On Saturday 14 and Sunday 15 June i had to listen to inane strumming on the guitar and wailing from the tenants below, which is most annoying and disturbing when you’re trying to relax and that’s all you can hear even over the tv. On Monday i was subjected yet again to another door slamming session.

On Monday i called the woman from the housing again as i hadn’t heard from her, she said she’d call after the meeting with the neighbours. She said she was going to call me that day, she said they didn’t turn up for the meeting and she hadn’t been in the end of the week. I told her about the door slamming on Saturday night, she said maybe its a last defiance after receipt of letter from the environmental health, i said whether or not it’s a good job i don’t have heart problems or you’d have a heart attack victim on your hands. She said that she’d also be sending them a warning letter.

On Wednesday the contractors after many days trying and some not turning up for various reasons finally got the horrible rusty bars out my airing cupboard.

On Thursday i went to my friend Winnie to do her hair, i did some shopping on the way home and then when i got home painted inside my cupboard again. Now that’s done and no more workmen i can start getting my place clean again. Again 11:30 - 12am i was subjected to all the doors being banged by the neighbours below.

My friend Lyn phoned me, she had arranged to come see me, she asked did i want to go out to Damiens for my tea, which was very nice of her. We had the ribs, i can’t rememeber the flavour, so if anyone. can but not the ones in barbecue sauce, with jacket potato and salad, then i had ice cream. It was very nice, we didn’t stay out after, we just had the meal and a chat to catch up then Lyn brought me home again.

On Saturday i had a good sleep no disturbance from the tenants below. I was glad i’d had a good sleep, i really needed it i get so tired and them disturbing me aggravates it. I did a bit more cleaning up then got myself ready, i was going to Birkenhead, i was meeting my sister Hazel and her family for a pub meal, my niece Ashleigh was going to America the next day to work for 3 months. It was a beautiful sunny day, too nice to be travelling on public transport, i arrived at 4pm as asked but i needn’t have worried about being late, everyone sat outside in the sun for about an hour or more. I sat with Ruth and Doug for the meal, we had the carvery, but Ruth and Doug didn’t have any meat as they no longer eat it After our meal we went back outside, Ruth and Doug didn’t want to sit in the sun so i went on my own until Hazel called me over, after which i got chatting with Chris’s mum, aunts and his cousin and wife. They left about 7pm or there after so i went and chatted with Hazel and a couple of her friends, we had a blast and quite a bit to drink, Ruth and Doug left about 8pm, it was about 10pm when i left, i think. It was a very nice day, very enjoyable.

I got home around 11pm, i made good connections, thankfully, i hate being on public transport or hanging around waiting for it especially after having a drink. Unfortunately for me the gruesome twosome below were home, i was subjected to guitar playing and wailing then a door slamming session, the last one being 12:06am, it was done with such force and gave me such a fright had i had heart problems would’ve been the victim of a heart attack.

On Thursday they came to install my central heating and hot water yippee!! I had a father and son team doing mine, they arrived on time just before 8am as arranged. I was as ready as i could be, it had been a nightmare emptying cupboards and trying to conjure up storage space to put everything out of the way. I don’t know how you’re supposed to do that when you the very places you keep everything have to be emptied. They were very good and very obliging, they covered my carpets with plastic then the dust sheets so there was no mess left there, except the brick dust that was awful, i felt like i was smothered in it. They finished about 4pm, later than they said, probably all the chatting. It was great i had running hot water for a nice soak without having to wait hours for the tank to heat the water or boiling kettles.
On Friday the joiner came to box all the pipes in, that didn’t take too long, he was done by about 130pm,he was nice and obliging too. After he left i did a bit of cleaning up but then i found what was my airing cupboard still had the fittings in leaving me nowhere to hang my clothes.  I called them up and he said they’d sort it when they came on Monday.
