Travelling without moving

It’s all quiet on the old housemate front… but for how long? She made some angry and confused/drunk phone calls about her benefits and the house but things are now eerily quiet. I’m sure things will kick off again soon. We keep putting the chain on the door when we’re in the house so she can’t sneak in. Just had a call from her doctor checking that this was the right address for her but I said she’d moved and we haven’t got any forwarding details.

I’ve finally got my criminal record clearance through for college. It was all clean and spotless as expected. There’s been no word from the college, but I’ll give them a call today. Fingers crossed the next time I sign on will be my last for a while.

We went to Scarborough for the day yesterday, which was really nice. The weather wasn’t great but we enjoyed ourselves regardless. We had a nice lunch and played on the penny arcades. My gf had a bit of a panic attack and felt down but then seemed to level out. I got a bit frustrated as I’d hoped the day would take her mind off things. We took the coach up (£10… cha ching!!) so it was pretty easy going.

I need to clean the bathroom as it’s getting really icky. I hate going in there and using the toilet. We’ve got a workman coming to fix a new shower railing and I feel guilty about him having to see the state of the room. Not sure I’ve got time to do it today, but I’ll get it sorted. I hope.

I’ve still not heard from my dad. If he’s moved then he’s not furnishing anyone with a forwarding address. Oh well, we’re a troubled lot so I can understand if he wants to see the back of us.

I’m still in contact with my old friend from college and we have great chats on the phone. My gf isn’t used to me having friends so she gets a bit “funny” about me talking to him for so long. She’ll have to get used to it as she’s got loads of close friends that she talks to for ages and meets up with all the time. I might go down and meet up with him before I start college.

Anyway, better go and listen out for the door…
