Thought about starting this up again.  Are any of my livejournal buddies still there?!  Leave a comment and let me know.

So we’ve moved into a new flat. The old flat had damp problems that were getting out of control, even had mushrooms sprouting out of kitchen walls and cabinets. I mean that was the final straw for me. The landlords aren’t bad people, but they just don’t have the money to make repairs. Took 5 years from first asking to finally getting a new ( Read more... )

Well I haven't posted in a while, so what's been happening.

1. I'm still employed after 6 months at the same job. For the past few years, that's pretty good going for me. After a few months a new position came up, which I went for and got. I did work non-stop weekends, but now I'm back on a regular 9 - 5 Monday - Friday work pattern which I am very ( Read more... )

Going through old journal entries today and found this survey from way back in 2008 after I’d been with Lynsey for a short while. 5 years later I thought I’d do it again.

1. She's sitting in front of the TV, what is on the screen?

The Simpsons, Ripper Street, Broadwalk Empire, Here Comes Honey Boo Boo, something about sharks or crocodiles, Swamp ( Read more... )

I don’t eat sweets, chocolate, cakes, desserts, pastries, ice cream, basically I don’t eat anything that’s sweet. Apparently this is odd as no-one else I know seems to share this aversion to sugar. It’s not a weight-watching thing or that I’m taking care of my teeth, I just don’t like the taste of sugar. Obviously there’s still sugar in my diet as ( Read more... )

Picked up GTA5 (Grand Theft Auto 5) when it came out, well I had it pre-ordered.  Haven't been able to play it that much as there's only one tv in the house and Lynsey and I watch a lot of TV programmes together and it's a bit selfish to make her watch me play it.  Don't get me wrong, it's a good game, but it's not as revoluntionary as people are ( Read more... )

I got made redundant from my new job in Washington.  Called into the office and let go on Wednesday.  Had to leave right away after handing in my key and security pass.  No problem with my performance, just the company had to make redundancies.  Went back to the flat and had a last night out with my flatmates and then just came home on the thursday ( Read more... )

Found a little run around nearby.  A Ford Ka for 345 pounds.  Had a go in it and it drives great.  MOTed and taxed.  I've put a deposit down, just need to find out what's happening with my other car.  The garage has it so hopefully someone will phone me today and tell me what's going on.

So I got offered a job.  It's with GAC, a freight forwarder in Newcastle.  On Monday they actually sent the manager up to Hawick to meet me, rather than have me go down there.  The following day I was offered the job.  No problem right ( Read more... )

Moving on from Lynsay to Seana.  There's not really much else to say about her which I haven't in the past.  For those not in the know, ex-wife, psychopath who submitted me to a horrendous four years of phsyical, mental and emotional abuse which lead to counselling and me being one step shy of a full-blown alcoholic.  She was completely nuts.  It's ( Read more... )
