Fiona's Quiet Life

Been put­ting together these book shelves this week­end accord­ing to the instruc­tions there should have been 16 bolts and 16 nuts but there were only 15 of each in two of the three flat packs yet when i put the sup­posedly identical book cases together one used 16 and two used 15.….…i left the doors off one of them delib­er­ately to give it a bit of shape. those are only a few of my books there are morei must get read­ing instead of play­ing speedy bubbles, tonight’s score was one hun­dred and forty nine thou­sand nine hun­dred and forty five.

have sold the wee flat my mother had , good thing really as i have spent all my money renov­at­ing this house and am now eat­ing my way through the store cup­board. the buyer doesn’t want to move in till Decem­ber so i don’t have to clear out the rest of the fur­niture just yet thank good­ness. it sold in one week, there are two other flats for sale in the same block that have been on the mar­ket for a few weeks but they are being greedy and want too much, i didn’t buy mine to make a profit but to have some­where for my ancient par­ent to be safe but inde­pend­ent so i have asked a fair price and got it imme­di­ately. one worry less hoo­ray. espe­cially as they had under­es­tim­ated the cost of the out­side paint­ing of it and it is now going to be well over one thou­sand pounds per flat ‚grrr!!!

tonight i went to a pub­lic meet­ing in the local church , the police and the MSP and local coun­cil­lors were there to dis­cuss anti­so­cial beha­viour and speed­ing in the area, traffic calm­ing meas­ures were dis­cussed. it is needed the boy racers whizz up and Down this street at huge speeds. it will be a shame it they mess up this beau­ti­ful wide street but it is bet­ter that than a dead teen­age driver or hap­less ped­es­trian who got in the way.

i have left what little money i have (after the great refur­bish­ment ) where it lives in the North­ern Rock build­ing soci­ety. mine is prob­ably the only account left by now.….it shows how easy it is for a run on the bank to be started.
