    one yr on...
    well near as damn it anyway...omg i cant believe its been so long since i waffled on here and so much has changed.

    so...stephs 18th birthday came and went...had a lovely tie...nice meal out....and a week later she moved out of home mainly due to the good old social taking all my benefits away and claiming that as steph was now a working adult in the house it would be her responsibility to pay the rent/council tax and bills....she lives happily mmostly with a group of mates and enjoys her freedom and i enjoy the tidiness.

    cj is ok....still working in his garage job so thats great....no longer a child physically...taller than me and kinda manly which is wierd yet sometimes still a little boy when hes hurt or upset and struggles with how to deal with those times...its always nice when he occasionally comes up for a hug for no reaqson...

    karen and i still going strong...we went to greece in may and had a wonderful time indeedy. she finally moved in with me in june and its been great...the kids have settled in surprizingly well aand we created cj a bedroom in the 'shed' room so hes happy and they all have their own bedrooms so can have space from eachother when needed.

    the animal population has risen to over 30 now that karen is living here as her beasts came with her lol...we have 1 dog,9 cats with a kitten due in 2 weeks time lol...9 degus,9 hamsters,2 mice and 1 bearded dragon...we have had a visit from r.s.p.c.a after a bitter so called friend claimed to them that my cats were undernourished and flea ridden and the rodents were in dirty cramped cages etc...the woman roared with laughter when she saw the animals...said they were perfectly looked after etc and there was deffo no case there...an hr later someone from council was on doorstep having recieved a complaint about the excessive amount of animals in the house...again on seeing them all she said there was nothing to worry about and case closed...fucking annoying busy bodies...all my animals are loved,played with and spoiled so no one can ever say any different...my house doesnt smell or anything and as the rodents are all caged they dont encroach on my neighbours or bother them...one of my cats has kinda moved in next door but thats no problem with either of us lol and my other neighbours cat comes in here when she wants so again no problem there.

    anyhow...am off now to watch big brother.

    laters peeps

    deja vu
    so..here i am again after yet another pointless row that started off cus i dared suggest she ask her fucking son to do something other than sit on his arse at the pc.

    i dont wish him dead...im not that horrid...just out of my life would be nice...then we might stand a chance of us actually having a life!...as it stands atm i cant even go to her house when hes there cus he starts off on one.

    why cant i just find someone,fall in love and it be uncomplicated.

    so...my life so far
    um....well to be honest not much has changed in the last yr or so...

    Steph is coming up to 18yrs old...drinks way to much alcohol,spends way to much money and thinks this house is really a hotel...but all in all shes a great kid/woman...she is working 25 hrs a week but is hoping to get more hrs now that some of the other peeps are going away to uni etc..the bad point of this is that my benefits for her will be axed soon...just waiting for the social to let me know what degree of poverty they plan on leaving me in...i know i know...time to get a job etc...but its just soooooooooooooooo scary and theres not a lot going right now for someone who hasnt worked in 18yrs,has mental health problems but still owns a brain and cant do shit all....still im sure something will; turn up...i am looking but no luck so far.

    Cj is a bit better,he now 14yrs old...controlling his temper slightly better nowadays...he goes back to school on thursday but is only allowed to go 3 days a week and even then not in main stream...he will be going into a small group of kids who also have problems with school,same teacher,same classroom all day so he gets the continuaty he needs...the other two days he will be doing work experience. this he is doing in a garage which he loves,its the perfect environment for someone like cj,physical work,greasy,in a very male environment messing around with cars all day. he has been working there on a saturday for a couple of mths now thx to my next door neighbour and they agreed to take him on for his work experience so they get free labour and he gets loads of training,when hes 16 he hopes to be offered an apprentiship so thats all good.

    Animal wise...i am up to 6 cats,1 dog,1 gerbil and 1 bearded dragon!

    myself and k still together,although sometimes i wonder why!...its hard,her son hates me and i dont think much of him either...hes a lazy shit who thinks the world revolves around him and i wont tolerate that...and we have both accepted while he lives at home there is no way we can get married and live together so im am very much now at the dont look forward to any future,jjust take each day ass it comes,which is working atm to save my sanity cus it was getting hard and painful beating my head against a brick wall as far as her son goes...anyway...am going to go bed now...cj is up at 6 to go to work...poo.

    blabbering
    so...here I sit...waffling to k on msn and twitting around n the net so thought I would stop by here for brief update...where shall I start...been a shit week,..what with CJ's court appearence, bloody write up in the local newspaper and all the flack that came with that....fighting with Karen and seriously doubting wether or not we would recover...not feeling too well...

    so...court...that was a fun morning...NOT!!!!!!!!!!!....was due to go in at 9.45 and didnt enter the courtroom until 12.30 at least ...mainly due to a silly little bitch having a paddy and pissing the magistrate off so he went off to cool down....though not enough cus we went in afterwards and got the brunt of his paddy...the other little shit who did the actual burglary and theft and vandalism and who admitted it to the police and admitted that all cj did was enter the house then leave didnt already have a final warning from the police so didnt have to go to court and couldnt be sued for compensation so the full blame and fine fell on cj's/my shoulders....he also got a 6mt referral order...which is kinda like kiddie parole and if he fucks that up he will go back to court and have a supervision order where he hasd a curfew etc and if that gets fucked up its youth offenders institute....was unimpressed at having to pay the full compo....but am making him pay it back to me at £10 a mth...which isnt much but basically all the set money he gets....i think then...cus of the stress and all the barbed comments from K....it all got on top of me wednesday when the story was in the bloody local rag...with piccies and so i had a massive row with karen...mainly about her bloody moodswings which leave me confused and walking on eggshells...told her she was acting like a kid and to fuck off....didnt speak to her all day thursday...had myself a duvet day and read most of the new harry potter...saw her friday and kinda rowed again....about her bloody son this time....and we seem to be ok atm....though i guess a lot is unsead and to be honest i cant be arsed rowing and banging my head against brick walls so will remain unsead.

    is Cjs birthday today....by rights and if my dad and k had their ways it would go totally ignored and no gifts...but im not like that...hes being punished now by the courts and i see no point in constantly making digs at him etc as that makes everyone miserable and just prolongs things...he knows my views on the situation and knows how pissed off i am...so y keep ranting at him...it wont change things...hes off to stay with my mad mate j tomorrow for a few days to give us all a break and time to move on...

    anyhow...thats about it really...am bloody tired all the time atm and pretty fed up and thinking 'harming' thoughts constantly which sucks cus i should just do it really and then realize it wont change things.

    later taters

    Cj got court date...23rd July...oh joy...I expect he will get a nice fine which i will have to pay off cus obviously hes got no money...

    Little bastards from neighbourhood have taken to lobbing stones at the windows and managed to smash one last night...have reported to police etc but doubt it will stop them.

    so...here i sit again on k's pc as I still dont have one...time to chat up the legal loan sharks called Provident for some pennies and purchase a new one...or i will never survive the summer hols.

    So life in amberville potters on as usual...animals all doing well though my baby jasper was very poorly last week and spent his days lying on the sofa sneezing and limping when he walked and crying if touched...much better now and back to doing his manly things about the neighbouhood.

    shabear came down for her visit...long overdue i have to say!...she bout the child and boyfriend at the last minute...which i was a bit dubious about but turned out ok actually...he was more chatty then before and much better that i expected so thats cool...she is back down next week to pick up her kitty that she managed to con her bf into letting her have...along with some help from my old lady marmite who plonked herself on his lap when he arrived and rarely left it...lol....she doesnt know yet but she may be taking 2 kittys back with her cus one of the other people who was having one might not be allowed...so time will tell!

    Steph good...prom went fine...she looked lovely...will get pics sorted when i can...cj still a little shit...arrested again a few weeks ago...this time for burglary....social services still wont fucking take himn tho...told them to fuck off out my house in the end when the useless bitch informed me she was now off duty and to contact the emergancy number if i needed 'help'...social services have a funny def of help tho i am learning..god its gonna be a bloody long 6 weeks!!!!

    right...time to strim her ladyships jungle of a garden then scootle home and see how much mess steph has left before she went to work.

    1:13 pm
    13lbs in weight lost so far...not been too hard really...but starting to get frustrated that its coming off slowly (though i know thats better)and that it doesnt show yet...but i know realistically i need to lose at least 3 stones before theres any noticable difference.

    Sha and coel down in a couple of weeks...will be nice to see her cus she aint been here in forever!!!!!!

    Getting new pets at weekend...my house is starting to resemble noahs ark!!!...2 baby bunnies and a baby guinea pig...they are sooooooooooooo sweet though dunno yet what guinea pig will be named.

    pc still fucked...again a frustration although more peaceful at home with one less thing for the kids to row about.

    steph has left school...been working full time and knackered with it but im proud of her for doing her bit etc....cj excluded again today for telling a teacher to fuck off...little sod...hes been doing so wel lately.

    hey ho.

    12:21 am
    so
    am still pc less....starting to get to me now....not that i was on it much anyway but it was always nice having the option...now i dont have the option unless i am round someones house...currently round k's mums house waiting for the gas man to come do something to her fire...then round to my mums for lunch.

    Got Stephs prom stuff on friday....beautiful dress...ivory,off shoulder with wrap....kinda made me see how beautiful she will look if she ever gets married...managed to get the dress,shoes,bag and jewelerry for under ninety kwid so bargain...dress courtesy off tkmaxx!!!!!

    Few bickers with k this weekend...she been low and fed up with the mess of her house etc but doesnt do much to rectify the situation....her son is a lazy sod who does bugger all to help her even though she out at work all day....she drops hints etc etc at me to get me to help with her housework etc but i wont anymore...i used too but within minuets the kids come in and just dump their crap everywhere etc so i see no point...and i wont do anything to help her son cus he is so rude and disrespectful towards her....her previous gf used to do a lot of her housework for her but i am not gonna baby her when she can do it herself or be tougher on the kids...anyway...when she gets like this she drags me down too cus i get tense and walk on eggshells around her...so i have discovered the easiest option is to just leave her to stew for a few days...which i have done...

    have been dieting for the last 2 weeks...first week lost 4lbs so well pleased with that...will weigh myself again on thursday and see if any more shed....k didnt lose any so i felt a bit bad about the fact i did...she reckons she hasnt been doing too well this week on her diet again so we shall see if she has dropped anything yet.

    Friday, April 6th, 2007
    1:00 pm
    so,...tis good friday...whats good about it?...nah...i guess in the grand scheme of things its ok.

    Have walked the beast down the fields...so she knackered now...steph is out doing steph stuff...cj at his mates but no doubt he will show up again soon and want the pc so i am making the best of being able to use it without doing deals...Mike is home so wont see much of Karen...boo!...saw her this morning when we walked dogs...mite pop round there later for a bit ...will see how i feel.

    am hot....god i fucking hate the summer/hot weather...im so much more comfy in winter...especially as im sooooooooooooooooooooooooooo hugley overweight nowadays...I want to lose some...but just cant motivate myself...I think logically I have replaced cutting and bashing and burning with eating...maybe i should just get the blade out again in the quest to be thinner and healthier..cant even say it puts karen off me cus it doesnt...which is a good thing i know...though i dont understand it!

    still kinda shell shocked by r killing himself...which is daft in a way because i never physically met the man or anything...dunno...maybe its the time of yr or summat...who knows!

    owell.

    heyho.

    am crying as I type.

    Found out that another online friend has died. I knew he/she was feeling very very low atm and I knew he/she had made plans etc...but I never thought he would do it.

    I havn't spoke for a while on msn to him....now I never will.

    He was always kind to me and would chat if i felt rough and while sometimes was a bit strange he was always respectful of myself andf my lifestyle and never judged me.

    fucking hell..

    so...

    I think we are finally starting to become more human again in this house after being hit by the dreaded flu bug thats sweeping the nation.

    Cj seems to be the only one to have escaped it...well they do say the devil looks after his own dont they!

    Steph still not too good...she started to get better then blew it by doing too much too soon and knocked herself back to square one again...but antibiotics for ear/chest infection should be kicking in now so hope to have her on her feet tomorrow....my chest still very rattly but not coughing as much and can at least move now which is more than what was happening last week.

    other than that life fairly normal and boring here...had a nice weekend...cj being fairly ok behaved atm so enjoying that respite.

    dog a pain in the arse...she seems to get more energy as she gets older not less...but at least her fur has grown back so she looks better...cats fine...they are cats after all...they eat and sleep and groom themselves then sleep some more....jasper baby is getting big...hes very sweet though and his tail is huge!!...miss jess is ok....shes still a snob and will always be one...wont go to anyone really except myself and even then keeps her affection to a minimum.

    sprry peeps...this is tres boring i know...wish i knew what i wanted to do with myself then i could possibly consider finding a job...but its safer being home.
