The other day I got a letter saying that I have an interview for a job, on the 16th of June in Tremadog , I was not expecting to get one really, well I guess if I am going to apply, there is chance I guess, I think I got the interview due to the fact that I put down, that I have a disability, and the council who are giving me the interview, have a policy where if you meet the minimum criteria, you will get an interview, if do have a disability.  When I got the letter originally, I was very pleased but if I am only getting the interview due to their policy, I guess they will have drawn up their ideas of who I am before I get there, I will be assigned the stereotypes, they will have a closed mind to me, well this is what I think anyway, I can't see that I will be treated the same as the other candidates,  unless there is another disabled candidate.  It almost feels like they are just going through the motions. I say that I think that it is the main reason I got the interview, I don&#

Well they have finally finished doing the kitchen, the paint is struggling to dry though due to the place being so cold.  I guess the place will stay cold as due to the robbing energy cartell, I will not be putting the heating on, only as much as is needed.  I have real bad tinnitus today, its horrible, its to brutal, not sure what can be done, if anything I guess. I have started to clean up, there is a lot of dust everywhere, it seems to not want to come off the carpet, not sure what I can do about the that, whether it needs cleaning propertly, I will not get a carpet cleaner though, too much expense, the dust has also got into my skin, its cutting up on my hand and dry in other places, its going to take a long time to get rid of the dust, I am still not sure whether the whole upheavel was worth the hastle, I guess its done now, I am just worried that the damp conditions here will just destroy all the good work that was done here. I will not get any damp on one wall that's for sur

Well, it feels more like winter today, than spring, the weather  is all over the place, and also I heard on the radio that the Daily Express reckons we are in for soggy summer again, pretty depressing, but I guess it is Monday, blue Monday, so nothing is going to be great.  The electrician came round to finish putting in the extractor fan , which, being Monday, I was not too pleased with, as there is a draught coming through it, the kitchen is cold enough as it is.  There should have been painters turning up to finish painting but no sign of them, also there was some inspector from the housing company suppose to come here.  He hadn't turned up by lunch time so I went out and anyway, the job that wanted inspecting was outside and there was no need for me to be there so I thought.  I came home and there was card through the letter box saying the inspector had been I was a bit pissed off, as it seemed he had not been to look at the job, which I told them was at the back, I had hope

It has been a lovely day here today, weather wise.  The work on the kitchen is still going on, today the units were put in, the chap was here all day doing it, they look ok, and I am sure once the place gets painted the whole place will transformed.  I try get away when the work is being done, but did not manage it today, I was back here by the middle of the day so I spent the afternoon just walking around and sitting in the sun really which was ok.  I am hoping all the work will be done by the end of the week so I can start to clean up the place. At least now I have some cupboards to put things away in and I can begin to straighten this place out again. Apparently there was a navy boat firing some missiles off the coast yesterday, it was in the news and in papers, the police and the emergency services got a lot of calls regarding it.  I just can figure out why they did not give a prior warning, it either smacks of stupidity or just arrogance, if they would have give a prior warning,

Well, we're in to May, this year is racing by again.  Though it doesn't feel much like May more like March really but I am sure there is warm weather ahead.  Well, the damp proofers have been, and they have put the damp proof stuff on the wall, which I initially thought was only going to be a covering a little bit of the wall, replacing the stuff that was there before but they have covered three walls really, which I hope will make the place warmer, this place can be quite cold really.  The people here did a lot of talking about the standard of their work, blathering on about this and that, where actually they are just as bad as the once who have been here before, the work looks ok but they have thrown plaster in my garden, they could have just put down the drain really. When there are people here doing work I try to get out of the house, I can't stand the noise of drills and things, goes through my head.  Sometimes its hard to find places to go for hours on end, the work h
