                                         The other alternative Christmas message brought to you by us


By now the the big clean up after all the festivities of the 25th December are starting to take place . Was it all worth it. I will not debate it here I will lave it up to you. I do have an opinion about the sales which start on the morning of the 26th.This morning I looked out from blogger towers  at 0430 hrs ( dalmeny time) only to see taxis picking up people I know who work in shops. I trust that the fare will be paid by their employers as most will be on low minimum wage and one I know is only 17 & has just left school.

Anyway back to our little part of East Renfrewshire there is little to report The ongoing a saga about the transfer of the hall to a local boxing club is still going on I am  still weighting a reply on several questions on the issue.

This now takes me to what are you doing with all the wast from the holiday I trust you will dispose of your rubbish in the proper manner and not fly tip anything.
 All local tenants will have seen the lead in the last issue of the tenants news letter. Above photo was used with our permeation.

                                       I will leave now and and will return soon.

                                               I hope that all  will have a happy time.

Are people are not getting their heating fixed in the social rented sector?.
Is this what our country has come to. I seem to recall a former onetime government minister stating people (old ) can sit in their homes with outdoor coats on. .

So mush for being honorable people!  

Anyway we hope all the kids out there have a fabulous time .
  A I think this is what I will do to laptop.

                                                                         Hi Gang
          Only a few days to go and I was taking my life in my hands by going down to the shopping mall in  Breahead you would think it was the end of the world.

You will have to forgive me as laptop is in the blink and the old desk top is not as good  however I do like the typing position.

                             We wish you & yours all the best over the holliday.

With all the cuts

             To quote an old saying it is better to give than receive. How true this is. Last weekend down at reuseit http://www.reuseit-er.co.uk people arrived looking for the council amenity when it was explained to them just what this project was about they were only too happy to leave what they had. On looking  arround they mad a small purchase. On leaving the commented if gave them a good felling just to give something . 

We must try and take what is being spun in the popular press with an open mind and just not take everything in that is printed in the media or in the on line version's.

 May I refer to the latest buzzword or mantra from parts of the right wing press which is pension scrounger.  


I will be attending a briefing meeting soon on the cuts and what is happening and will post a summery A S A P.

As for now please look after each other and look in on any vulnerable person you may know about .
It is not interfering it is about care.

                                                              Have a nice day all.















  

It is cold

               What a morning out there it is getting colder or is it me getting older ?,
 As it is getting near Christmass we should think of all the people out there less fortunate than us.

Loneliness is one of the worst things out there.
 
On Monday I will be attending a meeting down at the council offices  I will report back after this meeting.  
 
Remember people out there keep warm.  
 
And be happy.

.                                              Yes it is only a short time to bah humbug day

I do understand how some people must feel. Yesterday I was sitting in a shopping mall having a coffee thinking Christmass past during bad times dinner was shared baked beans on toast with some cheese. Then a walk in the park ( St James London ). We still had warmth and  a roof some people were sleeping out .

The reason was the place where we both was worked a real B****** had ran off with the pay roll we were paid cash at that time.

                            Still we were happy so just count the day and think of each other.

It is one thing paying our bills but it has come to our attention that some home owners  are having issues when it comes to repairs to heating systems.We have been informed that one oner is being left without heating till Monday. If you hear about any one requiring help please assist if you can.

After watching the broadcast from politicians I have come to belive that all in politics should be fitted with lie detectors with a flashing lite on their head that comes on when the tell the truth.
