Chapter 11

Rejected again

Released from HMP Earlstoke October 2007, I had arranged and paid for a new house in the area of Trowbridge, a brand new 4 bed 3 story house, it was perfect, I got sky in all the rooms for kids, all arranged from a jail cell! I planned on moving there for a fresh start with my ex Laura and kids Mikee and Jo.

However Things didn’t go to plan, on my release I found myself alone at the gate. Laura didn’t come to meet me, this was strange and I went straight to a phone shop buying a phone I called her, she had decided at the last minute she didn’t want to live in Trowbridge! With Thousands wasted and left alone in that house I fell into depression. Not having much money round me I soon got some deals going, and got myself up there again, within weeks I was driving a new range rover sport, driving back to Reading I confronted Laura and she admitted she didn’t want to be with me anymore, it later turned out she was seeing some lad on the estate. (More detail to come) estimate 2 pages

I remained in Trowbridge and got into a bit of work, we was talking on the phone and A few weeks later she decided she did want to be family, I think this was after she got offered a housing association flat, and me now being in the money helped as the flat needed kitting out! As my kids were my world and I had cheated on her constantly for the 10 years we were together I managed to put her fling with this lad to the back of my mind. Moving into the flat together I spent £15.000 kitting it out! We spent the whole of 2008 in the flat as a family, however i was not happy and my cheating had escalated, I was away most weekends, I even drove to Ibiza on a whim with a few lads, me driving the new BMW M5 I had just got. It cost about 2 grand in full to get there and back, we got chased going through France and caught on the speed gun going 176mph, I’ll tell you more about that later.

With All this going on we was arguing a lot and Laura still had the court case for the gun to face. The relationship had become a habit and I was only there for the kids, I’m sure it was Laura’s intention to pursued me to take the rap for the gun and get her off, but her cheating fling prevented me from doing this and I left her to fight the charge alone.
