Birthday update

I got a txt from Matt at something close to 1am saying they were enjoying themselves, no idea when they'd be home and 'happy birthday'

There was a thread started by Martyn on Kagoul which was really nice to read, that was the second thing I noticed.

I got an MMS from Simon wishing me a happy birthday, again, lovely

Nick called and came over and we watched 'The Producers' ... I love that film, am buying, enough said.

Robin called, always lovely

Daisy came home with Laura and gave me a card. They asked why I was working on my birthday and I said because no one else is volunteering. I also said that no one else emptied the dishwasher, no one else did the washing up from last night and no one else had done the garden in three weeks.

Total of 9 cards and 2 net cards, that is almost a record.

Gifts are ... bottle of champers, 2 DVD's. vouchers from Disney Store (They are so being spent tomorrow and I know what on too (thank you). A bottle of Calvados (I skipped the glass and it just fell in my mouth) ... the usual £20 from Dad. Yep, that's it but what the hell ... the sun is shining.

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 ...
