My bad
forgot to post this here too
Thought I had but been really busy
I did mean to post it Weds 21st
Hi all,
I know I've been a bit strange(er) than usual so far this year.... (Spy Hunter valuation, needing cheering up, etc)
Well... I'm now in a position to give an update to you guys...
Arcadewise....
Pinball - staying
Jamma Cab - staying
Spy Hunter - staying
PCB's - going to be cut down some.
Real world life wise....
One
of my Uncle's has been diagnosed with cancer and has been given about 6
months to live. Now at 82 he says "I've had a good life and regret
nothing" great outlook imo, however it still all came as a shock to us.
Then also this year I got promoted then demoted to less money...
And
finally.... the one I couldn't mention till now.... I still can't go
into great detail about most of it but I can give a brief outline..
As
some people know I'm a grandad at the tender age of 36. Well my
grandson was born in Jan this year and in Feb he went into care. So for
the last 6 or so months me and the missus have been assessed for
suitability to become "Special Guardians" this included CRB checks,
house checks, pet checks, whether our cars had MOT's the list is
honestly endless!
Well court day was today so we travelled off to
Chester and the judge has granted the order with approval of Social
Services and someone appointed in his best interests. I can't go into
much more detail on the how's and whys except to say 6 months ago the
missus and me chatted and decided that we would do anything needed to
stop him leaving the family and being adopted.
We get him
permanently on the 31st Aug so we need to get the house ready for him
now. I may put a few pcbs up to cover a few things, who knows!
So
we know now where we stand and can now begin to plan our lives again
as everything has been on hold. The stress has been unbelievable
To end..... as I told the missus on the drive back.... I now have my Player 2
