It changes but gets no better

The carers started on Monday but arrived half an hour late. They got lost but didn’t think to call as they knew they were in the right area! They did stay a little later to make up the time.

Speaking of the carers, they are driving us mad because they take over. They have Jermaine sitting in the lounge and they sit with him dominating the TV and the main family room so that everyone else feels awkward in there. If we hang around the house we are asked loads of questions, they want to be part of everything that happens here and we just can’t do what we normally would do and it is driving us a bit nuts.

Yesterday I popped over to Robin’s for a while, had a look at his PC and no doubt managed to progress it no further in the direction of righteousness but instead it will probably play up again straight away. It is also possible that Zoey could be allergic to dogs. She was fine before we arrived yet on the way home she appeared to have an awful cold which has gone today ... shall have to take her again to be certain.

Not having anything booked for the remainder of today I may well go to bed for a while as a treat, there is only so much getting out of the house that I can do that is either affordable or healthy!

Spoke to J Heep earlier and she seem to be taking the attitude that I have claimed way too much already in this request for remedial payments to put right what Jermaine has ruined so no doubt her recommendation will be vastly reduced accordingly.

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...

Not a good day

Today is a very emotional one for me. I have no idea why that would be the case but apparently it is. For a day that had nothing pre-arranged this one has turned out quite busy. First, I agreed to take Matt for breakfast though I wasn't really hungry. He was being quite argumentative in the morning about some thing or other, I don't recall what exactly but some matter of politics where he was going to argue the toss whilst knowing little or nothing about it. But, even so, I was quite upbeat as Jermaine had gone to school on time ... no, scrub that, i was upbeat until I yet again had to tell Zoey to get her arse out of her room, downstairs, do her chores and get to school, that is when this day started to go downward. I spent way too much money on a new doorbell, true, we needed one but not one that cost nearly £50! This too has not helped. I went to see a garage that can fit parking sensors to my car, all well and good but they needed me to supply paint to match the circles up ...
