I'm sorry for not updating lately
Just really haven't had the muse for the pc atall
My neighbour over the road had his house broken into yesterday. I was in all day from 11am, till he knocked on the door about midnight to ask if we'd seen anything. I feel guilty in a way because I was in all day I feel like it was done right under my nose and I didn't see anything.
In other news the postman rudely woke me and M up this morning by knocking on the door at 7.20am, wasn't amused, and couldn't get back to sleep either. Wouldn't have minded so much but we didn't go to bed until 2am lol
The Inland Revenue need to sort themselves out, when I got my annual review, they apparently paid me too much, I got a letter yesterday saying I was paid too little and they will pay me the difference. I got myself all excited, rang them up asking how much it would be, and when I'll get it. It got paid into my bank account yesterday he said (cue more excitement from me) and the total amount repaid is.....(wait for it)......15 pounds...woooohoooooooo!!! [/gross sarcasm]
Charlotte has been with my mum all this week, so in the evenings when M is at work I've been having me time and just generally farting about with various beauty products and being a complete vegetable for a week (apart from when I'm at work, it's been really busy and I've been running about like a headless chicken all shift)
And that is literally all my news of the past fortnight or so heh, wow |

I'm at my brothers house, things are remarkably calm, matt is currently printing off the hymns. There is apparently going to be a choir to drown all the guests out, so i thought i'd pay a tribute to my hero Eddie Izzard and sing 'hallelujah hallelujah, joyfully we lark about' all the way through the ceremony..Comedy genius!

Oh dear, Sassy does it again
miscalculation of the finances and I'm skint till a week on Thursday
The important bits are all paid, rent, car tax and food for the week, but, I was also planning on paying for Charlottes bridesmaid dress, which I now can't do
And stupid Sassy here forgot to account for petrol and food for next week too
So yeah, Sassy is in the doo doo
I'm sure M can lend me some money, he always offers, but then it just puts me in catch-up when I do get paid as I'll have to pay him back aswell as get the petrol and food for the coming fortnight too, so it doubles
M pays 410 of the 475 a month rent, plus he pays all the household bills like leccy and water etc, so it's not as if he's making me pay for food or anything, that was our agreement, I would pay 65 of the rent, and get the food for us all each week, the rest he covers, so paying him back is a must, he can't afford to get anything else on top of what he's already paying.
It's the car tax that's stung me, 92 bloomin quid, it's only once every 6 months, but this was the month I didn't need the outlay, but then again, I think every month I don't need a 92 quid outlay lol
It'll come good, always does, I just feel like a pillock for miscalculating everything, but at least the important stuff is paid for
I'm just thinking of Nigels life philosophy and not letting it get to me, I'm keeping optimistic, I've been in worse situations with money
Work was a long old haul today, did my longest shift ever there, a 7am start till 3pm, I usually do 9 or 10am till 3, so my feetsies are sore, I got some new shoes for work a few weeks ago, but with my time off and I've been sent home early alot lately I'm still not used to them
Charlotte has her physiotherapy appointment tomorrow, for some odd reason I didn't post about her hospital appointment just over a week ago
Charlotte has alot of pain in her ankle after walking for a little while, it sometimes gets into her knee and hip too, and I noticed when she walked her ankles sort of lean in
The doctor at the hospital diagnosed her with flat feet, basically her arches haven't developed yet.
She's having special innersouls made to put in her shoes to help support her foot, and tomorrow's physiotherapy appointment is going to teach us some exercises she can do at home to help strengthen her feet and (hopefully) ease her pain somewhat.
The doctor said he didn't want Charlotte to get the idea that something was "wrong" with her, so it'll be this one physiotherapy appointment, and the rest is at home, and then there will be periodic visits back to the hospital to see how her arches are progressing.
My brothers 4 year old daughter Ashleigh also has flat feet, and I have alot of arch pain too, my P.E teacher from school always told me I had "fallen arches" so I'm wondering if it's a family thing, when my mum walks her ankles lean in just like Charlottes I noticed the other day..hmm can flat feet be hereditary?
Anyway, that's me for now, got some food shopping to unpack! |

Morning :o)
Had a lovely evening last night, M bought a patio table and 2 chairs and we got a barbecue and ate outside, weather was gorgeous, it was dark as M didn't get home till 9.30pm, but we have a fab spotlight thingy in the garden and it lights up the garden perfectly, we had ceasar salad, bbq marinated beef steaks, burgers, doner lamb kebabs, and some garlic and herb sausages and tomato and mozerella sausages, some fresh bakery sesame seed buns, and not forgetting a bottle of white hehe.
We sat outside for about 2 hours just eating and talking.
Sounds silly but me and M don't talk much, well, we do talk obviously lol , but last night we spoke about his work, my work, his dads place in Spain, and just general life stuff, whereas normally we're in front of the telly so conversation is short and sweet. Don't get me wrong, it's not as if we barely say 2 words to eachother all day and that, we do communicate, but I think it's mainly because we normally eat our dinner in front of the TV, we generally just eat and watch rather than turn the telly off and eat.
lol, I've made it out to sound really bad, but I can't think of a better way to describe it!
I got my annual review thingy back from the Inland Revenue regarding my tax credits, the fuckers have docked £150 a month off me, this time last year I was nearly £600 a month better off, here I am now with a job that pays 50p an hour less, and I'm doing 4 less hours a week, figure that one out, because I bloody can't.
But, I'm taking Nigels philosophy on and just working my finances around it, it's pointless complaining and whining about it, it's not gonna make the IR pay me it, so I have to workaround it and ride it out till better things come along. I sat down yesterday and worked out all my incomings and outgoings and I can manage without the 150, so cest la vie!
Vicky, cheers for that link you left in your LJ for me, funny as fuck, I literally almost wet myself laughing, so ta muchly, and have a fab day on Sunday ;o)
Captain Plonka, I'll make a "congratulations, you're an asshole!" card for you and send it to your chosen recipient, so just lemme know the name and address ;o) , sorry for not texting back yesterday, I didn't stop all day yesterday, Fridays are driving days, and I drove for most of it

I've had a really good weekend so far
Nigel, M's dad came over from Spain (where he retired) for his sisters 70th birthday, it's the first time we've seen him since Christmas and I miss him, I pretty much treat him like my own dad, as I've never really had one. Nigel misses M very much, it's a bit of a long complicated story, but Nigel didn't really have alot of say in the matter about retiring to Spain, and M is his only son, so it's hard on the both of them.
But there is a story about Nigel I would like to tell you about, because it's a lovely story, and it makes you realise just what some people do for others in the world, I'll put it behind a cut if you don't want to read it tho :)
( Nigel, Maureen, and Ted )
We arrived at Maureens house yesterday and Nigel was sat on her bench outside the house reading the paper, and he looked up and saw us both, and out came the biggest smile I've seen from him and he said "There's my boy!", it really was the loveliest sight to see them hug.
We stayed at Maureens for a while and then we took Nigel back to see our new house and he loved it. Then he took us out to lunch at the local hungry horse and it was fantastic, not just the food, but the atmosphere between all of us and the company.
When we were eating we were just discussing life in general and Nigel made me see things about life alot better, he's very much in the believing that life isn't a rehearsal, you get one shot, so make every single thing you do the best you can make it. And Nigel is the perfect candidate to enhance that theory, he got to Spain with virtually nothing, he's now working back in property (he had a very successful building company in England) and financially he's comfortable, he's remarried, and he's really happy.
He knows me and M are struggling financially at the moment and he just said to keep plugging away, and you always come out on the other side, and always be patient and you will always get what you want.
It sounds funny, but I accepted the philosophy alot better from him than I would from others because I know he's living proof of what he says, and he's always been someone I really look up to and highly respect.
He wants us to go over and see him soon, so we're going to look up some prices so we can get out there and spend some more time with him. Nigel said he'd help with the tickets if we need it. We're hopefully going around late September/early October time.
We only spent about 3 hours with Nigel before he had to go back, but he has really changed my outlooks lately, I've been getting myself in such a state recently because of finances and other things in life, and I feel like he's recharged my body with faith and hope.
I miss him, he's not even my dad and I'm sat here in tears because I miss him |

The dread is definitely setting in about transferring, new people, new place, new managers. I can never go into a new place and just be me, I sort of go in there dead quiet, polite, and then gradually as I'm there longer, the clown in me comes out. I sometimes go into that McDonald's to eat, and typical of McDonald's, it's a very young work group, and I'm wondering if I'll fit in, at my current store, there are a few older crew members, so far apart from the store manager I haven't seen anyone that looks over 18. It's not a problem as such, but I am wondering how I'll relate to them, and well, how they'll relate to me really. But I am hoping my age will give me an extra advantage at chances of promotion tho, I must admit I did seem stuck in a rut at my current store, there have been people there that have been promoted to training squad that have never done a shift in kitchen ever, I'm skilled in every single area. Ah well, I'll know soon enough once I'm there, it doesn't really help with the fact that I'm being forced to go there, and I'm not going out of choice so that's gonna make me automatically resent the place no matter what :o/
I feel better today, still some nagging ailments, hunger but no appetite (if that makes sense), my lower back is still killing, slight nausea and the womb ache (lol) but much milder and more tolerable than yesterday.
I slept in till 11.25 today, I don't think I've ever slept that late, as nice as it was, it's really made my day off go too quickly, I can't believe it's 4pm already! |

Got this years council tax bill today, because the letting agents/landlord didn't inform the relevant people and we're now paying 11 months worth in 9 months, which gives a lovely total of £116 per month, the first being due in 2 weeks time
erm, can you magic up 120 quid in 2 weeks? Cuz we fuckin can't.
So I made one of the hardest decisions I've had to make today and applied to transfer to a closer to McDonald's to save me on petrol. I'm currently using £30 a week, if I work at the closer McDonald's I could probably half it, maybe even more, which will give me the £14.50 a week I need to pay my half of the bill.
I was in tears at work, I really don't want to transfer, but I don't have any choice. Everyone there is my mate, not a workmate, I have such a good laugh there everyday I'm there. I'm going to miss them all so so much, I'm absolutely gutted about the whole thing, I'm pretty much on the top tier for pay so there's no way around a pay rise, a promotion to Training Squad was on the cards for me, but the rate for that is the same as what I'm getting now, so it wouldn't have made a difference. Weekends were offered to me, but that would just mean I would be commuting there even more times a week, so it defeats the object. Everyone there was trying to come up with ideas so I can stay there, but there's just no work around. I strongly got the impression they didn't want me to go either, I'm the clown there, I'm always the one pissing about and just generally making everyone laugh all day.
I have my annual PR in September, and Dan , one of the managers there said he would be very surprised if I got anything less than "Excellent" rating, which means a 4.5% pay rise, what is 4.5% of £4.50 an hour? I'm useless with percentages.
So yeah, to say I'm feeling absolutely gutted would be an understatement, the best place I've ever ever worked, and all because of one bill, I have to leave.
I'm going cuz the tears are coming again |
