Hee-haw
Isn't it strange how some things grab you and yet others pass you by?
Lainie (age 8) sang a song at her carol service that I have not been able to stop thinking about with my weird sense of humour! See also: Nazarene Gossips from Dec 2011
I can just imagine this being recited (not sung) with inferences and inflections on certain words, it would be so funny!
Hee-haw, hee-haw
doesn't anybody care
There's a baby in my dinner
and its just not fair
After all that journey
with my heavy load
did I ever once complain about that dreadful road
I can cope with the backache
and these swollen feet
all I ask is some respect and one square meal to eat
Hee-haw, hee-haw
doesn't anybody care
There's a baby in my dinner
and its just not fair
"Be prepared", I told them
better book ahead
Joseph said "Don't be an ass" and took a chance instead
Now they've pinched my bedroom
people are so rude
I can cope with that but not a baby in my food

A song and poem depicting Christ’s birth as seen with the eyes of the donkey that took them to Bethlehem
Hee-Haw!
Hee-haw, hee-haw
doesn't anybody care
There's a baby in my dinner
and its just not fair
Jesus in the manger
lying in the hay
far too young to realise he's getting in the way
I don't blame the baby
not his fault at all
but his parents really should respect a donkey's feeding stall

Settling in Slowly.
Well we have been here now for 4 weeks 4 days and have most things sorted? There are still one or two things that are posing a problem!
The major stumbling block is that I want to get rid of all of my egg cups to a charity shop and Sue thinks I should keep some of them! If we had retained one or both of the display units I would have agreed with her but they are just too awkward to display without them. Strange thing is if we had kept the shelves we would have had room to put them up, as I made them to measure with my own hands I do not want to keep the egg cups without them! Does that seem or sound odd? (Comments below please).
The one thing I am looking forward to is sorting Star Wars! Many years ago, must have been about 2000 or 2001 I got a Star Wars part works that came in about 150 or 200 parts and every week you were supposed to sort into their volumes and chapters, well as time went on of course they became more and more until it became a very daunting task, well they have now come to light again and are in the hall awaiting my attention and we have floor room in the lounge so when I have a free day I will get stuck into it with relish. Note to self, must be done by Christmas!!!
More to follow when time.

The Deposit Saga!
Well it has nearly been a month now since I was last on here and four and a half weeks since moving! Everything except the deposit is sorted at our last home in St Giles-on-the-Heath, namely that the landlord is trying to retain £453.17p for things we are supposed to have damaged, but have not as they were all problems that already existed (except the mysterious second window) when we moved in. Let me list them for a future memory jog for me!!!
We will start at the beginning and state that on several occasions when we first moved into Darts Close we asked for an inventory so that all of the following faults could be noted, none was ever forthcoming! We now know why!!!
Shortly after we moved out the agents (Kivells) warned us that there may be a problem as Mr Cook the landlord was alleging that we owed him for 500 litres of heating oil as he alleged there was well over half a tank of oil there when we moved in. I went back with the comment that if that was so how did I put 850 litres of oil in a 1200 litre tank only 3 weeks after moving in. It seems that Mr Cook then mysteriously comes upon a communication to me stating how much was in the tank? Less than one quarter! Odd that! He then comes out with the following problems!
1. He says that we knackered 2 roller blinds? Well the one in the front bedroom the mechanism never worked where it was so OLD, the one in the rear bedroom was just taken down and stood up in the corner of the room as when I changed the knackered curtain track (at my own expense as he refused to) the blind impeded the opening and closing of the curtain! £112.80p
2. He states that we also damaged 2 windows which no longer open? Firstly, we from day one were asking for the rear bedroom window to be sorted as it did not open as there was no key for it and ALL other windows in the bungalow opened correctly so we do not know where the second window is located!! £210.00p
3. We allegedly ruined the flooring in the kitchen by tearing it in several places. My only answer to that is that the day we moved in there were 2 tears in the flooring noted by us and that on the day we moved out there was still only 2 tears in the flooring! £130.37p
So how far have we got with this?
The Deposit Protection Service are holding on to the disputed amount of the deposit and have released back to me the balance. We are now waiting for the landlord to put forward his objections to me receiving the rest and this MUST include PROOF. This is going to be a interesting exercise! One thing I can assure all my readers of is that he will get no money he is not entitled to from me even if it means it goes through the courts!
Mr Cook has changed estate agents from Kivells and I have my suspicions why, I have not spoken to them yet to confirm this so will not state here yet!
So watch this space as the saga enfolds!
