That was the week that was (again)

Visted a care home in Kettering earlier for the second time. My previous visit didn't show it in a good light and the timing was all wrong.

It worked out OK today and I have decided to get things moving to have Jermaine transferred there ASAP.

I was also able to get some things clarified with the PCT to get them to understand there needs to be more clarity over the financing arrangements so that I can manage Jermaine's money better, they agreed to do this more in the future.

I made an appointment earlier to get 'power of attorney' over Jermaine, this should ensure no one can cut me out of the loop with regard to his care and that I can also easily act on his behalf. In other words, restoring my status as his dad and I really feel quite good about that to know I can still play an active role in his future.

Hopefully gave Nick some last minute advice with regard to his move and financing it. I suspect it'll be put off but hopefully he'll realise before it is too late that if he wants control over it and the ability to get the right place, he needs to have no delays.

I am so looking forward to Gran Canaria. I found out today that one of my friends from Northampton is going to be there the first week (Andy) so hopefully can meet up at some point and catch up seeing as we have not seen each other for months what with him working down in London. I can probably arrange to meet him whilst Martyn is off doing his thing on the Thursday or something unless Martyn would like to meet him as well, I just can't remember if they have met but think so.

I meant to speak to Robbie this evening but got back way too late and I am getting a little tired myself, sorry Robin.

I have the weekend off from chores ... yeah, like that is going to happen!

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...

It's a Small World After All

In life we are said to meet one soul mate, that special person we can totally relate to, who loves us no matter what and we love them the same. There was a time, not so long ago when we only had the people within a few streets of us to find them from. Then there were trains and telephones and we might find them in the next town. Cars came along to make life easier, TV showed us a bigger view and they might now be anywhere in the country. Then we got air travel and the internet, we've a whole world to choose from. Our streets is now a planet so, why are you alone precisely? My soul mate is 6,668 miles away flying in a dead straight line, that's like, wow!
