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

Collections phoned. I reiterated the tedious tale yet again, and
he seemed to understand, until I had to cut him off at 3.30 to
go off to the chiropodist. The chiropodist cut off loads of dead
skin, and attributed it to the lithium tablets I take, whereas
both Doctors on Monday had rudely called this ‘self neglect’ –
who are they to blame their own medication? He said the only
answer to such a very deep verucca was surgery – at the same
Bishop’s Stortford Hospital I had been seen at years before –
and to ask my GP Dr Gibson for a referral. I filled out a two

next week, he has still not called – and 3 Mobile have called
again on both the Sunday and the Monday! A parcel arrived
with Julie’s boots, Rachel’s hooded sweatshirt and Hayden’s
‘Thomas the tank engine’ jog suit. However the boots were not
as described over the phone – and Julie asked me to exchange
them for a ‘wedge’ pair.
The weekend was incredibly quiet again. The coat I had
ordered yesterday for Rachel at Julie’s request, was delivered.
