What a busy day!

Got the girls off to school, Matt had left already. Robin turned up around 9:30 and off we went to Sheffield to see Sue making good time on the way despite stopping for a drink on the way.

Had a great time with Sue, had to tell her that her ageing PC is well past its sell by date and she needs a new one but it really is and she does so there! Got the freeview working, my first one so pleased with that … a good signal helps! Got her new digital camera up and running and demonstrated that and also got her new telephones working as well. We had lunch at the Meadowhall Centre and I ate way more than normal and am still totally stuffed now! Arrived home shattered at something like 9:30 again so a 12 hour day and poor Robin must have been even more knackered as he’s going through a bad patch right now and did all the driving with me dozing off for several miles on the way home.

Daisy has managed to get up to 4 weeks grounding now because once again she has been telling lies and so blatant with it, she got a little slap too for being cheeky, I could have breathed on her harder but she got the point.

God I miss Tony

Been speaking to Liam in Wales quite a lot over the past few days. He’s 20 and cute and has a thing for older men. He’s fun to chat to but there is a certain distance involved and he’s unlikely to ever have a car and I am unlikely to ever do a journey to Wales just to say ‘hi’ so it’s not going anywhere. Besides … I do keep saying and mean it, I am not into casual sex with guys I hardly know so I guess nothing will happen at all!

Zoey’s teacher has again been upsetting her by insisting she brings in money for cookery even though I have mentioned several times now that I don’t pay for cookery items, if they want to have that part of the curriculum then the school can fund it … I get requests for money from that school almost daily, they just frankly take the piss.

The house stinks of overcooked fish, burnt rice and rotten eggs, I so wish it was summer so I could open all the doors and windows! Daisy had a cooking disaster earlier hence the smell and they were going to use some eggs but they had gone off, ewww.

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....
