for them to pass it on , otherwise she wont have anything to eat all day , how do you forget food ?.

Been thinking not sure if i want a i-phone replacement who does not love Apple , but i was working with a manager last night and he has just got the new Samsung Galaxy S111 , must have spent an hour and a half showing me all it did , it as many advantages over the i-phone , face and voice recognition instead of a password to unlock it, another couple of advantages are one you can add memory cards up to 64gb and two you can also change and swap the batteries , you can also bet its at least a couple of hundred pounds cheaper than what the new i- phone 5 will be , only difference from the i- phone and i-pod touch is the phone bit , so why not just buy a i-pod touch at half the price still staying loyal to Apple and i can get the Galaxy S111 as well , will have to see another thing about the s111 its Google and android which interests me for obvious reasons ,if i get the Google Nexus 7 tablet could tether them , anyway my upgrade is not due until September.



Was on skype with my daughter again this morning ,atm she has no i-pod and only a prepaid dongle for broadband , she sold her i-phone before she left for her travels. yet she is happy Sometimes less is more OR AT LEAST ENOUGH , perhaps what i have is enough and i should just remember back when my first mp3 player had a 128mb h/d lucky to get two albums on , my first camera was capable of 1.2million pixels and had a 16 gig memory card and my first phone did not have a camera or played music and the game everyone was playing was snake .



Listening to Keane ^ Night Train & Strangeland ^ absolutely brilliant both albums if you don't have them then GET they wont disappoint.

Got the super hub after all they left it with the next door neighbours which we hate , well not hate don't really get on with i went round this morning for it , its all set up took half a hour to activate it but its connecting to laptops via wi-fi and the i-phones have connected so its n the words of Bowie Hunky Dory.

Helen has got a psychic medium to the stars and celebs coming round to night, so whilst she was at work i went shopping and got the ingredients to make her some sandwiches a simple selection consisting of 6x egg mayo and 6x boiled ham i bought her a bowl of pre made salad and some water cress , and i also grated half a block of cheese , i bought some new drinking glasses so at least we have four that match most of the glasses we have have been lifted from the various battle cruisers in and around Leeds and a large bottle of coca cola all done wrapped in cling film the cheese in a tuppa wear container i even went round with the vacuum.

I called my daughter from my mobile its a while since i phoned her was good to talk she is sorting her passport renewal out and wanted my passport details number etc ooops cant find it typical.

Cant get Pip any pigs ears and the reason there is a shortage?the chinese are eating them not satisfied with the rest of the pig they want the fcuking ears too its them who are buying them all up .

setting of for work soon after i have had chicken Tikka masal and fries with grated cheese and a glass of pear cider ice cold , hope the Chinese don't discover the joys of a Indian and pear cider.

P.S Whilst i was uploading this blog post my internet crashed......... typical.

My daughter as been gone nearly four months but of course it seems longer , she lost her passport over the weekend , she needs this as a form of I.D to buy cigs drink and to get in to bars and night clubs etc , so as you can imagine she is a bit peeved off to say the least ,not because it prevents her from returning home , but because she can smoke and drink until oblivion , as no i.d no proof of age no service , bless her your only young once .

I was on skype this morning video calling with her , she looks well and happy which is the main thing , she has been seeing one of the rugby players from the New Zealand team the Warriors

Went to pick wireless super hub up from the delivery centre it had been returned because no one was in to sign for it, they couldn’t find it in the warehouse/depot/airfield it was a similar size to the one in the Indiana Jones movie , i drove over this morning just after nine, they will call me once its whereabouts has been located,no sorry apologising or anything on those lines just we will call you .think it’s a regular occurrence it’s good to know it’s in safe hands thanks Yodel.

On leaving yodel pissed off i drove over to Tong to CCL warehouse my favorite computer retailers and bought a Kingston 16 gig usb pen drive just under £7.00 , This would have been stupid money five years ago now they are as cheap as chips , this made me happy again.

Called in to our local supermarket to put £15 on the electric pre payment key and it was not in my pocket , somewhere on my travels i had lost it ,so I am pissed off again , as we are on emergency credit and there is less than five pounds on it , typical at least I had not put the money on and then lost it , so made a call and can get a new key in a hour at any shop doing pay point , i was given a new digital number to enter on it , then I then have to go home and put it in the metre for 60 seconds to register it after this I can take it to the shop and top it up with credit , fingers crossed I should be happy again , aint life easy.

Got a text of Yodel they will deliver super hub today between 07.00 and 18.00 i go to work at one they will be no one in useless twats.

Be glad when i am at work done my shift and iam on my way home roll on ten o clock.

THE PICTURE I HAVE RECENTLY ADDED TO THE TOP OF MY BLOG IS LAND MARKS OF LEEDS AND THE CITY CENTRE



We went to bed last night at half past nine and it was still light, we just went to bed to sleep nothing else , mores the pity i woke at half past eight didn’t feel that much better for all them extra hours sleep.

Although the weather was not brilliant we went to the Moors, we got there and had a hot oxo drink and a four finger kit- kat from the beverage van that is usually parked up in the car park, this was before we started out walking around the reservoir, the mist and low clouds that had appeared on the drive down was still about but so far it had not rained.

It took us a good hour and half to walk round and get back to the car the last five minutes it started to rain we did get wet but not that bad , soggy yes but drenched no and Pip was ok she was in and out of the puddles all way round the walk anyway and does not mind getting wet ,we went back to the beverage van and got a cheese burger with onions before setting of back home. Once home the sun came out typical .

Helen attacked her drawers and started binning all the old clothes she does not wear i did some of mine and threw out old jeans and trousers i have had ages but never wear , the ones you buy because there in a sale and you get them home and wondered what possed you in the first place to buy them.

She that is Helen lounged in the bath whilst i that is me cooked tea , which was chicken pies one each and mashed potatoes with butter and milk and pepper , and baked beans plus gravy.

Weekend nearly over Helen up at half five another week rollin bye .

I Didn’t get to the movies , I didn’t get to the restaurant , and I didn’t win the lottery although we had two tickets for the Euro on Friday and five for the UK lottery on Saturday , We plus five the Saturday tickets another five chances of winning a top prize of £250,000.

Watching "The Awakening"

Listening to "The Levellers"

Knackered got home last night and cooked a fry up , well half done in the frying pan and the other half in the oven thats the other half of the food not Helen who's my other half , she take too long to cook anyway , and is best eaten raw , spent half an hour on laptop before going to bed.

Got up at half eight eight we to Garforth for Helen to get her eyebrows done in hd i presume that means high definition they are first waxed then a cotton string is used to pull out the eye brows they are then coloured in it coast twenty five pounds i could have done it using my bic and tweezers and permanent marker pen for half that plus would have thrown in the bikini line , mars bar all for free.

Went to the White Rose shopping mall saw some shoes in Next didnt have my size bought a new watch and a new leather wallet ,We then drove in to town to go to the Next shop to get the shoes which they had then called in to the Superdry store and bought four t-shirts in size X-large well them little japanese guys are too skinny compared to Yorkshire men.




Got home cooked bacon and black pudding had it in a bread cake was hank marvin yet again.

Watching - "Leaving Las Vegas" and "Matchstick Men"

Listening to - Will i am.

Got paid yippee, been to the petrol pumps to fill the car up well half fill it perhaps, I put thirty five quid in the tank and it’s just over half full. Paid for six months road tax online £148 the joys of motoring and the M.O.T is due next month more joy, the ironic thing is I catch the bus to work because I can’t get a parking permit and don't fancy paying parking fines every day or the cost of legal parking is around £24 a day unless i park out of town be pointless, so it’s a weekly green rider for £13.

paid my mobile bill to 02 £31.00 and the virgin media bill for our internet connection ,tv and phone line was over £54. and paid the mortgage £440 ouch going down fast , could do with what i get paid a month as a weekly salary i wish,

I Bought some white Sony over ear headphones from a seller of ebay to use with the i-phone and bought also a packet of rechargeable batteries for my camera.





We went to Burger King last night would have preferred a Chinese but seeing Helen was paying I succumbed ,and the fact that we had not eaten all day help persuade me so off we went at half nine after she had finished her tarot card reading , we got side order of onion rings so artificial and some cheese balls deep fried heart attack with every bite , and a regular coke , no not diet the full calorie stuff lol , Helen got the Chicken Royale and i mentioned the film Pulp fiction and then the Michael Douglas film Falling down he,he , I know how irritating but never the less.

update on my tablet pc i am wanting to buy the new Google tablet Nexus 7 is due for release , it as a quad core four processer and is using jelly bean the latest o/s ,its price on release is to be £159 and I think I want one. The only thing putting me of is its 7 inch screen size, obvious bigger than my I phone and will be easier to carry about in my bag on the bus in my pocket etc, so it shouldn’t really put me of from getting when its released in July can see if there is going to be a 10 inch screen made available and there is no way to up the storage capacity as it has no card slot.

Helen finishes at half twelve on a Friday lucky girl i wish i did make the weekend that bit longer , Waiting for the Virgin super hub its being delivered this morning , then i will go to work for either midday or two o clock depending.

Got a call from our broadband provider we can gat a wireless super hub modem at double our internet speed than what we are running now , plus we will get more tv channels all for a extra £3.70 a month would have been rude not to.

I got a facebook request from a twat i used to work with many years ago he was a wanker then , and guess what he's still a wanker now believe me he is , so why would i want a complete tosser as a facebook friend , getting paid to work with someone and be civil to someone you grin and bear it knowing home time is getting nearer with every passing minute , you do this because of bills and to earn yourself a wage so try and understand this , i was never really your friend , you was bombastic bastard and , the only reason i would piss on you if you was on fire , is if i had the ability to piss petrol , so fcuk off and crawl back under your stone , of course i told him this via facebook messenger , and i get out of hospital next week pmsl so much i fell over and busted a rib as if .

I worked through last night and it dragged i was so tired out i was yawning tears , i nearly suffered lock jaw i was yawning with such gusto , any way a few coffees some early morning fresh air and my i- phone helped me get through the night now its Thursday and i am of until tomorrow at twelve and i might even go in at two in the afternoon i will see. , and its fcuking payday to boot , rich for a day .

Helen is doing readings all this week , and i know she is working very hard and getting tired out bless her i do appreciate the things you do , so i think i will take her out and treat her to a nice meal and a few beverages this weekend , of course i be doing it for her as i do really not want to and pig out on nice food and and get drunk on pear cider , well merry i really do not get drunk anymore , for me merry is better.

Going up the apple and pears soon cause i am cream crackered , and hank marvin but food can wait ,and will be brown bread on my feet if i dont get some bed . night all .

Dropped Helen at work today i will also be able to pick her up when she finishes at four this afternoon .On my way back home i called in at our local supermarket to get the things on Helen's shopping list i added some squirty cream for my coffees fcuk it , and a packet of digestive biscuits double fcuk it.

I don’t go in to my job until half seven tonight, I don’t mind working nights but doing just the one night loses me money if I don’t take a day’s holiday to cover my shift i would normally do that day, if i do then it turns the night shift in to over time which is paid at a higher rate which makes a big difference to the pay I receive. And as we all work for money and time off then my philosophy is the more the merrier.

This weekend i would like to go in to town visit a few bars just for a couple of bottles of Rekorderlig or Kopparberg pear cider over ice then go for a late afternoon or early evening lunch at our favourite Italian restaurant Piccolinnos or to a Indian restaurant on the docks called Mumtaz , only issue i have with Mumtaz is that they don't have a drinks license which is a bit of a bind , seeing that a pint and a curry if you have one you have the other .

deleted my favourites folder of safaris book mark bar now all my favourite sites are gone three quarters i didn’t really visit on a regular basis so i have put back all the ones i have visited recently back in to a new folder the others gone for good, what pissed me of was there was nothing asking if you wanted to delete no pop up window it just vanishes in a puff of smoke never to be seen again if you know what I mean.

its boring day its déjà vu every day apart from weekends but today slightly different work is a lot later and once i finish at six Thursday morning i have rest of tomorrow off. But as I don’t get paid until midnight tomorrow it’s a bit late to go and do any shopping,
When you get paid monthly and it’s a five week month is a long fcuking time till money drops in the old bank account too long in fact its crap.


Playing Song Pop - on Facebook with my daughter who's in New Zealand

At half six it was by the words of Bob Marley a "misty morning don't see no sun" hopefully this will burn off as the day progresses and become a scorcher , it be so nice to jump in the car with a fully loaded picnic hamper , Helen and Pip not forgetting the camera and a disposable barbecue and head for the beach and say fcuk work.

Be nice to live at the beach full stop to fish for dinner and supper and be a long haired tanned beachcomber or a sand artist or even a surfer with a camper van not that i can surf or even own a surf board or wet suit , no matter how warm the days are to surf in England even on a hot day i reckon a wet suit is a must , would make blogging that more interesting instead if this mundane existence of paying bills and running to stay in the same spot.

Helen wants to sell up and go live in the country in the hills and valleys mountains and reservoirs of the peak district i reckon we need at least fifty thousand pounds profit from the sale of this house to do it , i like to be able take and sell photographs and Helen would do her psychic readings and reiki work she has readings book for every day of this week she did extremely well last week .

Think Helen had a shit day at work yesterday hopefully today will be better think Mondays on a whole are shit days work is ok most of the time until you have days off and then go back its twice as bad , but guess that's the way for a lot of people including myself , i know Helen does not want to be there and be happy doing readings every day as its her true calling , she as done more in a month than she did in all the years living with her ex husband which was a total of 19 years that's one of the reasons why four years ago he became a ex roughly the same time as my wife also became a ex , oh well life goes on.

And to cap it all i have just put my toe through a hole in my favorite pairs of jeans so i definitely need new jeans when i get paid , i know Super dry are having a sale at the moment so i might have a look in when i get some cash this Friday the leather jackets they are currently selling look good too and at a reasonable price ,about double the price of the jeans , might just scourer the washing lines and pinch a pair i know someone who use to do that for his designer shirts and t-shirts jeans etc many moons ago i couldn't do it , knowing my luck i get some thin persons washing and caught in the process.

The olympic torch is in Leeds don't see what the fuss is 50,000 people turned up at Temple Newsam to see the torch last night , i suppose there was more point in that.Then watching England try to score penalties.

Went in to Leeds city centre yesterday dinner time and looked round a few shops its nice Helen working we have extra money she bought me a top from Primarni's and its great its that good i might go back and get another couple when i get paid .

After we went to a little girls first birthday party the baby's Grandfather was present and he was 78 years old , he will in is life time seen with out a doubt great changes take place in the last fifty years a lot as happened ,makes me wonder what the one year old baby will see during the course of her lifetime , it be amazing to see , need to be Highlander , one of the first films i watched with Helen actually bought it on dvd for her , it was from a budget dvd shop in town which is closed now not that i tend to buy dvd's anymore , i was approached by sellers in town the other day for Netflix asking if i wanted to pay to down load films how quaint i said , as if .



i am bored Helen is at work , i dropped her of just before seven this morning and i go to work at two this afternoon , as i am skint so i cant go shopping , just had some toast with strawberry jam and washed the dining things from last nights tea , i am trying to find something half interesting on the web to read but i am not having much look any one any ideas let me know what other blogs you read or web sites you cant do with out catching up on ,on a regular basis .

Watching "Weekender" and "White Elephant"

Listening to - "Flo Rida album "Wild Ones"

Things i cant live without or without doing

the national lottery - its a chance to have it all for the cost of a pound , would be instant life changing event .

Taking photos- its a way of recording now one moment in time never to be recaptured again.

My i-phone - its a camera ,my mp3 player , messenger , book reader and is my constant companion it stays with me all day and recharges on my bedside table .

Drinking coffee - if its one beverage i cant live without is my caffeine fix i must be hitting a fix every couple of hours , i would even consider working at Starbucks if i could.

Glossy magazines - the Stuff . T3 and National Geographic love the feel and smell of a brand new mag.

My Pc - would rather be on pc than watching tv also now its the best and cheapest way of speaking to my Daughter who is thousands of miles away on the other side of the world.

Indian food - my favorite food love the taste colour and smell of a curry that's cooking in the pot love the starters and deserts and i once had a curry from a different restaurant every night for three weeks whilst i was working away from home , overkill , least i was regular in more ways than one.

Helen - my Partner in crime , she is my angel and my soul mate also my saint and rock , i have never had anyone give it all up and leave everything that she had to be with and live with me ,yes we argue sometimes but we love a lot too.

Pip - my dog to replace my Jack Russell Bandit she is one of the most placid good natured dogs and never moans she can be very funny and loving and is as good as the dog i left behind .

English country side :- The Moors and Lakes we are lucky we have some great places the only draw back is the winter and rain , but we have photographed some glorious snow scenes some in the fog and rainy but best viewed on a bright hot day.

Shopping - i like to visit new shops ,and spending a day in a shopping mall is relaxing for me and there is always Starbucks and food outlets and it does not matter what the weather is and the parking is free.

Music - i love finding and discovering albums with every track is a good one usually Coldplay , Keane and James .

Autobiography - finding out how other people live what they buy where they go and with you is fascinating and compelling , Steve jobs was the last one i read currently reading American sniper he achieved the highest number of kills in the American forces he was in a Seal special forces unit.

Films - the ultimate way to switch of and relax last decent film i watched Safe House .
Payday - like the feeling of earning money and cant do without that you got have money to survive and battle on even living on the streets you need money or they be no beggars , its a constant war , but we are getting there.

My Car - its freedom it gets us out of here and in to there and beyond , all you need is a full tank of fuel and a credit card with no limit and i be away .


Buying on Ebay - love getting a bargain and free postage and love getting parcels through the mail.

Chocolate - apart from hot chocolate drinks and including milkshakes and ice cream which i hate , cant live without chocolate white and milk no plain , specially after a curry i crave chocolate.

Ice cold pear cider - over ice and for a extra kick just add vodka.

We are of to Manchester its raining in Leeds its got to be raining in Manchester England's wettest city or is that just a myth. , as we are setting of the sun is breaking through but its still windy and not convinced its going to be shining that long.





On the way we stopped of at Compo's cafe for fish and chips it was about half past one and was nearly three o clock when we got to the Trafford Centre Manchester .





Helen bought some sunglasses that had been reduced i wonder why i asked my self Helen forever being the optimist well as i am the pessimist .well i did by a barbecue more fool me q few weeks ago , She also got a top from the All Saints shop and some green tea perfume the shops shut at eight and it was after ten when we got home we left the rain behind in Manchester .

Above pictures are the main entrance to the Trafford centre Manchester , the main dome and the dolphin fountain , one of many fountains throughout the mall the water from the centre of this shoots up about sixty feet.

Went to the Sainsburys supermarket in the city , chicken reggae reggae pasties reduced to £1.28p then further reduced to 68p so i bought two it would have been rude not to , then i went to the local pound shop and bought two bottles of Pepsi for a pound the best thing about our shitty windowless minuscule office with the tatty carpet and out dated pc , is the fridge as it gets a bottle of coke or water well chilled and ice cold in just over a hour to two hours .

Went to WHSmiths to look at new releases in the paper back book section so i then can down load a sample on i-tunes to see if i want the book , a lady was buying three of the same books E.L.James "Shades of Grey" very strange obviously someone wanted her to get them a copy , a new James Patterson novel or two out for summer no surprise there plus a couple of books writing by him and other co author's , James Patterson must write every second of every day , i bet he cant get to sleep with all the ideas he as for crimes , murders and serial killers , i reckon there must be more than one James Patterson and its a brand not a person with fifty writers churning out books for future release.

I want to see a tablet operating windows 8 when it finally gets released also want to see the new i-phone we are two versions behind with the phone we have the 4 had just come out when we was due a upgrade but the cost on contract was a bit too much so we got the 3g version , so this time round it be nice to get the new i-phone 5 rather than the 4s depending on price.



More than that i want a decent weekend would like to do something different its ages since we have been to the movies to see a decent film on a full size mega screen with surround sound , i fancy seeing another one in 3d trouble is i do fall asleep cant help it its how i am .

Fancy a carbonarra tagliatelle with extra white wine and cream with fresh baked baguette's over the weekend for a tea or supper it would be nice to eat out in the garden on the patio if it wasn't for this crappy weather .

Kris, Helen's other son and his girlfriend are calling round to night for a sleep over be nice to have had a barbecue and chill out in the garden fat chance think this rain is going to last a few more days yet.
