SK is visiting her folks in Devon this week. I have spent 2 nights apart from her and slept alone in my bed. Its time to change the sheets but I like the scent of her on the bedding, helps me feel as is she is there.Every night I am ready for bed around 11pm to 1am, But SK phones me for a long chat.


Its strange but these phone calls have been deep and meaningful. I think because we spend so much time together, there's more thinking time about what to say. Apart, SK has had time to think and plan before speaking to me. On the phone she is more thoughtful and precise about what she wants to say.When we are together she speaks as she thinks about things. On the phone, she has thought and mulled things over before chatting.


I quite like this because of our different natures. SK is impulsive where as I tend to plan things.One thing we agreed on recently was my will. I had written it out, but hadn't got it validated and posted off.


It needed to be signed in front of 2 witnesses and returned to the solicitors office. I got this sorted out on Monday. My problem had been that I needed two people who were not in the will to sign it. I had left a lot of small sums to friends and family so disqualified them from being a witnesses.My solicitor recommended using my Union Rep as a witness so I went to their office on Monday and my Rep found one other person to be a witness and it was signed and dated - Job Done.


Why is a 35yr old man writing his will. Well, I'm not ill or anything but if something does happen to me I don't want SK kicked out of my flat. I want to protect her legally. I know my parents have their own home, my brother is entitled to one from social services (if he ever tires of living with my parents) and I know my parents would ask SK to leave and then put my mentally ill brother in my home.


Sometimes you have to protect the ones you love. My brother who gets nothing in my will, would contest the will, but I wrote him and my parents a message in it to respect my wishes and accept them.


Do you like this painting. I've a dozen of Thomas Kinkade pictures I am flogging off on ebay.....

its too early in the morning for this


Last night I didn't get much sleep.


I was randy and SK needed some sleep so I got out of bed at midnight and read my book in the front room for an hour. I looked at porn on the web but my favourite site kept crashing. I stumbled back into bed at 1am.


Its 8am now. I was woken at 5.20am by SK demanding a serious conversation.


"Whats going to happen if you die?"

"Have you sorted out your will yet?"

"Did you get it signed?"


My union helped me draft up my will. I just need to sign it in front of 2 witnesses, one of whom my solicitor preferrs to be my union rep. I have to go through my regional union rep, so that means booking an appointment to visit his office and getting it signed.


I do worry about SK. I wrote my will so my mum gets some cash and so do my friends but I leave my house & remaining property to SK. She is the love of my life and when I'm gone I know my parents will give my flat to my mentally ill brother and he will be tricked into signing it away to some con man. In other words my parents & brother don't need it, but I want to safeguard SK just in case something happens to me.


Yesterday I got very upset about the Polish careworker who got shot in a gun fight in Lewisham, south London. I don't know what I'd do if that happened to SK??? I think it must have been praying on her mind this morning.


5.20am is the wrong time for these questions.

I got grumpy and ignored her, then after sharp elbowing I answered.


Write it on a post-it note and put it on the fridge and I'll do it Monday I said


But what if something happens before you get it signed?


I don't plan to die today


But what if something happens


Write it on the fridge list and I will do it I said


I love her but she can be very annoying - Grhhh!!!!


She phoned me 30 min after leaving for work. It was to talk about money worries. I can't hear her as she walks and talks and she mumbles when she is upset - grhhhh!


I made her promise to talk to me when she gets home at 9pm tonight, but I know she won't be worrying about such things then. Its first thing in the morning that she has these thoughts. This is NOT the first time it has happened.

Healthy Living




I recently realized that I am almost vegetarian.




Past 2 days SK has complained about feeling constipated. I am also feeling bunged up.




Whats the one change in our diet?




Eating at BurgerKing for lunch. We got some money off vouchers through the letterbox and I'm tired of cooking.




Neither of us has had some proper junk food in ages, I guess our bodies couldn't take it ;-)

Would you like something that doesn't exist?


Would you like something that doesn't exist? Would it make you want it more?

In UK travel agents they advertise cheap holidays on cards in the window. When you go in they never have that holiday - its just sold, then they try to sell you a more expensive one.....

A more modern take on this con is advertising jobs that dont exist or advertising job training in IT with a guarantee of 6 months work afterwards. The con is you have pay for the training course, and after your 6 months of work your back to square one of being unemployed.

Cutting a long story short I applied for 4 admin jobs on Monday. I sent my CV via email to each of them and got a reply from one today.

I have to register with a job agency but they don't seem to remember the job reference number I gave them. Does the job exist? Or is it just a con to get more people on their job registered database? I hate giving out my personal details any companies, but if I want a new job I have to do it.

Grrrh - I wish that sports company would hurry up with giving me a second interview soon. I quite like them even though the pay isn't that great.
