Did a job for a lady who was an alcoholic. In talking, she explained that her husband had left her and she had struck up a relationship with the builder who had been building her an extension, who also happened to be a friend of her ex husband.
She explained that she worked as a nurse, spending 12 hours a day and alternating night shifts sitting in a room with a guy in his early 30s who had some debiliating illness and was bed ridden. Her job was monitoring the equipment.
She was sacked as a nurse, got a job as a bank nurse, but was again sacked for not telling them that she had had a short spell in the nick due to her drinking and driving. She now had this job looking after this guy, was earning £800 per week for doing so and things were looking up.
The day i was last at her house, she told me that she was buying a triumph stag car that was advertised locally and she was looking forward to it. Low and behold, a few months later she is in my local paper. She has had a magor row with this builder boyfriend of hers, and she is chasing him down the road in her new car, ped out of her head trying to ram his van, with no headlights on. Back to jail and lost job again.
