Trip to the hometown.. Thursday 13th July

woke up @ 7.30am, still full of aches down the backs of my legs, DOH.left for mansfield about 8.30am, equipped with bumpers, seats and paint.

arrived about 11am, dropped bumpers & paint off at the bodyshop, called in at mums, got the car battery, left there, went to the old house.

installed battery, engine not turning over, battery is no good (or at least thats what i’m tellin myself, would not want to think “something” else had happened to it would I now)

We pulled the car out the garage and moved it off the drive and onto the land infront of the house.

locked it up, got dropped off in mansfield woodhouse, went to see Laura & Jess, got my hair cut at last, not had chance to get it done before and Laura is the only person that i trust with it.. period..

Left Laura’s and headed back up to the bodyshop, stayed there for about 2 hours chattin, got a lift to the train station and headed upto Kirkby.

Had a long chat with a legal advisor about a situation me & olly have found ourselves in.

I found out that everything can be controlled and things will be ok, called olly and explained it all and we are both pleased about it.

Olly called me back shortly after and told me that Welly had contacted him to say that the Polo had a police warning on it, NICE ONE

Had my dinner, received a call from the Police tellin me to come and move the car asap and that a notice had been placed on it due to no tax (looks like SOMEONE called them and told them i’d been and left the car there, who knows, for fuck sake, it was being moved at 17.30, whoever called them, your an ARSEHOLE). the tax had ran out 30th June, and the car had been sat in the garage since August last year.. I explained to the officer that it was being moved this evening and to stop wasting my time and find a proper crime to investigate.

What wankers, they wouldn’t have come that quick if i’d have stabbed someone..

Headed back into town for 17.30, met up with a bloke called Wayne and his son, who had a low loader and got the Polo onboard and took it away until the morning. It will be delivered to the bodyshop in the morning. AT LAST…
drove over to Cotgrave with my Dad & Grandad to see family that I hadn’t seen since I was about 4 years old, its nice to be back in the family, theres so many years gone by and people I haven’t seen , not that it was my fault, its good to be back tho..

finally, we took my grandad back home, dropped a mates DVD’s off and went to see Nicola (olly’s mum) who kindly countersigned my passport & firearms licence application for me.. stayed for a quick chat. Nic is mint, I wish my Mum was as understandin about what i’m doing with my life as Nic is with Olly’s – Jaz growled at me again until she remembered who I was (japanese akita) – shes the cutest dog in the world

Left Nicola’s and headed home, took us about 2 hours..

Things sink in when I go back, I miss Olly & Ko mostly, it gets me down big style, I had no choice but to move down here though cos of the financial mess I was left in and had no where to live. Things are lookin up though, once the cars back on the road and more moneys coming in, my life shall be easier and i’ll see people more often.

I’ve decided I want to live in Newark or somewhere near there… I can still do what I need to do with Maxxd and the business side of things, and still see my Dad. I have Newark set in my mind for some reason.. Theres too much going off at the moment to even think about going on holiday, I need more hours in the day, and more days in the week, or maybe hours to slow down a bit?

Roll on tomorrow, or should I say later? I’m gonna go and see someone that needs a bit of moral support from me, although they dont know it yet…
