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.

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....
