1999: Up at seven and went running into mum’s room with a great big smile. Wasn’t so happy this evening though. Have been playing hard all day and I was very tired. Mum looked thrilled – whinges and tantrums all round, which I have to confess were coming from me mostly today. I fell asleep on the settee at half five but awoke 10 minutes later when mum was trying to lift me to bed – no way; bing – look I’m wide awake. We took the fish tank through to next door as they are looking after our fish while we are away on holiday and I eventually got to bed – and stayed there, at seven.
2019: Day off to recover from my run but mentally stressing about all the bills, lack of money and parking fines! I can get a loan but only at 41% – rang mum and she advised against this. Out delivering flyers tonight around Beccles for Sundown festival in Norwich in August and have got a days work marshalling at a food fare on Saturday in North Walsham so hopefully that will help a bit.
