ook, cover<strong>in</strong>g November 2 nd 2007 <strong>in</strong>to 2008. Sue Rider of <strong>the</strong><br />

Hous<strong>in</strong>g Association called and said she and <strong>the</strong> Hous<strong>in</strong>g Officer<br />

would call <strong>in</strong> a week’s time, h<strong>in</strong>t<strong>in</strong>g <strong>the</strong>re was at long last <strong>after</strong><br />

all of eight years on <strong>the</strong> hous<strong>in</strong>g list, a possible move to<br />

ano<strong>the</strong>r (better?) property – <strong>the</strong>n mysteriously chang<strong>in</strong>g her<br />

m<strong>in</strong>d about that possible, only, offer!<br />

My two years of ownership of <strong>the</strong> doma<strong>in</strong> name<br />

www.heartofherts.co.uk was about to expire, so I paid just over<br />

£6 for ano<strong>the</strong>r two years – peanuts! My many o<strong>the</strong>r doma<strong>in</strong><br />

names were to expire soon too – but I only renewed a handful<br />

of <strong>the</strong>m – my plans to have multiple doma<strong>in</strong>s under that one<br />

had long s<strong>in</strong>ce evaporated as just a whimsy! My nurse Jackie<br />

rang to book a time to see me <strong>the</strong> <strong>next</strong> day – 4pm.<br />

O<strong>the</strong>rwise I had a very quiet day until I went to <strong>the</strong> bank at<br />

5.20pm – I remember <strong>the</strong> time precisely for although I had as<br />

ever been watch<strong>in</strong>g my bank balance like a hawk, always <strong>in</strong> and<br />

out of my £100 overdraft, mostly <strong>in</strong> it <strong>after</strong> each weekend’s pay<br />

day s<strong>in</strong>ce <strong>the</strong> w<strong>in</strong>dfall of a £2,500 pension payout <strong>in</strong> July, I<br />

suddenly realised that I was £50 exactly short of where my<br />

balance should be. I immediately suspected fraud, and drove<br />

my balance beyond <strong>the</strong> £70 or just under overdrawn, to <strong>the</strong><br />

maximum of £150 that <strong>the</strong> mach<strong>in</strong>e would let me go to – past<br />

my official overdraft limit of just £100 by £50 - by draw<strong>in</strong>g out<br />

£80 – to prevent fur<strong>the</strong>r fraudulent <strong>with</strong>drawals! Then I rushed<br />

home and rang <strong>the</strong> bank. Sure enough, <strong>the</strong>re had been three<br />

<strong>with</strong>drawals that day or over <strong>the</strong> weekend that I did not<br />

recognise – of £10, £20 and ano<strong>the</strong>r £20. The operator said<br />

<strong>the</strong>y would alert <strong>the</strong> fraud department of <strong>the</strong> bank, and if I rang<br />

tomorrow, only <strong>the</strong>n would <strong>the</strong>y be able to confirm who <strong>the</strong>se<br />

three card transactions had been made out to – not by me!<br />

Fur<strong>the</strong>r disappo<strong>in</strong>tments followed <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> even<strong>in</strong>g, when firstly I<br />

got an email from <strong>the</strong> British Journal of <strong>the</strong> Philosophy of<br />

Science, politely reject<strong>in</strong>g my papers. Then, much worse, <strong>the</strong><br />

attempt I made to publish on www.lulu.com my book revised<br />

<strong>with</strong> <strong>the</strong> three papers at <strong>the</strong> front replac<strong>in</strong>g a much bigger set<br />

of n<strong>in</strong>e papers, and <strong>with</strong> a much clearer, larger typeface of<br />

Verdana, that I mentioned last week, failed to f<strong>in</strong>ish. I emailed<br />
