I think I can vaguely remember someone called Janice, don’t know if this is the same person. Did they live towards the bottom of the close, opposite end to the green?

I think I can remember Janice, from what I can remember she wasn’t in our little gang. Went with my sister to see my brother this afternoon, we were reminiscing about Huxley Close, my sister can’t remember much as she is the youngest but my brother could. It was more of a community than Staverton Road, I can remember the street having a “do” where there were races for kids with small prizes, can’t remember what it was for. I was quite sorry to leave there, Staverton seemed a bit posher somehow but my dad wanted a garage for his precious car.

She was only about 5 when we moved. The car was a Consell, an old banger really but it had these bench seats front and back. You could lay out on the back seat and 3 could sit in front. I can remember going out with my Dad when he first got it, one of his friends was with him in the front, not sure whether he had took his test then or was still learning.

I am having trouble with my email, only just managed to retrieve the messages this morning. Sorry for no response. Think I am going to have change it to my other address if I can find out how. That was easier than I thought, should be up and running again.

I have finally had a PIV unit installed in my loft (just couldn’t cope with the damp any more), had it done yesterday. One of the ladies from a club I go to had had one installed a while ago in her bungalow which was a help. Although I had done research (put a white coat on while doing it) it was better to speak to someone who had got one installed, she was able to answer my questions (I know the installer would have but they would have a vested interest) and gave me the phone number of her installer. I had contacted someone on line and by telephone (leaving a message) who advertised they would get back to you in 24 hours, still waiting. The installer came out, did an inspection and took me through everything, he was very helpful and explained it all. So, it has been working for about 24 hours and already the horrible damp smell has disappeared from upstairs. I am going to change the damp traps today to see if they collect anything as he did say sometimes they do need tweaking a bit (he has left it on factory settings for 3 bedroomed house).  The really good thing is I have a money back guarantee if it doesn’t work and they will take it out and make good the landing ceiling. So hopefully this will work and I can start thinking about decorating in the new year instead of thinking about selling again. 

Got my appointment at the hospital for the beginning of January to get my thyroid medication sorted out. I am seeing someone who is a diabetic specialist (?), is this normal? Went to the doctors today for a check up, he says everything is okay and although my heart was thumping it was a normal beat, still is a bit disconcerting when it does it especially when I am in bed. 

The stopping smoking is going fair to middling, I do occasionally have one but am getting there, I can see what I am saving in my bank balance which is an incentive. (Bit mercenary I know but there are things I want to do to house and I am my fathers daughter, who was very careful with money.)

So hopefully things are looking up a bit and next year will be better.
