Is it really already?

Oh my, this will never do … I have just been so neglecting this blog

What have I been up to then? Well, no flippin’ goat herds, that’s for sure.

My contract with my isp v21 expires in a couple of weeks and I am going to switch providers, I simply don’t need the aggro I get off them and they are no where near as cheap as they once were. Most likely be switching to Demon.

I am still not 100%, perhaps I should have settled for the mittens? Anyway, throat reasonably clear but I am still talking a little weird and cough now and then … I can live with that for now but will get it checked out if it carries on.

Just found out yesterday that the guy investigating the social services complaint sends his report to them and they add their conclusion which seems totally pointless, they just as well write it themselves if they don’t have to accept anything in it.

Things are finally moving on the placement for Jermaine to the Chalfont in Bucks. It turned out they sent their report to social services who didn’t think of passing it to health. I sent a reminder and health now have a copy so it is going to panel for them to throw a wobbly.

In the meantime back on the ranch, I have had to remind Temi, one of Jermaine’s carers, that she must be clear of the kitchen by 6pm. She has taken to not starting anything until 5:30 and still being in there doing washing up at 6:45 which was leaving no time for us to get a meal prepared properly and in private. I think they sometimes forget whose house this is. They also asked for Jermaine not to go into respite this weekend. Not because they thought there was some benefit to him or us but because they want the overtime, what a cheek!

Checked out Airmiles earlier to see if I would save money using them going to Florida later in the year. Turns out that if I fly to Atlanta I just save £110 but if I fly direct to Orlando I actually pay slightly more in cash than I would do if I booked the flights elsewhere. So, I spend £100 of Tesco vouchers to save £110, can’t see the point in that at all!

The minute I walked in the door (queue trumpets), I could see it needed cleaning so I got the mop out, how exciting was that? Not only that but I did two wash loads and don’t have any washing left to do in the house, in fact, sod all left to do at all! I am so going to get me some voluntary work because this is driving me nuts!

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...

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...
