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.

You Bloody Idiot

I had a really enjoyable time in Meltham with Stan and Pete, even that walk against the wind up the pub on Saturday evening in a blizzard was fun. On the way there I thought it’d be fun to take some pictures of the car in the snow. I had not realised just how windy it was, I seriously thought my door was stuck when I tried to open it but it was just being pressurised by the forces outside. I am lucky really the wind had not been behind me else the door would have been ripped off. On the way back on Sunday I paid a visit to Sue in Sheffield. I like Sue and she is a great conversationalist. The journey was not without incident as the satnav kept failing and crashing and just became useless. I eventually tracked the problem down to the loudspeaker connection for the mount and once I’d removed that it was stable and guided me well to Sue’s door. I am really happy to report that the steroid injection I had last week as helped ease my pain. I still have the pain but it is not restricting me ...

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...

There are some funny people in this world!

Earlier on this year someone added me on Facebook. Quite soon she was adding many people I knew. We were starting to wonder who this was as there was so little on her profile. To be on the safe side and, suspecting it may be someone pretending to be someone else, I was careful what I wrote to them. Eventually, it did become very obvious it was someone faking a profile. I challenged them to stay if they wanted but, today they deleted the profile. I have never done anything to upset this person, I just exist. She added me and my family just to take the piss out of us and to try and get extra ammunition to use against my friends, it is all rather sad. Speaking of sad … Look, I fully understand that James has issues, what they are, I don’t have a clue but he has them and it is for Daisy and him to sort out. I think Daisy would have liked to sort it out between them but, it seems, they are going to have to take the legal route. I totally get all that. I don’t like it but – such is life....
