Hi Christine,
thank you so much for your mail, appreciate it so much, as i know how much you are hurting over Scott not coming to see you on your birthday, I would be upset too if it were me, you poor woman, if i lived near you, I would take you out on your birthday, is there no way he could come there, is there a bus/train that he could get to come there for a day to see you, I know you are heartbroken about it, if he cannot see you, is there no way your mom or dad could take you to see him? its so unfair that you both cannot get to see each other , Im praying hard that scott gets a job, i know its hard to get a job nowadays, its the same here, lots of people out of work, look at stewarts work, changing he’s shift pattern like they have, that kicks in on the 22nd, its like it or lump it or leave in other words, he cannot afford to leave and they know it, employers think they can treat workers how they like, i realy do feel for you though, try and come up with a solution were you could see each other for your birthday, its not right you dont see each other often, is there not a benefit system there? where if you are out of work they give you money, they do here, its called job seekers, you go to the job centre and sign on and they pay you a certain amount of money each 2 wks and you have to sign on there every 2 wks i think it is and they pay you money to live on while you are looking for work, but now here they want proof you are looking for work though, ive know people that just do not want to work, happy to take money off our tax payers, get their rent paid etc, like my youngest daughter and her husband, so lazy they are, not worked for years, get every penny that they can off the tax payer, get their rent paid, while people like stewart have to get up at 2.30am several times per week to get to work and pay our rent and bills, its not fair on people that want to work, i know you are so upset, i would be if it were me, but please feel free to mail me anytime, I’m here for you, I’m sure you might work something out so you can see scott on your birthday, all this is not good for your health though, you have ear infections, your asthma is affecting you, you realy need to see scott, try and work something our so you can see him, he does not live the other side of the world, dont worry about posting pics on here ,do it when you feel up to it, i hope you are able to go back to the fair, may do you good to get out for a while, ive been busy today, did ironing this morning, baked muffins, got stewarts packed lunch done for work tomorrow, prepared the dinner too, got it on now, having chicken, roast potatoes, green beans, gravy and yorkshire puddings, i made the batter myself this morning, patch is a rascal, he grabbed hold of my tea towel and went in the garden with it, had to swap a cookie for my tea towel back!!, our andy murray is in the final of tennis today in rio, he’s playing del portro, ive been watching some of the olympics not much though, was so tired last night, ive got to call my dad tonight, will do that after dinner and ive watered the plants, its hot here today, they say its going to get hotter as the week goes on, please dont cry, i know it gets you down, but there must be a way that you could see scott on your birthday , like i said maybe your mom could drive you to him or he could maybe get the bus or train if one runs from where he lives to you, if its in town, maybe you could meet him there and go out for lunch/coffee/tea or something, if i were nearer you i would take you out on your birthday, i realy do feel for you though, it sucks it realy does, praying hard for you, its not your fault scott cannot find a job, its hard for anyone to get work, no matter where they live, its like it here too, I’m here for you anytime ok, hugs to you my friend christine
