Whizzing down to Disneyland

We got up early on the Tuesday and headed for The Channel Tunnel but arrived really early which, on the plus side, meant that we left an hour earlier than we were booked giving us more time for the rest of the day. It was around 10:00 when we arrived in France. It was clear roads all the way and we made extremely good time, we were at the hotel not much off midday.

The first room I was not at all happy with. Whilst it matched what we had booked it was not what I was expected. It was the 6th floor, the 6th floor is a smoking OK floor so first downer. The second problem was that it had an adjoining door to the next room, a historical not going to go there! Add to that the view was terrible. Sure it was a lake view but that was about all we could see. As I do I went to the reception and asked for a replacement, then switched my request to an upgrade explaining how special the holiday was to us. They didn’t have anything at that time but told us to come back later. This gave us time to dump the luggage and then head to the parks getting a few rides in and something to eat before heading back to the hotel.

When we checked back they had given us an upgrade to the 8th floor right in the middle with a balcony and a much bigger room too so we were happy bunnies. I think I annoyed the kids a little by complaining but I think they were also happy with the outcome.

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...
