All rather over stated about Facebook, it’s just kind of dead this evening.

Am getting most keen to have another grandson on the scene and, better yet, to have both my new grandsons on the scene. Am seriously hoping I am not too shattered to be of any use to anyone!

Hurting like hell most days, just not enough rest really and a lot of stress muscle knotting .. may have to find the money from somewhere to make a visit to Caroline.

Holiday only a month away now, well, a month and a day … sort of looking forward to it but, nervous at the same time of what may happen at home when I am gone.

The ‘finances’ are looking bleak, serious efforts have to be made to stop spending at the rate we are else we’ll be in trouble (which we’re not yet)

Probably off to Macro tomorrow, see if I can save some cash on bulk purchases … am thinking beef and pork, shall have to see

The amazing thing is, last time we were only half way through June!

OK, Sean has a job, Javis has moved back home again (14 July), Anne is still pregnant as is Daisy. We have a tank full of tropical fish now, two cold water fish, two hamsters, three rats, two cats and two snakes. Did I have the Seat Copa last time? Not sure, if not then, we do now.

The current MPG is 43, far better than the Renault.

I went back up to Suffolk again for work and relaxation, very enjoyable and restful it was too.

The meeting with Social Services went well and the social worker allowed a little extra to cover the amount I would have to contribute and encourage me to be constructive with the accounting to cover the costs. Also, with Zoey in mind, the DWP have decided that, despite the note from the doctor stating she was ‘fit for work’ that she really isn’t a suitable candidate for employment. Annoyingly though, they won’t increase her benefit level until September! That’s around £70 a week we won’t be getting for all that time.

Still enjoying my photography though I am not getting enough practise if I am entirely honest.

I became a Godfather for the second time to Trystan

Yesterday I went to visit Tony’s grave

I got weepy, like I always do. On the way back to the car though, his daughter Trish, who lives in Tony’s old cottage, popped out and invited me in. Made my day to be recognised and welcomed liked that. It has been 6 years now, a stupid amount of time.

Where has the time gone?

This Tuesday we get the new car, I want to get excited but, not there yet.

Health problems are still annoying me muchly. Too much pain for too long.

Happy to have Jasmine along as part of the family now. She really is quite lovely and her and Javis work so amazingly well together.

My birthday was lovely, more so for the friends and family than anything else, birthdays are always about who we love to me.

Have an important meeting with social services tomorrow, I hope that goes as well as it should.

Sean starts work at the end of the month … yay! His college grades were good too. He has a lot to be proud of himself for but, he’s not there yet so don’t get too big headed, this means you are firmly on the road to somewhere rather than wandering down a dark alley like you were a couple of years back.

Trust and Honesty are still my two main expectations in life. As long as we all keep to the truth we can work anything out.

I am, at the moment, able to sit down without swearing, this is a result!

I LOVE FUDGE!!!
