Hello.
I have been shopping today. Town was surprisingly not too crowded.
I ran out of energy and got home exhausted, I was only doing groceries an essentials.
I am very happy to have been sent this year's alpine advent calender. Now it's really Christmas.
And also to see the blog stats, the blog is still being viewed a lot despite me not writing much.
I am so tired though, and in pain.
I don't think I will do tonight's carol singing session with church, sure they wont mind.
So tired.
I want to start doing some story writing really rather than blogging, but as I said, from middle next week, I will start doing one or two longer and more serious posts a day on here. And maybe I will do a separate day to day blog again.

Polo Toons
The clergy already knew that they are beyond discipline from the Diocese, they told me so in 2010.
The Bishop couldn't have done more damage if he had tried.
But he could have tried to be reasonable to me, and not taken Jane Fisher's advice/attitude.
The last thing I needed was this idiot threatening me and treating me like dirt.

flashbacks
Today I have flashbacks and tachycardia. I stopped taking magnesium some time ago, maybe I should start again.
Flashbacks are very disruptive and are one of the main barriers to me returning to work.
I was asked if I had a copy of the Steel report.
No, because they wouldn't dare give me a copy of a report done to destroy me on behalf of wrongdoers.
There is no doubt from Bob's meeting with Steel, that the report would harm me and not deal with the wrongdoing by the Dean and his clergy.

safeguarding?
another subtle 'oops, safeguarding messed up to protect the church's reputation', you have to look carefully to find it.

Good news oh you weary readers
Good news. From next week, my blogging will be less, due to exhaustion and another move, and Christmas. I will be producing a post or two every day, and less of this and that.
I am feeling sad that no-one has sent me an alpine advent calender this year. Please send me one. My old one will not work.
I had a cheerful day, decorating the tree. What tree? The tree I have been waiting to decorate for years. Although it is not my tree, because I do not have one.

FAO Diocese of Winchester
For the attention of the Diocese of Winchester.
You have dragged me into your row with Jersey, lost your row and left me severely damaged.
Now when are you going to deal with my complaints properly?
Your offer of 'help' was ludicrous as no help will ever take away the damage you have done to me, and I wouldn't trust anyone associated with you and who believes you, to help me.
Tony's blog
Tony has done a blog about the Dean.
The question is, why did the Bishop suspend the Dean and then let it be said that he was acting in good faith? Why not get to the good faith bit first?
http://tonymusings.blogspot.co.uk/2013/12/said-and-unsaid.html
Personally I do not believe that the Dean was acting in an appropriate way. Calling me wicked and saying I was not abused is not good practice. Nor is the way he handled the whole matter, he should have ensured that it was dealt with impartially, and as I mentioned at the time to the man at Autism Jersey, it could not be dealt with impartially by priests on the island, because all priests knew the church warden from Deanery Synod and Evangelical Alliance, and the Dean and his wife went to church and events with the church warden.

Carol Singing
Good evening.
Well I am very tired, but I had a lovely evening with my church, we went out carol singing and I didn't sing any alternative words and behaved myself, and after that we had a bit of a party, which was lovely and great fun, but I was exhausted by the end.
I hope to resume blogging tomorrow and provide something for those who are demanding some of the solid stuff about what happened to me, but tomorrow is looking busy and I have so little energy, so be patient :) please.

when will they learn?
When will these abusive churches learn? cover ups are not Christianity and not excusable.

The Church Warden, post 1. answer to request, please note, I can only deal with things like this a bit at a time.
I find this difficult to write, but I will do my best, and at some point I will share some of the many statements that I wrote about the church warden for the police, the Diocese and the people supporting me.
I am writing from memory, and my memory is full of trauma blanks. I have not come to terms with what happened with the church warden, and I have not been able to work through this in therapy, because in therapy we have been trying to help me cope with what the Diocese, past and present, have done to destroy me.
I had not been in Jersey long, and I was working at the weekends, so I had only been able to get to early Holy Communion and evening services.
So I went to the evening service at that awful church, I didn't know it was an awful church at the time.
It was only a small evening service.
The church warden came in, and this was surprising because he normally went to the Town Church with his wife and the Dean and his wife for the evening service as he did not like the evening service at his own church.
I can't remember why he turned up at his own church that evening. But he did, and he asked people who I was, and everyone said they didn't know.
He came and asked if he could sit with me, and I, really not knowing any better, said yes.
He told me he was church warden, and I was used to lots of safe church wardens on the mainland, so I assumed he was safe.
The Vicar's wife came over and sat with us, and the church warden said she was there to keep an eye on him, which maybe referred to this 'chaperoning' policy, which was so noticably absent the rest of the time. If this chaperoning policy ever properly existed.
Anyway, the churchwarden spoke to me alone outside the church afterwards, nothing untoward then, but two weeks? later, after another evening service, he took me for a walk, told me that God wanted me to be his adoptive daughter, and he held my hand as we walked, but if anyone walked near, he withrew his hand.
He said some unusual and inappropriate things, asking me if I used drugs or had boyfriends, and he said he wanted my Dad's phone number in case anything happened to me, which I thought was very arrogant and behind times, my dad was not my next of kin, I, even then knew I could choose my next of kin, and at the time, my fear of my family meant my Dad was not my next of kin.
I was not happy with his questioning of me, because it did not seem normal.
Anyway, the church warden sat with me in a shelter on the seafront and held my hand and told me about his life, how he had a wife and two sons and how he was a dinghy instructor and how he worked for Romerils, which he described as a 'Christian' company.
He took his hand away from mine when some children approached us.
He told me he 'had to go home or his wife would be angry' which seemed strange to me.
And then he told me he wanted me to go home with him.
So I did.
I completely innocently saw this as just friendship. I still have that naivety, sadly, I cannot tell properly what people's motives are.
But when we got to his house, his wife's immediate reaction was not good, but she quickly pasted on a smile and went to put the kettle on.
But her initial reaction remained with me. She looked angry and worried. She didn't know me and hadn't met me before, but she obviously was not happy at him bringing someone home like that.

Bishop
If the Dean is 'in the clear' as stated by the media, surely the Bishop should apologize to him, and also there should be an investigation into why the Bishop of Winchester launched the suspension of the Dean so publicly and in the way that he did?
And why the Bishop spent half a million on a conflicted investigation which excluded my version of things?
I know how badly the Dean dealt with things, but with the hijack of the investigation by Dame Steel, and no interest from John Gladwin and Christine Daley, my side got excluded, and that remains a fact.
As does the way the Bishop invaded my life and severely damaged me and threatened me for my reaction of begging to be left alone.

exclusive information, only available everywhere.
The Bishop thought he was in charge back then, obviously. He soon learned.

Due to the time and tiredness, the church warden request I received will be answered tomorrow.
Here is a link in the meantime.

anything and nothing
Dame Steel is reading my blog. awesome, maybe she wants my side of things?
Anyway.
I got back from church just 45 minutes ago, which is funny because I went to church at 9am this morning.
Well, since the morning service I've been hanging out with the gang, eating good food and playing cards (I am no good at cards as it uses the defective part of my brain), I decided not to go to the evening service, so I came back, weighed down with books, Christmas cards and cake :)
Ah, where did that long hot summer go, with all those long Sunday afternoons on the blanket with a book and a picnic?
I am told not to be so harsh on Peter, by respected mentor.
OK.
Peter you need a haircut.
There, that was more polite.
Polo has been doing cartoons.
His cartoons are not for the faint hearted or easily offended, although the Bishop wrecking ball ones were my request because the Bishop has been a tiny bit unhelpful.

Ten uses for Guernsey Gache:
- Bath sponge
- Door Stop
- Pillow
- Cannon Ball to fire at that other island
- Donkey Food
- Traffic calming measure
- Buoy
- Stool (no, not that kind)
- Hat (hollow it out)
- Rugby Ball
OK. Guernsey Gache is better than Jersey Wonders, cos who would want a doughnut without doughnut in it, right? That's just wrong.
