4.00am. Had to get up an hour earlier this morning. Car failed its MOT and can’t afford repair costs. Will have to cycle to work instead.
4.30am. Just enough time for tea and toast.
5.00am. Set off for work. Strong wind and rain slowing me down.
6.15am. Arrived at work 15 minutes late. Drenched! Manager not happy. Told I have to work through my tea break to make up time. Arsehole!!
10.00am. Really busy morning. Clothes almost dry now. Gasping for a cuppa.
12.30pm. At last. Time for lunch. Can’t afford snack van today. Not due to get paid until end of month. Packet of crisps and nice hot cuppa. Still hungry.
2.30pm. Regular shift finished, but staying on for a couple of hours overtime. Bills, bills, bills.
4.30pm. Extra 2 hours at time and third. Help pay towards car repairs.
6.00pm. Home at last. Note from Shirley on table …“Dinner in fridge …. cheese sandwich and cup-a-soup … don’t overfill the kettle Joe”.
7.00pm. Fell asleep. Absolutely dead-beat.
8.00pm. Fancied a hot bath, but too expensive. Quick shower instead. Watched TV for an hour. Can’t remember what was on.
9.00pm. Early night. Up sharpish again tomorrow.
Zzzzzzz.
Next day, 5.00am … About to set off for work again. Bike has a flat tyre. Totally deflated. Getting too old for all this shit!
PE
