Boy, This one is Late!

Firstly, the updates ...
 
My insurers have been sitting on their hands awaiting something from the dreaded 'AutoGlass' but nothing has been forthcoming except promises. In the meantime, I am still waiting for something to get moving regards to getting my car sorted.
 
I have told Social Services that I need to have the hours carers are here greatly increased, they seem less than enthusiastic. That is going to panel next Tuesday so expect me to be seething some time on Wednesday.
 
My MP, Sally Keeble, has yet to respond at all to letters written to her several weeks ago, no surprise there then.
 
One of Jermaine's big carers broke one of my chairs earlier and then told me I have to go buy a new one. I said I'd call his boss and get him to buy a new one!
 
The care home we want for Jermaine in Bedford is still having real trouble getting the go ahead to have someone approve the insulin injections, again, no surprise there.
 
On a more relaxed note, the weekend just gone went really well.
 
Yet again I entered the wrong information into the satnav which added an hour to my journey, boy was I knackered by the time I arrived at David & Greg's in Clapham!
 
Spent a short while watching Children in Need but then, the details of the reaction I got from that are in the previous thread!
 
Got up at a reasonable time and after breakfast with the guys I headed for the station and my onward trip to Waterloo and then the Tate Modern to meet the Kagoul guys.
 
Martyn and I played a short game of swapsy with our phone calls which made me go and start the giggles getting several people giving me strange looks. So, in for a penny, in for a pound, I followed a little kid down the stairs skipping all the way, he and I both had great fun.
 
Walked all the way to Tate Modern only to discover the guys were headed back for the London Eye that I had just walked from, oh well, keeps me fit I guess.
 
The London Eye was amazing, rather, the views were amazing, the Eye itself was rather ordinary as rides go. There are plenty of pictures to look at on http://www.dizzyqueen.net/kagoul
 
Followed this with a meal at Café Emm's which was OK, nothing spectacular in itself but the company made up for it.
 
Several of the guys went off to check into hotels whilst 6 of us went on to the Duke of Wellington for drinks and to reserve tables. The others joined us later and a fun time was had by nearly all.
 
Back to David & Greg's by midnight, slept in until gone 9am and then headed home around 11am, home here by 1:15 in the afternoon on a lovely crisp winter day (OK, technically autumn but if it looks like and smells like winter, it's winter whatever the season!)

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....
