NO more relationships with 'girls next door'!; - after TWO in the 'Priory Street Posse'!

My diary from 10 th December 2007 vaguely resumes, in the
absence of detailed hand-written records, which I was soon to
destroy, desperate that they had got so terrible!
From Monday 10 th December I spent some time on the phone
to Black Horse, and eventually negotiated a loan of just £2,000

reviewed by her SHO Dr Angell next Wednesday, 19 th
December, and approved by a Consultant as required
3. I was no longer under the ‘Aggressive Outretch Team’ –
Hurray!? – thanks to their recent ‘abuse leading to abuse
by me’ as I saw it at least…
The above ward round started a terrible run-in to definitely the
worst Christmas, 2007, of my life…
1. For the next two weeks, I just had to get home to have
some time there away from the mayhem of hospital, but
could only manage an hour a day at most on leave, with a
terrible all of three hours’ boring return journey by bus to
get there and back. The first day Julie kindly offered me a
