Money? What’s That?

Had another set back yesterday on my mission to vacate my current accommodation, seems Abbey (bank) have forgotten an agreement we made on settling an account and handed it over to some quite blood thirsty debt collection agent! I am not very tactful when I have some Twatty Oik telephoning me and demanding a ridiculous sum of money there and then, especially when they lie to you about your rights, tell you it’s pointless contacting Abbey as it’s now in the hands of the collection agents. They told me my account had been closed, so I asked them where all the money I have been paying (as agreed) has been going and they then tell me I need to contact Abbey (huh! did you not just tell me contacting them was pointless?) and in the meantime pay the outstanding sum in full,Yeah Right! Oh and interestingly when I mentioned to them that a lump of the sum was bank charges of which I am going to be disputing, they decided to let me know Abbey had agreed that if I payed the amount off in total, they would waive 440 pounds!

Anyway enough moaning, bought a new radio, Yaesu FT-2800M, seems pretty good, will be putting it in the motor over the weekend, I have an antenna just need the mount which I’ll be ordering online tonight.

That’s about it, I’m off to put my head through a mincer.

One Day I Will Be Free!

Not much point in making an entry today. Not bad day at work though stepping over all the other trades was quite irritating. Still fed up with no space, I gain some scrap of enthusiasm to get on and do something and it all gets washed away when I remember I have no RooM! It is true to say I do not function when I have 3cm squared of worktop/floor/storage space and it has to be multipurpose otherwise I would be getting dressed in the street. Actually, I’m now seeing it as quite pathetic, I came from the Isle of Wight and a very large house all open plan with several areas that could be adapted for anything that needed to be done to a poxy 6′ 6″ x 8′ (into the recess!) room. Downgraded? A little. So what is it I am supposed to do here apart from get the hell out?!

There are lots of things I don’t bark on about here that affect my everyday well being, mainly because it involves people who may one day read this and it is true to say that this, albeit dragging on a bit, is a temporary state I am living in and therefore wouldn’t be a true representation of my feelings towards certain people. Nonetheless my patience is tried and although I try to keep a lid on my disappointment I am becoming a little more bitter and somewhat more cynical day by day.
