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...

The soundtrack of my life

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...
