290216 Brought TV/TV Licence - NOT exercising

Feb 2016 BROUGHT TV/TV Licence

The latest news is I've become a TV addict(just like before). Haven't owned a TV not since the time of the UK's 'analogue to digital' switch over...which, I must confess, was so many years back that I can't even remember. However, this month I went and brought a TV/together with TV Licence.

It's funny how when you have a TV, all of a sudden, you feel more like being a part of the human race, again; quite simply, because you are watching the latest news; and, TV shows/-etc.

After having gone and said all of that, though; there still are times when one feels totally bored to death; and, then, one wishes only to go off and do something else, instead...such as 'go out'...as opposed to always staying in, and, thus, becoming a total  'couch potato'; by which I mean to say I do very well realise how much I'm missing out on getting a 'real life'.

NOT DOING HARDLY ANY EXERCISE/NOT GOING TO KEEP FIT CLASS

I'm afraid, I'm going through a bit of a down phrase, at the moment; where I no longer feel enough inner self-confidence to be able to go out and face the world. I  think, this is because of...

-sheer laziness
-over eating wrong food/drink (chocolate biscuits/-etc. leading to my struggling with weight problems/dentistry problems/and, so on...a general feeling of malise...and, of  giving up completely)
-feelings of depression (I'm slightly biPolar, and, tend to suffer regular up/down severe mood swings)
-lack of money/potential job propects/-etc. (the which thoughts do very deeply depress me; and, has me worrying about the future...which I fear could only get far worse instead of better.)
-the freezing cold is something I do intensely dislike; and, this doesn't tempt me to go venture outwards, neither(even though I know there is so much to explore doing and achieving outside...none of which it's possible to achieve by constantly staying in).

However, another part of me knows; that all of this is just merely a passing mood; and, therefore, eventually, my spirits will begin to lift; and, I will...
-go out, and, socialize more
-take exercise/keep fit
-join a class/or, possibly, college/study
-be happy
-etc.

Generally speaking, it is my habit that whenever the winter months do come along; then, all I tend to do is mostly stay inside of the home; seldom going out ever. It's just too utterly freezing cold being outside; it's also cold staying in...as I cannot afford to keep the home adequately warm by leaving the central heating on, quite simply, forevermore. Whenever I do go and turn it on; it's only in short bursts last a hour or so; and, without double glazing/-etc.; then, as soon as you turn it off...all of the built up heat, quite simply, vanishes!

How much I do long for Summer; or, at the very least, some hot weather, to return. Only until then it's most likely I will continue to stay in.

EDUCATION/HOME BASED

Been studying programming codes, again. Still feeling completely shocked by how much I don't know, yet; meaning, it's not just 1 or 2 gaps inside of my knowledge; but, instead, it's more like my knowledge is missing, quite literally, 100's of gaps...?! Now-a-days, the whole entire programming language scene seems to have changed; and, I've been left most miserably totally behind; and, I really don't know if it will ever be possible to catch up, neither. However, I'm not the type to completely give up on myself altogether...believing where there's a will/then, there will also be found a way...; therefore, I'm certainly going to do my very best to try.

Recently, I've been looking at...
-HTML5
-CSS3(including both LESS/SASS frameworks)
-Javascript(OOP/plus, latest version: ECMA6)
-AngularJS
-Git/GitHub
-PERL
-Scratch 2 (signed up to do a course on it at Coursera.org just a couple days back)
-Sublime Text 3 (today, I went and downloaded it to try; the FREE version has a constant nag screen; in order to get rid of that then you will need to purchase the software outright; in addition to which, Sublime Text 2 seems to be the most stable version; which the number 3 version is still in Beta testing state)
Also, taking a few quick glimpses at learning the basics of Networking by watching a few 'teach yourself videos' on YouTube; in fact, now-a-days, that's by far my most fav. place to go and learn stuff without needing to, constantly, 'pay'.
-etc.

290116 Sent letter to BO explaining lateness

FINANCES

290116 Sent letter using 1st class to the benefits agency from Streatham GPO in order to explain why I had arrived on the Work Program 'late' due to eye inflammation. (The GPO clerk told me they might receive the letter, Monday.)

KEEP FIT

JAN16 I joined West Norwood Leisure Centre. Concessionary rate for people on benefits. Off peak access: 9 AM-4:15 PM weekdays/1 PM-6 PM weekends. (I haven't been attending regularly.)

MARTIAL ARTS

JAN16 I paid for a years subscription to Krav Maga. M/T/W/T/Sa. (I haven't been attending there regularly.)

220116 Fri 7PM I went to Tavistock Place, Wing Chun Kung Fu. (First lesson was FREE.)

260116 Tue 6:30 PM-8:30PM. I went to 64 Tyers St, Issinkai Aikido,  (First lesson was FREE.)

I was meant to claim a Groupon voucher to do Krav Maga in London, possibly, London Bridge; however, I still haven't claimed it, yet.

I'm thinking of going to Tokei Dojo, London Bridge; and, paying to join during the weekends. In particular, I'm interested in learning both Aikido/BJJ.

3YR BIKE WARRANTY/ROSEBERYS AUCTION/-etc.

Sat 21st Nov 2015 15:34 PM GMT

LATEST NEWS...

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

MY BIKE

Recently, I went and had my bike fixed at Brixton's Halfords. The cost was something like £153.00+; I hadn't had the bike serviced in absolute ages; possibly, 6 months up to a year long; the brakes weren't working at all/-etc.

I also returned back there and brought £40.00 of Labour/not parts warranty lasting up to 3 years long; so we're now in Nov/2015...the warranty should last until...Nov/2018.

This means in all I spent...

£153.00
£  40.00
   -------
£193.00

...which, I think, -considering the bike itself cost me: £199.00- is just quite simply ridiculous; however, so long as it means I can now ride feeling both safe/and, also, worry free.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

FINANCE...

GAMBLING

Recently, in fact, just yesterday, I went and played Roulette at William Hill online bookies...

http://www.williamhill.co.uk

...and, lost 1 grand. 

I borrowed the grand in the form of a bank loan; and, now, I have to repay it all back to the bank, again; which I'm sure is going to take me an awful lot of time; as I remain unemployed still.

NOTE: I might need to serious think about returning to GA/Gamblers Anonymous meetings, as before.

WORK

BENEFITS

Recently, I started signing back on at Streatham Job Centre. They had cut off my benefits completely for the previous 3 months. So, now, my benefits have been restored.

COUNCIL TAX

I need to remember to get in touch with Olive Morris house to inform them that I'm entitled to Council Tax benefit. 

SELF EMPLOYMENT

For a time, I tried going in for 'self-employment'; however, that didn't work out at all; as I didn't even manage to sell even one single thing. I was also meant to receive a job pack; which, I never ever did...? I need to talk about that to somebody...possibly, IXION work training people.

WORK TRAINING

I was doing some 'admin' role job training with FST/First Step Trust in West Norwood; near the local G.P.O depot.; however, I stopped doing that. Basically, I  found I was totally bored to death; plus, there were a million other fun things in life I could get on with doing, instead; including studying arts/-etc.

NOTE: IXION work training. Recently, I got a telephone call from IXION; they left a message on my answer machine saying I should get back to them...in order to update them on my present work circumstances.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

HOME IMPROVEMENTS/EVEREST WINDOWS CONTRACT CANCELLED

I ordered 3 new windows to be done from Everest. They charged me £226.00+. I cancelled the order as being far too expensive. Nevertheless, those windows will still need to be done. Perhaps, I will try some other company such as Anglia/or, have someone fix it, privately, instead.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ROSEBERY AUCTION HOUSE/BROUGHT 2 ITEMS

Today, I went and attended a Rosebery's Auction; and, ended up buying 1 x plate/and, 1 book; altogether the full cost was: £146.74.

I would be proud if I'd gone and brought things that were worthwhile owning. However, what I actually brought was the cheapest items they had on sale. I didn't do any pre-research; instead, I just let myself buy entirely on impulse, alone...which was a really big mistake. Afterwards, now, I realise I should not have brought these 2 items; as they are, in fact, perfectly useless to me; and, I doubt that Rosebery's will even want them back to put in a re-sale; but, instead, I think, they just wanted to get rid of it by dumping the items on to any damn fool who was willing and stupid enough to buy.

The collectors plate is no. 333 in an edition of 500. That's fairly useless.

The other item a book; contains abstract work by some Spanish author/artist; who's name I never even heard of before; and, whose work I never even seen before? In fact, after seeing it...I can honestly say I don't like it at all.

The problem was at the auction; all I got to see was the on screen slide show; I didn't not get to either see/or, handle, inspect the actual goods themselves up close; therefore, that quite simply means I didn't even know exactly what it was I was buying; not until, of course, it was all too late! Now, I feel seriously sad and sorry for myself to have gone and wasted £146.74.

Here I have the Auction book details:-

KRAV MAGA, WEST NORWOOD LEISURE CENTRE

There are Krav Maga classes going on at my local WNLC/West Norwood Leisure Centre. The price is £50.00 per month. Frankly, I'm not too sure I will be able to afford it.

Today, I  went over there to WNLC, and, saw, Remy, the Krav Maga teacher; who invited me to attend a class; however, most unfortunately, I was very busy...had to go and attend a local auction, instead; therefore, I didn't go.

I still want to join in; but, I guess, that will have to quite simply wait; until whenever funds are available; and, also, I'm not so very busy.

TAI CHI, HYDE PARK

I haven't been attending doing any Tai Chi classes with American teacher Jake inside of Regents Park; where I used to go on Saturdays. Hopefully, I will go again...possibly, next Saturday; that is, if it doesn't conflict with any other classes I'm taking.

BAIJI QUAN, CLAPHAM COMMON

I haven't attended going to Clapham Common, anymore, to take FREE BaiJi Quan lesson on Saturdays; and, also, paid for (£5.00) lessons at Soho Chinese Community Centre on Tuesday evenings. Frankly, I been broke; and, also, feeling far too lazy.

TOKEI DOJO, LONDON BRIDGE, MAGDALEN STREET

I was thinking of joining Tokei Dojo to weekend lessons of Aikido/-etc. I believe, the cost is something like £15.00 per month; which, I think, is affordable. However, it's a long way to bike ride.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

FAMILY

I went to see my cousins in the country late yesterday evening. I wanted to deliver some presents, namely: series of books brought from off eBay:

Complete Vintage NEW JUNIOR ENCYCLOPAEDIA By Purnell 12 Volumes - 280 B51

...and, also, 2 x large sized illustrated children picture books costing £5.00 each: Dinosaurs/Science. I also gave them some choclate ice cream/together with a £10.00 box of choclatates brought from down at my local Sainsbury's.

Unfortunately, the little boy was ill with a serious cough; and, seemed to be in the process of giving it to the whole of his entire family; thus, I didn't stay there far too long; but, left as quickly as possible.

Father brought a new car.

The older boy showed me some 3D architectural software called: SketchUp.

WINTER WEATHER, KEEPS GETTING COLDER AND COLDER

The date is now 21st Nov 2015; and, already, the weather is becoming markedly colder; today, I rode my bike out there; and, the exposed flesh on both of my hands felt bitingly cold; my immediate thought was I need to start wearing gloves, again, real soon.

What I'm most worried about is the house has no proper central heating system to keep us warm; therefore, if the weather gets far worse...which, I honestly believe it will...then, it will be really hard staying at home; needing to carry around 'hot water bottles', constantly, all the time. I think, I will have to buy some Calor gas canister tanks to put in the heater; however, I heard it's extremely expensive, now-a-days, something like £42.00 per gas canister!

021115 ANNUAL SUBSCRIPTIONS: Office/Adobe/Lynda

MARTIAL ARTS

I was doing FREE Tai Chi classes with a young 20+ year old American teacher called, Jake, inside of London's Regent Park during the weekends. However, Jake is only in Regent's Park on Saturday's 1PM, now; and, on Sunday's his class is in Finsbury Park, instead. Finsbury Park is too far for me to travel; which means I can only attend Tai Chi no more than 1 day per week.

For around 5 or more weeks long I haven't been attending any further Tai Chi lessons; nor have I been practicing at home; therefore, everything that I was taught is now already long forgotten...?!

I hope to return back to class, possibly, next Saturday. I should have returned back this last Saturday; however, my mind got distracted/I felt extremely lazy/it was far too wet, and, cold; plus, my bike is still in the process of getting repaired at Brixton Halford's bike shop.

BIKE

My Apollo Encounter model bike brakes were no longer working, properly, anymore; therefore, I decided to send the bike in for repairs from where I did originally buy it, namely, Brixton Halfords. Much to my dismay the quoted bill came to £164.99(including £50 labor costs); when the bike itself did originally cost £199.99. So, at first, I was extremely unwilling to pay that sum...taking the 'unfixed' bike away to 'think' about it...thought to myself that I might as well buy a brand 'new' bike, instead. However, after feeling it's much too dangerous to be riding around on the streets of London with a bike that isn't working properly; therefore, I decided to send it in for repairs, anyway.

05/060915 Sat/Sun Regent's Park/Hyde Park/Holland Park

05/060915 SAT/SUN: TAI CHI/JAKE

Recently, over the last 3 or 4 weeks; I went and joined a MeetUp group which offers FREE Tai Chi lessons in Regents Park with teacher Jake, 10 AM-12:00 midday.

I've been attending fairly regularly; though, sometimes, I did arrive 'late'; so missed out on some of the lessons.

This weekend I went, again. On Saturday it was just 2 of us...Jake and me/and, today, it was Christine/me/and, Jake. So, generally speaking, it tends to be a rather small group practicing, regularly; however, I tend to much prefer it that way...as I can get more 'individual' attention from the teacher.

However, I do have to admit that I have not been practicing Tai Chi away from class; and, because of this I tend to forget an awful lot; as well as, my Tai Chi in general, physically speaking, is not improving. However, mentally speaking, I think, I've learned a awful lot.

HYDE PARK STREET ARTISTS SHOW

Near to the end section of Hyde Park professional artists do show off/sell their work on Sundays. So, I walked along looking and admiring stuff; only I had no money to be able to buy anything; though, I did get to talk with a lot of the artists themselves which was very interesting.

2 Artists whose work I saw were:-

-> Sadiq Toma
http://www.sadiqtoma.co.uk

-> Lucien Simon
http://www.luciensimon.com

HOLLAND PARK/KYOTO GARDENS

I decided to go and check out Holland Park, approaching it from the Holland Park tube station end; then, moving down towards South Kensington tube station which is located at the other end. On Sunday I decided to check out Kyoto Gardens which is located inside of Holland Park.

-> The Friends of Holland Park
http://www.thefriendsofhollandpark.org/

CHURCH/FULHAM ROAD/THE LADY OF DOLOURS

On Fulham Road there is a Roman Catholic church called: The Lady of Dolours; I went and visited their 'late' evening mass on Sunday. It's a very beautiful church; with lots of statues/paintings.

BATTERSEA PARK

I came home after crossing along Albert Bridge to enter Battersea Park...riding my bike straight through...to come out at Battersea Dog's home; then, off home towards Vauxhall, Streatham, West Norwood.

MARTIAL ARTS RELATED

KRAV MAGA CLASSES COMING SOON TO MY LOCAL WEST NORWOOD LEISURE CENTER

10 AM In the morning, I received a surprise phone call from Sunnil -(my martial arts: Krav Maga, training partner) who lives in Tulse Hill. He stated that he's near West Norwood Leisure Center, I should come and meet him there. So, I agreed. It took me around 5 minutes to get ready; and, then, ride my bike down there. He said, he's there waiting for Remi the Krav Maga training instructor to appear; as he Sunnil works for these Leisure Centre's; and, Remi wanted him to introduce him to the people in charge so that he could set up running Krav Maga training courses, soon.

Eventually, Remi arrived; and, greeted me with both a smile, and, a handshake. I had a brief chat with him; in regards to the prices; and, Remi mentioned £50.00 monthly/£10.00 on a per class basis. Then, I let both of them get on with doing their business.

Myself, I went and collected a FREE Metro newspaper for my mum from West Norwood train station; and, then, set off back home, again.

ARTS RELATED

SHORT STORY WRITER: REGI CLAIRE

Sometime earlier during the week; I think, it was weekend...I was walking through Vauxhall, Vincent Van Gogh Walk; when I saw a FREE book exchange service. Take a book/leave a book. I took out a short stories book called: 'Fighting Fit', written by author: Regi Claire; which is what I'm currently reading, right now. This morning I also went to visit Amazon.co.uk web site; and, ordered 2nd volume of hers called: 'Inside/Outside', she appears to be a rather unique, and, great short story writer.

ABSTRACT ARTIST: JACKSON POLLOCK

I went and brought a book from off eBay.co.uk; won it at the bid price of around £4.00. It's a Taschen volume in regards to the life/works of famous 'abstract artist' Jackson Pollock. It was a very good introductory read; and, I was surprised to discover that I liked seeing most of his artworks where were both original, and, graphic wise very strong. (It almost inspires me to go have a go at doing some 'abstract art' myself.)

WORK RELATED

TOOTING/THE WORK PROGRAM

I was meant to attend the Streatham Job center directed work program at Tooting; however, I did not bother going for all this week; therefore, it's highly likely they will send me a letter requesting me to explain why I did not turn up; and, if I can't come up with a good enough excuse I'm sure they will add a further 3 months sanction onto my benefits; which has already been withdrawn up to OCT 9TH 2015.

Plus, I haven't been attending the Self-employment course every Thursday, neither. Which is another thing they may wish to sanction my benefits for.

Recently, I been feeling very stomach sick; so, instead, of going out...I decided to stay in; until when my stomach does fully recover. I didn't wish to have a full blown ulcer attack which might lay me back in bed for say whole entire months. However, I did not go and get any doctors certificate, neither; so, therefore, I have no official explanation/or, proof as to why I didn't attend.

I'm also meant to re-apply to work at the Bakkavour warehouse food factory in Hangar's Lane; the job interviews do take place every Monday.

FRIDAY

I woke up this morning to check my bank balance; much to my surprise, I'm -£37.00 overdrawn. Each day that I'm overdrawn the bank helps themselves to £6.00 charges per day. Plus, more interest charges on my 2 grand overdraft loan charged at the end of the month amounting to around £30.00+. This is why they say that "everyday, the rich are getting richer/and, the poor even poorer still." It's completely ridiculous!

Where the hell am I going to get £37.00 to pay this overdrawn limit off, I wonder...?!

I also checked my bank online statement -which I tend to do nearly each and every single day- because when you are poor you nearly always exist at the limit of being overdrawn...which means further charges are likely to accumulate; and, it says that OCS Cleaning company has paid me £24.00; however, I worked there 'one' night: 20th August 2015, from 7PM-1AM...which, I calculate, is 5 hours long...emptying dustbins at the Oval Cricket Grounds. If the minimum wage is: £6.50 per hour; so, 5 x £6.50 = £32.50; I believe, they are short-changing me.

NOTE: The -£37.00 OD charge still remains after I was paid by OCS...as British Gas company has charged to my a/c. two lots of...

-£38.00 (Monthly Direct debit, for having £200.00 outstanding on the gas bill to pay)
-£26.18 (Monthly Direct debit for Gas Boiler service charges)
  --------
-£64.18

200815 Quit Job: OCS Cleaning/Art Galleries: Tate Britain

200815 JOB: OCS CLEANING/OVAL CRICKET GROUNDS - FINISHED JOB/I WALKED OUT

I haven't had a 'serious' job in years/possibly, decades. Instead, what I did in the mean time I would class as being purely 'voluntary work'; either 'unpaid'/or else, very low pay, indeed.
For example, currently, I'm doing Admin work -one day per week- for a company called, First Step Trust; and, it's a 'job placement' meaning they only pay your travelling cost fares...which is £1.50 per half day: 9:30 AM-1:30 PM/£3.00 a full day: 9:30 AM-5 PM.
Streatham Job Centre sent me to the Work Program which is based in Tooting; which aims to put 'unemployed' people into proper 'paid' work. Each individual job seeker is assigned a particular Work Program Advisor. So, I told my Advisor, Philip, get me 'any' job; but, NOT cleaning; which, from my own previous bitter experience, I know I do absolutely hate! What does the Advisor go and do, next...he gets me a job in Cleaning; he even went so far as to tell me to my face that this role is 'ideal' for you. Needless to say, I didn't even bother to reply to that; otherwise, we might end up actually physically fighting together!
Anyway, the job they sent me to is OCS Cleaning at Oval Cricket Ground. It's not regular work as in Mon-Fri/9AM-5PM; but, instead, it's purely contractual work; meaning whenever there is an event at the Oval Cricket Ground such as a Cricket match...then, that's when they text you to come there to work. When the event/event's is/are over with; then, there is no further work. So, work is basically periodical...for, 'one' day/or else, a series of days. You can also chose to do either day shift/or, else night shift. I chose to do night shift...because I was so embarrassed to have to do cleaning; that I didn't wish anybody to see me doing that type of work.
I've worked there 3 days so far to date.
One Friday night, they sent me off to go and empty bins; which I did from 7PM-1PM morning.
Another Friday night, I arrived there 1 hour late; and, again, I emptied bins from around 8 PM until 10 or 11 PM.
They next hired me to work there for a series of 5 days, lasting from the 20th up to the 24th Aug 2015 from 6:30 PM upwards.
Well, on the 20th day, I went...and, as usual, emptied bins from 7 PM-1 PM...with 1 hour break in between...lasting until 2 PM. The supervisor asked me what time do I intend to leave? I answered 5 PM. Then, they asked me to go and clean the toilets. That's when I walked out...!
Ever since then I've not been back there anymore. I thought really hard about going back...; but, just can't seem to find enough 'courage' to do so...?! They are paying me the 'minimum wage' which is £6.50 per hour; and, I'm just not willing/or, desperate enough to go and clean toilets for that money; or, indeed, for any money whatsoever no matter how high. If there is one cleaning job I just can't stand; then, cleaning toilets is it. I guess, they got me at my breaking point. So, I decided to just simply quit. I will clean floors/windows/glass/empty bins; but, sorry, I ain't cleaning no toilets. Not unless I wish to end up deeply depressed/'psychopathic'; totally hating the world, and, absolutely everyone and everything in it.
So, I guess, it's back to being 'unemployed', all over again. I just cannot bring myself to go back there and do that job, anymore. My decision is 'final'. I went right up to the gates each evening: 21st/22nd(today)...but, just couldn't get myself to go in; so, instead, I rode my bike straight back home, again.

I went to see the Stephen Wiltshire art gallery near Regent's Street, today. Unfortunately, the gallery itself was closed; but, I could still see the drawings from outside through the large panes of window glass; plus, there was a movie of him playing of him at work.
