Virg<strong>in</strong> Media account! Much <strong>more</strong> annoy<strong>in</strong>g <strong>the</strong>re was a parcel<br />

from <strong>the</strong> Agency PFD, swiftly returned <strong>with</strong> <strong>the</strong> usual <strong>in</strong>tensely<br />

irritat<strong>in</strong>g photocopied standard rejection letter, of all <strong>the</strong> books<br />

I had only just confirmed <strong>the</strong>y had received that I had sent<br />

<strong>the</strong>m. The day was empty and <strong>the</strong> flat was grubby so I spent a<br />

very satisfy<strong>in</strong>g <strong>after</strong>noon thoroughly clean<strong>in</strong>g all <strong>the</strong> floors and<br />

surfaces.<br />

Tuesday I was quite busy only <strong>with</strong> emails and phone calls.<br />

There were two emails from Vicki of www.writersliterary.com .<br />

The first just confirmed that <strong>the</strong>y charged a discounted $89 per<br />

critique per book I might ask for one – down by $10 from <strong>the</strong>ir<br />

standard $99 because of an arrangement <strong>with</strong> Writers Literary<br />

Agency. However <strong>the</strong> second was irritat<strong>in</strong>g – she had emailed<br />

me just last Thursday 9 th July say<strong>in</strong>g <strong>the</strong> critique would take<br />

two weeks – now she corrected herself say<strong>in</strong>g ‘at this time of<br />

year it will take three weeks or so – but it is <strong>with</strong> our editor for<br />

this project’. There was a surprise email from Lulu – I had sold<br />

a download copy of my ma<strong>in</strong> book just yesterday. I ticketed<br />

<strong>the</strong>m back say<strong>in</strong>g I was still await<strong>in</strong>g my ITIN number any day,<br />

so should be able to post <strong>the</strong>m a W8BEN form to avoid US tax<br />

on that soon. A little idiotic female friend of Julie’s daughter<br />

constantly pestered her ‘to be my second mo<strong>the</strong>r’ and some<br />

months earlier I had let her have my old mobile phone from<br />

last year on <strong>the</strong> grounds she would soon pay me £30 for it.<br />

The result? Endless wriggl<strong>in</strong>g and squirm<strong>in</strong>g by this Sammy<br />

<strong>NO</strong>T to pay up! I wound myself up for <strong>the</strong> first of several times<br />

recently, by send<strong>in</strong>g her texts ask<strong>in</strong>g politely for <strong>the</strong> money for<br />

<strong>the</strong> umpteenth time, but only got abusive texts back. More<br />

recently, I have got abusive <strong>in</strong> turn <strong>in</strong> texts to her, <strong>in</strong> words<br />

that <strong>the</strong> little prat does not seem to have <strong>in</strong> her vocabulary!<br />

There were several o<strong>the</strong>r rout<strong>in</strong>e phone calls to make that day,<br />

all bus<strong>in</strong>ess, to <strong>the</strong> IET, Income Support about my pensions<br />

letter I got from <strong>the</strong>m at <strong>the</strong> weekend, ask<strong>in</strong>g for my orig<strong>in</strong>al<br />

documents back, etc.<br />

On Wednesday 15 th July I got a nice surprise <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> post – my<br />

ITIN number had arrived – all of n<strong>in</strong>e months <strong>after</strong> I first<br />

applied for one! I went to <strong>the</strong> Post Office and posted to Lulu a<br />

completed W8BEN or tax exemption form for my royalties.<br />

Then I went to <strong>the</strong> M<strong>in</strong>d Club between 2.00-2.50. I had a fish<br />
