Well, what went wrong yesterday? No journal entry despite being sat in front of computer all day. Actually had to do work at work. Disgraceful. What is the world coming to when your employers actually want you to work for your money. Spent all day yesterday and some of today stuffing envelopes. Highly skilled work.

Hoping to go home early today. Power will be off from 3 til 5, no lights, no computers, no work. Weather is still sunny, so can sit outside pub for extra two hours.

Sister rang at 8.10 this morning. She was bored and wanted a chat. I was eating breakfast and had to leave at 8.15 so told her no. Probably offended her. Have to grovel later.

Talked to her last night anyway. Decided to buy father binoculars for birthday. She talked about Bloke 2 a lot. As usual. Is very dull. As soon as another subject is brought up, she involves Bloke again. Suppose I am the same about football. But at least football is interesting. And doesn't kill small furry creatures.

Speaking of small furry creatures - Mulder and Scully are driving me mad. Have decided to restrict their freedom and lock them up when I am out. Maybe it was too much letting them roam free from the beginning.

Have got job interview on Tuesday. Think company may be dodgy. Have checked them out at Companies House and have changed name almost annually. Still, if pay me good money do not care. Start college on Monday and have class on Tuesday afternoon - one hour after interview starts. Could be a close thing. Have to go to college in interview suit. Not good. Will ruin my reputation as person who dresses like bag lady.

On day off (feels like forever ago) didn't do much. Mother is on nights, so could make no noise all day. Weather was nice (warm but not hot) so went for walk. Also bought ticket for Stoke. In afternoon, when threat of waking mother was lessened, watched vid - Shakespeare in Love. Excellent. How can I have gone so long without seeing much that was good and then watch two great films in one week? Maybe should watch some more while I'm on a roll.

Football tomorrow. Looking forward to it greatly. Have feeling will win. Always have this feeling, but is particularly strong now. Mardy arse Carbone is back but banished to juniors, so might not play. All team hate him, which may create team spirit which has been lacking. Is centenary of move to Hillsborough, so to celebrate everyone will get free badge. Programme also has replica of first programme at Hillsborough in it. Should be good day.

Have calmed down on Theme Hospital front. Only played couple of hours on Wednesday and none at all yesterday. Much better. Am no longer dreaming of placing dustbins and radiators in rooms and corridors.

Parents go away a week on Tuesday for two whole weeks. Am very excited. Would like them to decide they like Malta so much they want to move there. Only problem is will have to dog-sit. Sam is lovely, but cannot be left alone all day. So must take him to Gran's. Will have to see Gran every day. Not good. She will try to feed me. Want to enjoy my freedom for the short period will have it.

Have found receipt for dentists two months ago. Cost £99 and some pennys. Can now claim money back. Will get cheque fairly soon for nearly hundred pounds. Very good. Almost like unexpected windfall.

Must go and eat, but faint from hunger.

Cake s.o.
