By now the council hadn’t paid the landlord of the pub for several weeks.  Not only that, he had been sent a letter asking him exactly what Bri was using his domestic garage for.  HMRC were still hassling me, even though I’d explained everything to them several times over.  I asked my key worker to [...]

During the course of the last few weeks (while I was busy trying to save the world from disaster!!) there were a few minor irritations in our own real lives!

Gweithdy Mona was a workshop for people who had previously been in the joinery/carpentry trade but had suffered one disability or another.  We went along for a few meetings with the management … they were delighted to take on the work on the condition that we could bring in the volumes.  Having had the turnover [...]
