Nice to be blogging again!

Totally forgot my login details for this thing for a few days which was a right pain but here I am back again!

I was meant to be going to a meeting of the Motor Neurone Disease lot in the afternoon on Sunday but Daisy announced that her friend was coming around and he had epilepsy and really, an adult should be around so I cancelled. Then, when it was too late, she said he had called earlier to say he couldn’t make it! Oh well, it taught me a valuable lesson, I cannot afford to agree to do voluntary work that includes weekends at all.

Called MND this morning and told them that unless they could come up with something that involved daytimes during weekdays and also looked good on my CV that I was sorry, I couldn’t help them.

Cleaned the car yesterday and before I had a chance to drive it today a bird had already shat on the windscreen!

Coloured Matt’s hair earlier. It is not blonde as it should have been but rather orange which, as it happens, works quite well on him!

Dj started her periods today and I had to break the news to her that this does not mean that every 28 days he gets time off school!

Have a friend due here soon and really looking forward to it. It would have been better if we could have gone somewhere this evening but such is life I guess, we shall do something tomorrow.

Budget Day

So, we have the ‘Let’s buy a whole host of gullible voters day’ with George Osborne. No doubt we’ll be told how employment is rising, how the deficit is falling, how we’re all so much better off now than we were (compared to what?). We’ll be told that there are still tough times ahead but that only a Conservative government can steer us through them. It will be pointed out how inflation remains low, how not raising duty on fuel has helped everyone as is seen by the current lower prices at the pumps (it’s going up again George). In short, I should listen to this budget later and decide to vote Conservative in May but, I won’t. Labour certainly did nothing to avoid the mess the country got in but they didn’t cause it. They made the mistake of trying to be too conservative, allowing high finance the freedom to cause a catastrophic cock up for which they took zero responsibility. They made the mistake of allowing Gordon Brown to take the job of Prime Minister, one for which he is totally...

The soundtrack of my life

Hmm, life has this way of bringing about changes

Past couple of weeks we have had Adam take over as Zoey’s PA and an excellent job he is making of it, better already than anyone else before him but then, I knew he would be and he was, after all, my first choice when I was first able to get a PA for her, he just wasn’t available! Nearly a week ago now our Danny turned up rather early! He’s doing fine though and a healthy 8lbs 7oz. I am not sure just which way round it is but suspect that each time I look at Sean I see Danny! Daisy is boob feeding and managing really well though, somehow I can’t help but wonder how the hell she’s managing to stay awake? I am a very lucky guy to now have 4 wonderful grandchildren and so need a picture of them all together, one day, when they are all that much older, I’d love to do a trip with  them all to Disney, it’ll be totally magical to see their faces light up! Perhaps I need to buy more lottery tickets? Maybe I should stop buying lottery tickets? Adam has been add...
