Hmm, Thursday ... what happened to the week then?

Daisy is off school again, more nasty letters on my doorstep about attendance no doubt.

Matt decided that leaving at 7:30 this morning was a great idea and it was … had this morning been not Thursday. As it was, this is Thursday and he realised upon arrival in town that he doesn’t start college until 11 on Thursday so called daddy to come rescue him and, whilst at it, buy him breakfast at McDonalds!

He was only at college for 1:30 so hardly worth me going home and I did have some shopping to do anyway so off I went to Tesco via anywhere I fancied to do some window shopping first!

Got a call from the Healthy Department earlier, appears they have approved the funding for Jermaine to go for an assessment at the Chalfont Centre. This is only a first step. Once the assessment period is over (about 4 weeks) they then meet again to decide if they are going to fund his placement there. They may decide that they can find somewhere that they believe meets his needs better (read cheaper) so I have a battle on my hands to get things moving beyond where we are now.

My weight is coming off really well, even I am amazed by it and I am paranoid I am going to wake up fat again … back in lycra t-shirts again and loving it. Shame there is no one to share it with but then I am more doing it for me than anyone else and I certainly do feel better for it, very rarely getting tired during the day now.

Oh, I bought a new keyboard … I probably mentioned that didn’t I? Well, had it a few days and loving it, so much easier and very few typos now.

Had a really good evening with Rob in Rugby last night, would be all the more fun were I to get off my pert little arse and do some BSL course but fun all the same.

Seems like Martyn is having a rough time of it with the panto … oh dear. What’s the worst that can happen eh? The thing is a total cock up, the audience roars with laughter at all the mistakes and has a great time and several members of the cast are plotting murder …. All good clean fun and as long as the audience has a good time the panto is a success even if Cinders loses her voice; the ugly sisters lose their knickers and Baron Hardup gets a hard-on!

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 ...

Understanding the British

As a nation we are a funny lot. We get through the worries of life with humour. Not always good taste humour and the words 'too soon' are often mentioned! Now, this is not unique to us, many other countries adopt humour to get them through. I am going to show some ideas of humour here, don't shoot me, we're just musing this topic. Moment of silence for the people who agreed to live with shitty roommates because they "wouldn't be spending much time at home anyway" There is going to be a lot of pressure over the next few days to talk to friends and family. Fight it. Stay positive Anyway, you get the picture. Actually, most of those came from the USA. It's terribly British for one person to cough and a whole host of others stare and one person shouts, 'we're all dead now, he's got the virus'. Obviously it's not a joking matter but, without keeping our sense of the ridiculous we would go quite potty. Estimates c...
