rough ride

Had a lot of ups and down this week.
Downs

1. Had to bar philip for a few weeks. This 17 yearold decided with his friend to put vasaline on the door handles and windows. After Ruth cleaned it up, and they did it again (as well as throwing a plastic bottyle near a horse and rider). So they were barred for a week. But Philip decided to swear very loudly outside the Cornerstone when the Homework Club children were in. He got a warning, and then ignored that. So now he is out for two weeks. Lastnight he was hanging around the porch, which filled up with litter and spilled drinks very quickly. There was also terrorist graffiti scraped into our door. Then Philip decided to yell secterian insults upi the street, from outside the Cornerstone. That didn't set me upp fir the best night. The others were ok (apart from the ones Philip was telling to do 'bad' things), just a bit loud (but one fella does pick on ones he sees as weaker than him). Really wanted to stay at hoem today. Just shows how one bad boy can bug you.
2. No West Wing this week.
   Ups
   
3. Getting on great with new lad Eamon. Really keen to interact and join in. Has a bit of bother from some, but seems well able to cope. Good guy.
4. Today I got a pay rise and real compliments from the boss. Nice to have that, and different from a church setting, where you seldom get a payrise, and are made to feel guilty for asking for an increase along with inflation.
5. Recieved my Bob Hope CD. Great stuff.
6. Julie and Charlotte (and I'm not just putting this in because Julie will read this).
7. Off untill Tuesday.
