Quit..rest ..restart . Diary no.3

Hello Anna:)
Wishing you a great new year . It seems not a bad time to talk to the creditors once again , as January is the month of misery for most when it comes to finances . Hopefully they’ll be more sympathetic and eventually you can move on from that and that will be a great feeling

Lovely day today, unlike yesterday which was miserable.Fair enough it was cloudy all day, but it was 70/30 as to whether it would be a downpour if I went out . So I stayed in.

Got some minor jobs one in the flat over the last few days.
When I had my blinds fitted the fitter removed the curtain rails and for a few months the bedroom and living room had marks where they were and I kept putting it off incase I spilt paint on the furniture. Sorted that out at last.i also finally put a long mirror up in the hallway , taking it out of the bedroom as the spot it was in was not right after moving everything around one more time . Funny really regarding the bedroom . There is clutter in there which will have to be sorted this week which will mean I’m 95% done on everything in the flat.

The bedroom looks much better to walk into. However, sleeping in that arrangement is still taking a while to get used to. I looked at Houzz and Pinterest etc to see about Murphy beds / beds for below bay windows etc but so far am carrying on with the new arrangement
I have a couple of prints being delivered over the next few days. One is rothko. I also ordered a volcano picture in canvas instead of a framed print . Just fancied doing it . Will finally sort out 5he music room in the next few days . Just trying to Box clever with the boxes.

James will be seeing to the tile problem in bathroom . He said I’m covered for six months . Not sure if I’m passed that, but I did tip,him now and again for the good work and help he provided .
I’m going to ask him for a quote for kitchen cupboards . I know I have to take things easy, but if I can get something for under a £1,000 then it would be a great move imho. It would mean I’ve ticked all the boxes for the flat . I did incredibly well with the whole flat from top to bottom so this would be the icing on the cake etc.

I’m going through my collection of 7” records and will offload a few onto fleabay. I don’t bother with those. I have a couple of iron maiden pic discs . I bought a Gary glitter one for 20p, but think the bin is now the best place for that. When I was in really hard times less than 2 years ago, I sold iron maidens first ever single ‘the soundhouse tapes’
I got £380 for it . Seeing as I paid only £1.20 for it ( I think) I did well. What I did sell not when I was in difficulty , was a white label test pressing of Metallica’s first single. Bought it in Camden markrt for £1.20. I met them and got it signed along with a poster. Made over £1200. When the recession hits though you never know what price you may get . Same with my rare fender bass I sold around March 2016 when I was struggling . I have a small box of 4cds that Metallica did of the Black album . I’ll list those as the box looks manky and that I’ve transferred them to MP3 anyway .

Been gym on Monday and personal trainer is happy . Went today. Intend to go Friday also.

Glad you’re imto your candles too worrier Walker .

So I got myself ready for the gym this morning. As I was walking up the road, there was a bit of sand along on the pavement . Fair enough
the ground is a little damp . A male dog walker was approaching and I slipped. I remained upright . Got a funny look and carried on walking.
Carried on walking until I was almost at the traffic lights at branksome roundabout. I then fell spectacularly. The chavvy woman approaching me just gave a dirty look. I managed to get up instantly. A man standing by a wall saw me. I walked up and just said it must be my new trainers. He asked if I was ok.

I was gonna carry onto the gym. I looked down and saw the knee of my track suit bottoms ripped and my right knee and hands has a little gash and some blood,so I returned home. I put some discenfectant on my self . Dettol seems hard to come by around here. It’s either sainsbury or. M&S own brands.
I’m holding frozen chicken mince ( ugh) in my left hand..
Not the best start to the day.
Where are the plasters?

Thanks for all the well wishes . Something like that :rotfl:
I’m fine . I’ve done a lot worse. I approached the guy ,and then he asked if I’m ok. I didn’t want to look too odd so to speak.
I wouldn’t be surprised though if I get a note from the Council for damaging their pavement. The bigger you are etc..:)
Maybe it was the sand . Maybe it was the new trainers? 2 slips in 5 mins .
Uncanny Scott , it’s all part of it . Take it on the chin, and get ribbed afterwards:rotfl:

Gigervamp, I remember germolene and liked that . I don’t remember iglodene though. I’ve got an absorbent mind ,so I’m quite surprised by that. Was it for use in the North Pole ?:)

I found the ‘boots emergency kit’ and plastered myself up and used the antiseptic wipes. Palm is bruised above the ball of the thumb, and a slight swelling under little finger on left hand.That and the right knee took all the impact . When you get to a certain age , the tendons are a little sore. I’ve done a lot worse. I’ll live:rotfl:
