Where to begin? The school fees were due on the 6th of Jan but, after we’d cleared the overdraft for the roof and car repairs, there wasn’t a huge amount of Ned’s redundancy money left. Covered the shortfall with a bit of help from a credit card. All a bit scary but Max is doing so well, we have no regrets. The next lot’s due after Easter so we really need a miracle before then. Ned’s had quite a few interviews but no job offer yet. He gets quite despondent on occasions but generally manages to keep his spirits up reasonably well. He certainly couldn’t be accused of not trying, as he spends most of his day on job sites or ringing old contacts and, thankfully, not on the Playstation! ‘Ba’s Kitchen’ is doing brilliantly. Both Mrs S and Skunk have paid themselves back their initial outlay and are now making money. Skunk insists that Mrs S does all the accounts and gets paid extra for it. “Fuckin’ useless wiv figures, I am,” he informed me when Mrs S was out of earshot. Think he’s earned his stripes in the trust department and there are certainly no flies on him, as my mother would say. Just last week he pulled me aside and asked, “Don’t it get on your knockers, the way she keeps going on about Pritesh being the man for you? I could ‘ave a tactful little word wiv ‘er, if you like? She listens to me.”
