# Well seemingly she's erm # a bit more resigned , there's another , there's another sort of erm possibility , I mean if they sold their house quickly of course then , you know they'd come down here obviously and they'd try and look for something , but it's not likely that they'd sell their house that quickly # but if they did and # you know they'd all come down , but if they don't , erm # possibility is that Marilyn would stay up there for another year with Carris you know in their house and Timothy of course and erm , then sort of move down here # I imagine so , is she due to do them next year ?

# Oh that's lovely ,three years ago my sister died leaving a household of two men , my brother-in-law aged eighty and myself approaching retirement age to cope with ourselves , to cope for ourselves . # Er because neither of us could really manage in the kitchen it was not long before we became very tired of having to eat convenience food sad looking old meat pies , dried out chips and heated up frozen vegetables soon palled . # I began to despair in the local press I noticed an advert for an evening class , cookery for men being the young one in the family I plucked up courage and enrolled but it was great , with great apprehension that I went to the first class . # I needn't have worried . # There were twenty of us , other chaps in much the same boat as me , Nancy our tutor was cheerful , down to earth and did not expect us to be cordon bleu cooks . # That course changed my life . # With a mixture of demonstrations , simple methods and constant humour , Nancy taught us to fend for ourselves . # I now have the confidence to tackle almost anything in the kitchen , pies , pastas , cakes , soups , meat dishes , vegetables and bread . # There have been many disasters along the road , Yorkshire puddings you could sole your shoes with , burnt offerings of several varieties , a pat that even my dog wouldn't eat and last Christmas a chocolate log that disintegrated , the proud little Santa on top sinking without trace in a sea of chocolate gunge . # These setbacks however were more than compensated for by the successes . # We still keep meat pies and vegetables in the freezer but only for emergencies and I'm in the third year of the course now . # Oh that's lovely . # He got fifty pounds for writing that in as well . # I was taking my very independent three year old daughter for a walk and I asked her to hold my hand . # I can hold my own hand thank you came the reply and she did . # Mm # No . # Oh dear , you'd say this would be me as I was leaving the travel agents I heard a woman say my friend and I want to get away from it all , can you recommend somewhere completely unspoiled with a really nice shopping area . # Oh that's a good idea . # Use dampened string when tying up parcels , when the string dries it shrinks and # makes your parcel more secure . # It goes round it . # You ought to give John a ring tonight # you know and sort of erm tell him # what we've done , you know say that you we only want to see # while you're still able sort of comfortably to drive and that sort of thing , I mean if you put it that way and you'll be saying anyway she's my er she's my only living # real relative . # I know they are of course # er because er her children but erm say that we we didn't want to sort of upset her by erm you know # landing ourselves # on them so # we've arranged this five day break . # How far round do we have to go on that ? # Do we ? # Yeah # Yeah . # Yeah . # Yeah yeah . # So you're going , you will be at three # What's the time now ? # Oh yes erm # I'm just going to do er a salad aren't I ? # And # and erm # cold chicken yes , and you can have the the other little erm apricot thing and there there is a yoghurt which I'm quite happy enough to have # so # Isn't it in there ? # Oh . # Well it must be in the front here of my , here one of those two small # Oh . # Yes it could be . # They said , they erm they said something or other they were going to be closing down somewhere in Cornwall because the Directory Enquiry service was not being used # and you're ch you're charged for it . # Oh and not from a phone box . # Oh well . # Well do you know I never knew this I was recently hit by a car and , although not seriously hurt , I did go to casualty to have some cuts cleaned and an X-ray taken to check I hadn't broken my ankle . # Now I have received a bill for nineteen pounds thirty from the hospital for the treatment I was given . # I thought all treatment was free on the N H S , do I have to pay and they answer no , nor should you have been sent the bill although the hospital was within its rights to make a charge for the emergency treatment fee . # There is a standard charge for immediate treatment given by a doctor or a hospital to any casualty of a road accident . # According to the nineteen eighty eight Road Traffic Act the E T F can be charged only to the driver of the car involved irrespective of who caused the accident . # The hospital should therefore have sent the bill to the driver who will be able to claim for it # insurance # All policies must cover many insurers will reimburse it . # Return the bill to the hospital and explain their error then you should hear nothing further about it . # Ah you see here's somebody who's writing about , you know , her part of the erm the interest on an er on erm and it says and provided you have no other income er that would take you over your personal allowance register for on the Inland Revenue form R eighty five , interest with no tax deductions . # You can also get this form tax office or bank . # If you register immediately you'll benefit from a whole year's worth of tax free interest for what's calculated on April the fifth . # If your building society won't allow you to register you can still apply for a refund of overpaid tax financial year . # For details see leaflet one R hundred and eleven , how to claim a repayment of tax from banks and building societies . # So I should go into the tax office and # Yeah I know you sent that to the building society but I was # just thinking then of the other # Yeah . # the , the tax office and ask them # I should have heard from them by now . # No no no no , I've seen one since then . # Bearing in mind too that as a non-taxpayer you can open an account in just your name and so enable all the interest to be declared gross . # do you ? # That one we had first so # just find it in the fridge # I bought some ham as well today you know # because I like chicken with # and then some time , these # the erm , you know they had some sausage left over , so I thought if I cook them then you know , if you wanted to we could cook the ham # or we can have # ham tomorrow # or something , but I cooked # Where did I put that ? # You put it there and I put it somewhere else # I thought I put it over there , erm I would only want half of these potatoes , would you manage those ? # Well they're all big now aren't they ? # There was one that I had to throw away because it was erm # all damaged at one end and I , you know , erm thought I'd cut that away # but in fact it was bad all the way through # so , I must confess when I say that we've had bad , like that time when Did you give er Lucy back her English ?

# Mm # I always took the point about the children in the hall didn't they ? # They hadn't thought about that do you know , I reckon that Sister Josephine erm behind all this , she wanted that hall and she and Father used to talk about this you see they want to extend the church back and do away with the car parking area as well , oh that's alright , but erm sort of can't see any point in it , I mean congregations are going down , they're not increasing , the church is big enough for what is necessary I would of thought wouldn't you ? # Don't need a cathedral in it # I wouldn't of thought they'd do that # They'd of more like I would of thought close King Staiton because Saint Gregory's was a purpose built church # but I never forget the way that Doreen when she said we were doing things , she said you shouldn't of started it she said , you'll only get kicked in the teeth at Saint Joseph's # Oh yes right from the beginning # Yes , when we came out here I'll never forget Mark , not even saying thank you , not , not even for raising the money I mean I wouldn't expect that from the parishioners , that's what we should be trying to do , but even for the food and that , till erm Kitty and and the way he got up then and said it , most ungraciously # With him , well for some reason he doesn't like us , well , you say I was thinking , I've been thinking as you know this is the sort of thing that I , gets on to my mind , but I was thinking to myself well really and truly we are so honest people ourselves , we don't go round you know and screw sort of fiddling things , I suppose it comes to hard to us when we discover other people have # but I know Kay wasn't very pleased with Sister about these sort of erm stout things , cos Sister said well if they're not collected by the time of the next jumble , we sort of empty the cupboard and put them all in for erm the jumble sale Kay said to me they're not hers to do that with # No , no , no that was , I mean Kay did what she had to do and sort of got the person # to do it , but Sister wouldn't of even have that , she would of just erm , chucked them , but I know Kay put a lot of work into , she's not coming # Whoever is due to come # Our prayers have been answered tell them # Some justice yet # When are they going , tomorrow is that ?
