It doesn't rain but it pours down

Still, enough about the crap weather and it is set to get colder too ... but, enough about the weather already!

I love starting work early, it’s just such fun.

It dawned on me this morning that probably nobody had told the school transport to pick Jermaine up so I called them, woke the poor guy up in fact. It appears that the school is closed until Wednesday. One little problem just became a huge problem. I have Jermaine here and no carers.

Anyway, I do thankfully have some reliable emergency numbers to call now and was able to arrange for the carers to be here today and tomorrow after all so that is that little crisis over with and all before 7:35!

Don’t have a lot to do today, just some small shopping, Matt wants me to take a look at a music shop in town and then we are going to go over to Robin’s, this is assuming we can get Zoey out of bed which is proving more problematic than anything else I have done this morning.

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 ...
