Monday 8 th September – Sunday 14 th September 2008.<br />

The first three days of this week were as quiet as <strong>the</strong> previous<br />

weekend had been. I was still do<strong>in</strong>g a lot of wait<strong>in</strong>g for th<strong>in</strong>gs<br />

to happen. Hajni had given me <strong>the</strong> email address of her adm<strong>in</strong><br />

assistant, one Sarah, but when I emailed her on Monday <strong>the</strong>re<br />

was no reply.<br />

On Tuesday at 4pm I met one Stuart from <strong>the</strong> mental health<br />

charity Reth<strong>in</strong>k, and had a brief chat about be<strong>in</strong>g seen once a<br />

week by a ‘befriender’. Noth<strong>in</strong>g has come of this as I write on<br />

Thursday 18 th , over a week later – I was expect<strong>in</strong>g a phone call<br />

from him last Tuesday 16 th , but never got <strong>the</strong> call.<br />

Rachel had been stay<strong>in</strong>g at Julie’s while Julie was on holiday,<br />

hav<strong>in</strong>g been banned from <strong>the</strong> holiday because of <strong>the</strong> massive<br />

distress she had caused by abus<strong>in</strong>g my phone <strong>in</strong> March and<br />

April. She popped round to look at ‘face book’ on my computer<br />

that even<strong>in</strong>g. Then she expla<strong>in</strong>ed she could not live at her own<br />

new, huge by comparison, two bedroom flat at present as she<br />

lacked a cooker and fridge/freezer. That even<strong>in</strong>g a close male<br />

friend had offered her <strong>the</strong> £255 she needed for <strong>the</strong> latter. She<br />

asked about <strong>the</strong> Littlewoods catalogue account I had used to<br />

buy clo<strong>the</strong>s for her mo<strong>the</strong>r recently. Could I possibly buy a gas<br />

cooker for her on that, and she would promise to pay me back<br />

<strong>in</strong> regular <strong>in</strong>stalments – via her mo<strong>the</strong>r? We went round and<br />

discussed this <strong>with</strong> Julie. The upshot was, that even<strong>in</strong>g, I<br />

ordered <strong>the</strong> cooker on my account, <strong>the</strong>n immediately thought<br />

better of it! Was Rachel really trustworthy enough to repay her<br />

mo<strong>the</strong>r, so me <strong>the</strong> required £5 a week?<br />

I had enough m<strong>in</strong>or headaches <strong>with</strong> <strong>in</strong>creas<strong>in</strong>g worries about<br />

sporadic w<strong>in</strong>ges from Hajni of Substance Books about <strong>the</strong><br />

volume of emails it had already taken to discuss promotion of<br />

my books!<br />

Luckily, <strong>after</strong> Julie went off to work 40 miles away on<br />

Wednesday 10 th September last week, leav<strong>in</strong>g Rachel and <strong>the</strong><br />

<strong>in</strong>fant Hayden ‘look<strong>in</strong>g <strong>after</strong>’ her flat, I was scheduled to have a<br />

meet<strong>in</strong>g <strong>with</strong> Jemima, my social worker and nurs<strong>in</strong>g<br />

coord<strong>in</strong>ator at Cygnet House. She could tell I was a bit rattled,<br />

and even stated <strong>the</strong>re were early warn<strong>in</strong>g signs of a possible<br />
