    Thanks Beanie.

    I'm looking forward to it.

    SB's computer is having problems. Needs a new graphics card and fan. Choices were £150 for a medium spec card with fitting, testing etc or £200 for a high spec. He's going to pay for it himself from the weekly wage we give him here as he's being saving it up in case something important came along.

    Feeling very proud that he's not asked me for a penny, he's negotiated with the PC shop to understand his options, he's worked thru exactly what's best for him and he's the savings to pay for it.

    That would never have happened a year ago - go SB :T

    Pain's back. No idea why this has suddenly flared up...my back is definitely objecting to have a bloody great needle and drain stuck in it. Odd thing is why it took 2 1/2 days to start hurting like this, you'd think it would be much faster.

    Anyhoo...Oramorph and Solpedine taken as I am going to see Despicable Me. SB has volunteered to drive so I can just relax in a little junkie stupour :rotfl:

    Have to add another job to my to do list which is ebay the Android Phone O2 sent me. Upgrade was 50p a month for 2 years, so £12 pounds. Phones sell for £150 - £200 on ebay and the guy on the phone actively encouraged me to do it. Also said to take the white one as they fetch the highest resell price. Now I have to remember how to do it :rotfl: Will list after holiday so I'm around to answer questions and then ship.

    Asked Accountant to chase SSP again yesterday. They can't get hold of HMRC, ueries are going unanswered. But I'm due from 1st Feb so that's in the region of £1600+.

    DLA have likewise never finalised my appeal. Had one payment of £84. That's all I've received in total since 1st Feb. Thank goodness I had some savings otherwise creek and paddle come to mind.

    Still planning on taking summer off and getting a good rest in before I start job hunting in September (assuming they don't want to operate again or restart chemo) - shudder.

    It's been a rotten day sickness wise. Probably from the oramorph I've been taken for my back. Can't win really but it will pass.

    I've heard nothing from the homeless department yet about the hash-tenant. I feel stuck between a rock and a hard place...there is no balance at all between rights and responsibilities. :mad:

    Yes thanks. Pains really subsided so haven't used morphine. It makes me feel very sick but I was in a lot of pain...can't win tbh.

    Hello world.

    Feeling a lot better today and popped along to do my first ever yoga class. I was definitely the whippersnapper but not too surprising as it was 11am on a weekday. It did involve a lot of relaxation time which was good as my shoulder and chest too exception to stretching too far.

    On hols next week so will miss next class, but will be there for the one after. I've to text her me email and she's going to send me some links to other yoga and relaxation things I can look at.

    Need to go garage hunting tonight. I have one property which has a garage but in another street which isn't included on the lease. If it appears wind and water tight I could store Hash-Tenant's stuff there until he get's his act together. Problem is I can't remember which garage it is and I've no idea where the padlock key is.

    Well Hash-tenant is trying to have me done for illegal eviction. The fact he'd moved out by his own admission, wasn't paying rent and had trashed the place don't seem to count. I really could do without this aggravation :mad:

    Mad-tenant's son has written me a really rational letter asking for a copy of the lease and confirmation of amounts paid. I can do that.

    Then I'm going to stick on an out-of-office message and !!!! it down until after my holiday. I'm finding stress very difficult to cope with at the moment.
