Monday 2nd April - There's a kind of hush, all over my world

Firstly, Telecom still haven't, and I don't think, will, put the phone back on full service, despite what I've been told - twice- by them on the phone.

Basically, when I make a call on the phone I get a recorded message saying: "Your call is being diverted to BT. There isn't a fault, and you're not being charged."

Marvellous. It's good to talk, except when BT drop a whopper, dont record our calls (or charge for them for 6 months) and then, all of a sudden, send us an extra bill two weeks after the main quarterly one.

It's not my fault BT can't do their job properly. And on those grounds, and the fact that it's an extra bill, they agreed to extend the payment date till I get paid and restore full service in the meantime. BT - you want your a*se kicking - hard.

I haven't spoken to them today. Don't intend to either - fed up of all the promises, long conversations, just for nothing to happen. No more.

And secondly, there's a hush because there's a strange mood in the house between The Family. Got told off today as soon as my wife came in from work about always moaning, and that she's fed up of it. Virtually the first thing she said to me as she walked through the door. Fine, I don't feel like talking much, anyway.

Just worked away on the computer since I got up at 10.45 (!) - up late because I couldn't sleep last night so I got back up and stayed up to 2am.

My employer hounded me to work yesterday (Sunday) as well on top of everything else as they were short of staff. Told them that I couldn't go in as I hadn't got the extra petrol to get into work - and that's true. I tried to stay civil because I'm after all the work I can get after the next payday (when I've kept petrol money back for extra shifts). They kept ringing throughout the day, despite what I'd told them first thing on the phone, so, in order to stay civil, I didn't answer the phone again.

It rang for ages at a time, which peed the wife off even more. But, if I'd have answered it again, I'd have severely upset someone. And blew any chance of overtime this month.

Thanks again for the replies yesterday guys, I really appreciate your thoughts. I'm not making me out to be a martar (spelling) - its just that, I accept that there's other people involved here besides me. I can't talk about giving the house up with the wife; it would break her heart.

But, the way I am at the moment, and if it wasn't for other people being involved, I'll throw the lot in tomorrow and start again. Dewdrop - you're right though. I'll just keep plodding on, eventually, God willing (!) there'll be an end to this whole sad, sorry and pitiful state of affairs.

Somehow.

Until tomorrow

Paul
