Title Edited Text

I met Deimantė at T L C this morning, around 11:36. We sat in the usual spot and she immediately started talking about the clients. She’d dropped the rate from £22.50 to £21.50 an hour – apparently some of them were grumbling. She seemed relieved to have done it, but then her mood shifted when she mentioned her car. White smoke pouring out of the exhaust, she said. And then a late PCN arrived. She’s been juggling money, William upset she didn’t visit yesterday, and now this. I tried to listen, offered what I could. She asked if I could pick up cat food, and I said yes. She also needs gloves for cleaning – I’ll grab those at Home Bargains later. We talked about Eurovision for a bit – she’s rooting for Lithuania’s entry, Olenchiko, and hoping next year’s contest makes it to Vilnius. She’s planning to meet a childhood friend in two weeks, which seemed to lift her spirits slightly. But there’s still that tension underneath, the same drama with Inetta and Vineta that’s been dragging on months now.

After the meetup, I headed out to Parkway Central and Home Bargains. Picked up a few bits – cat food, gloves, some other household stuff. By 15:27 I was back home. The afternoon was quiet until my phone started buzzing with messages.

John Taylor again. The car tax dispute is getting worse. He’s threatening to resign if he loses the car. I’ve refused to pay the remaining £46 – it’s his debt, not mine. He promises to pay on Tuesday out of his Universal Credit payment – he says it’ll be £2,194. But I don’t trust that. He also brought up Bradford City’s play-off match, asking if I could help him stream it via VPN. I didn’t respond to that.

Then Suzana Janachkova messaged. Marcel won a multi-million pound council contract – big news. He went to a business dinner to celebrate. She asked me to finalise an invitation draft for some event. Also mentioned a bouncy castle event with lots of parents – she’s organising something, I think.

Later, Janice Rafraf confirmed the airport trip. We’re driving to Birmingham Airport – her flight is at 17:40. Plan is to leave Yarm by 10:00, pick her up in Sheffield by 13:00, arrive around 15:00. She suggested an earlier departure and a food stop. I agreed.

Rafal Wisniewski sent a few messages but nothing important. I’m tired. It’s been a day of other people’s problems stacking up.

Message Day

Deimantė Kavaliauskaitė

Deimantė informed clients of a price change from £22.50 to £21.50/hour, drafted messages to Laura, Helen, and others. She had car trouble (white smoke from exhaust) and a late Sheffield PCN for which she may appeal. She planned to buy cat food after a day and a half, asked for gloves to be given tomorrow, and finished a 3-hour cleaning job requiring an invoice. She discussed Lithuania’s Eurovision entry (Olenchiko) and expressed hope to attend next year’s contest in Vilnius, and mentioned meeting a childhood friend in two weeks. There was emotional tension over William being upset she didn’t visit him yesterday.

Message Day

John Taylor

The conversation revolves around a dispute over car tax: the user refuses to pay the remaining ~£46 to tax a vehicle John uses for work, citing multiple broken promises to send money, while John insists he will pay on Tuesday (12 May) from his Universal Credit payment and threatens to resign if he loses the car. Earlier, they discuss watching a Bradford City play-off match, with John noting a £14.99 day membership on Now TV and suggesting a VPN to stream from Bradford’s website. John also sends a UC screenshot showing his next payment of £2,194, and the user mentions SORNing the car to avoid a DVLA fine.

Suzana Janachkova

Suzana told the user that Marcel won a multi-million pound contract with a council and went for a business dinner. She asked the user to finalise an invitation that day so she could start sending invites. They also discussed a bouncy castle event with many parents present, and Suzana shared an Instagram reel about Marcel. No pricing, disputes, repairs, health concerns, or emotional tensions were raised.
