Day 1128

..I woke up about eight again and had to lend T 55p for bread. I passed some remarks about the absurdity of someone on the dole lending two people who are in work money, further annoying the breadless T. She's got £500 pcm to dispose of, I've got £100; she should learn to budget. However, she did thank me.

Caught the bus to Stratford, got there early so had a cuppa in the bus station cafe where a drivers' union meeting was taking place - 'Bow don't want nothing more to do with us so we are now independent...'

Coach was 12 minutes late, got back about 1.30, walked home feeling on top of the world. Stopped off at the Jobcentre for a pleasant (!) conversation about NI contributions for post-graduate courses (pay-it-yourself when you can afford it).

This good mood was built on good solid foundations of the Kingston bloke's good opinion causing self-esteem, and all the things I've got done in the last two days.

I need some much-needed sleep. If everything pans out I'll have two offers to choose from and in 20½ weeks can be well on the way to an activity-filled future.
