2017 PART FORTY EIGHT 25/11 -- 01/12

Got paid, spent it all already, somehow got to get through to Christmas. And blown a lot more which I have to pay off next month, really this is ridiculous now and my life is so shit. 

Few days off and now looking ahead to Christmas, got loads of Christmas cards in and written those to send out to Sue, James and Hannah in Australia, then start on the list for this year. Plenty of stamps in too, and need to pick up some gifts for Jean as well soon but as I really have little to no money so have to be very careful.

Am also off each Friday and Monday for the next few weeks to use up the last of this years annual leave. Won't be going very far but at least this coming Friday (1st December) it's a gathering of the guys for an annual "Xmas" do. Will be in Twickenham for this meeting up with old school friends and seeing if I can find some cheer. Need cheering up as I really don't feel like going but know that I must make some effort. Go and meet Dave Mc first in the hotel bar, and then the other guys in Twickenham itself. No word from Beatrix about Sunday?? Which is sort of ok as I really don't have the means to take her out, and I'm now full of flu which isn't great. 

Survive this week and maybe we'll soon feel a bit better, send some cards out in December and keep writing.
