Bomb Alley Kid No 44
finnish it all
Clearing my old home out and dads working tools in his shed is so depressing, but with the
help of my cousin Len we manage to complete it all Ok, I would like to keep some of Dads
tools,so have put these aside. My cousin len will take most of the others as dad used to
let him use them if ever he wanted to do a job up on the farm so they will be usefull to
him,the rest we will give away,Having flown down I will take my Dads Mini back to Scotland
with some of the things I wish to keep,also I can give Glenn the Mini,I have put the house
on the market so hope someone will buy it in the near future,
Back home in Scotland { I suppose its still a home of sorts } I will try to pick up
some of the bussiness that I have lost owing to all the trouble I have had, but really I
dont care much,when Dads house is sold I will have to pay off all the money on the my
house,and overdraft,I must say that my bank manager,{Mr Dow.} has been exceptionly
understanding during all this time,one would not get the same to-day in 1999 i"me afraid.I
think I owe arround £9000 + interest.eventualy I hear from the estate agent in Canterbury
that Dads house has been sold,so thats going to pay off the mortgage and the interest. and a
little left over,Now I hear from my estate agent that the buyer has had a structual survey
done and has found that dads house will need a lot of work done to it so has decided to
reduce his offer,I have a good friend Den Williams who Angela stayed with has now done
well in the building market,so I ask him if he would take a look at it for me incase it is
just a way of getting the house a lot cheaper,so Den will take a look for me and let me
know,but when he tells me that it is needing lot done, and he thinks it will take at least
£5000.00 to correct as its the foundations that are sinking,so I would be better to except a
lower offer,so again another blow, during my loss of Angela, and now my Dad,now this
problem,I have been thinking that I cannot carry on any more,so have decided that life is
not worth living anymore,and so have decided to end it all in the near future,useing the
exhaust pipe from my car,which I have heard is nice way to go and easy as you just slip into
sleep.and thats it,I once found a man in his car who had done this when I was out walking
one day.and he looked quite peacfull,so this is my idia of how to go.with the money left
from the sale I will buy a removal van so that Glenn and Craig can start out on there own in
bussiness.Unfurtunatly removals now seem to have taken a bad turn, so this dosnt work, The
girl Irene who is Glenns girl friend her father is a manager of a bread company,and so has
told Glenn he can give him a job driving for the bakery.so Glenn takes on his offer.Craig
has also been offered a job with a Diving company,so will take this job.so now I have to
sell a removal van.so I will loose money .but now I really dont care any more.
