 I decided to go and do something about the charged that the banks have on an arranged overdraft today.  Sometimes I get caught out by this charge due to too much money going out before it goes in and its very frustrating.  The bank that I use charges me 6 pounds a month if I get overdrawn, that bank is natwest and that charge kicks in even though I am only overdrawn for a few hours at the most.  I think this is a bit money grabbing and that I should have a few hours to pay the money back.  Anyway I have heard that Nationwide charges 50p a day paying this is better than paying 6 quid anyway I even went to Natwest to ask if they would have the same terms as Nationwide no chance I guess I knew that Natwest were quite happy to lose a customer I guess they are in a privelaged position I suppose.  I am off to get my account changed next week anyway

I have been thinking back today about the appointment I had in the pain clinic the other day and how the trauma suffered in childhood due to abuse from parents can lead to problems in later life well I guess the problems exist through life and in my case the conclusion that it can contribute to chronic pain or exaccerbate chronic pain.  It is sometimes quite difficult to accept that physical pain can have psychological component aswell but I guess it makes sense as the mental cannot be cut away from the physical the body is all one really as it life.  We divide life in parts that seemed cut off we childhood is put away as we are adults but the childhood is importatnt as to know where the journey started is important to work out the direction you are going in.  It is important to try and understand the traumas of choldhood and to express those traumas and unerstanding to hopefully stop it happening to someone else

 I have been busy the last couple of days now which is a change for me recently.  I have been doing some voluntary work for the local community pub some renevation work.   It all started on Saturday night when someone who wrorks mentioned theey were going to get rid of the carpet that was there.  I have hated this carpet for a long time, when he said he was going to get rid of it I said I would help him, I had been drinking of course.  I was surprised at myself volentreering really maybe I wanted to make sure the thing went. Anyway the carpet has gone and the wood underneath is exposed now iy has been sanded in parts the hardest part of the job is picking up the nails and the tacks from teh wood there are hundreds of them and its veruy labout intensive work. I guess its quite a nice thing to help the community and the work I do is something which I am managing to do really which of course is not always the case these days. The work has made me use muscles what I have not used f

I have had an itchy eye for a couple of weeks now it is really annying.  I have been to the optician about it but it seems not have done much good as its still there.  All he could come up with was that I might have a dry eye or something but I think its more than that but I suppose I would. The optician gave some spray to moisten the eye which helps a bit i guess.  I have another opticians appointment in a week's time maybe she will be able to sort it out hopefully like someone said there is somethng all the time.  I guess its this growing old crap again which to be honest is not fun at all.  Someone said it was better than the alternative I beg to differ somethimes I guess.  For the last 3 years nearly it has been the pain in my stomach now that has improved though still have the discomfort its now the eye and the ingrowing toe nail. 

So someone else would like the crowd that play music on a wednesday evening to play for them.  I guess it ws a novelty at the beginning now I am beginning to lose the will the live playing the same old rubbish over and over.  I can get a glimpse of how bands feel when they are asked to play the same old shit over and over.  The problem is the folk in the group don't have time to practise and therefore there is no opportunity to change things.  I will have to think of ways of getting out of this shit while I am still sane.

I have had an itch in my good eye for days I gathered it was probably an eyelash that was growing into the I have tried various remedies but nothng works its still itchying.  According to my sister I have two of them which probably explains why the itch is so persistant I guess.  One remedy I tried was to put my head in water but that didn't work. I guess I will have to go and see someone about it soon as its really annoying. I am quite imprssed with this little speaker I got off amazon I would never think that such a small speaker would pump out such a big sound. it wasn't cheap but it wasn't too expensive either I just need to find a way ot get it linked to the tv now.

This morning I went to the doctor's surgery to see the nurse as I have a painful big toe I think it is something to do the toe nail which I cut the other week and has been sore since. It was taking a while for my appointment to come round and then my name appeared on the screen to see the nurse so up I got and bizzarely someone else got up too, he looked at me and I looked at him. I asked him if he had the same name he said he did.   The bloke, who's name was obviously David went off to the nurse as he had beren there longer than me.  I just wonder what the chances are of someone with the same name seeing the same person at the same time around the same time are.  it was not the same time obviously it was just that the nurse was running late.  Initially I thought this person was taking the piss, I am sure he thought the same about me. Anyway I needn't have bothered to go and see the nurse as she was not that helpful really she told me I would have to wait a few weeks fo

The path that I was not expecting has finally been fnished, they completed it this morning.  I am still a bit puzzled as to why I was not told aboutt that they were going to build a path here.  I was told that I should have been informed by the builders but I think that is wrong I should have been informed by the housing asscotian as it was their idea in the first place to have put there the builders did not just decide on the spot to put one here maybe this time it was a stupid communication breakdown so I suppose I should let it go. To be honest the path has spoilt the garden really if I had the chance I would have rather had a narrower one really this one juts fillst he garden.  There was no need for one really there is no point to having one here but its here now so I have to make the best of it.  In fairness to the builders they have left the place tidy which is good. I now have my garden back its not as green as it was as there is a concrete fixture in it now I guess that;s how

Well its been all go here this week in relaton to the work that I have been having done on the house, the fascia has been done they have been here all week and have decent weather to do it.  Also the path has which I did not know I was getting is nearly finished the workers might be a bit peaved when they come back tomorrow as I have stepped on the path and messed it up a bit I doubt it will be a big deal though. I thought the fascia people had finished but they seemed to have left a load of stuff here so I assime they will be back tomorrow. I rang ot complain about the fact that I had not been told about the the fact I was getting a new path. It seems to have been a problme in relation that the contractors hwould have told not the landlord. I am assuming if they let people know they might refuse the works being done.  If I am right then this is not a good way to operate and their business will not last long.  Anyway I should have my garden back tomorrow though it will have path now
