Leaving, Moving and Starting..

I didn't really believe people when they talked about how many folk visit you when you are living in a vicarage. I have had a whole heap of visitors already: I've had two people tell me that they don't go to church anymore- and have arranged to meet up with the council youthworkers for the estate (they happened to be in just the right place when I was looking for a chippy)..

I am loving it.. (and yes I know I haven't actually started yet)..

Those are all up points; there have been a few logistical downs. the fridge freezer won't fit in the hole until I move a radiator (I being the phrase for 'nice plumber man').

BT's computer refused an order: no phone etc till Tuesday.

I have wrecked my nails!


But all in all a good start!

More soon.

What do I enjoy doing? What gives me joy? Leave me a comment.

Your vocabulary aged 5 is half what it is for a rich kid if you are in the bottom ten percent of income. Housing tenure stats are even worse. "Only 4 per cent of those of working age living in social housing have degrees, and nearly half have no or only low qualifications. Only half of men and 42 per cent of women of working age living in social housing are in paid work, compared with 89 per cent of men and 81 per cent of women in households with a mortgage." Social housing: by its nature, is grouped (london people ignore this, you are the freaks not the norm). That means that we have allowed ghettoes of poverty and low attainment (not just in a SATS way either). Now it would be easy, and some daft Tory has already done it, to pin this on
