Water Everywhere

OK, maybe not everywhere but is sure feels like it with all the new lakes we have around here!

I have been struggling financially lately but Matt just spent quite a bit of his compensation money and is well and truly flaunting it in front of the girls saying how he's going to put on their favourite programmes yet not let them watch the things and they can't play on his new Xbox 360. True brotherly love.

Daisy in particular has been using the J lounge almost nightly and rarely cleans up after herself, Zoey is struggling to load the programmes she wants on her ageing PC. John has been muddling through with his laptop but is clearly upset that he can't play the games he wants to it and has been using my machine more often. All in I decided 'to hell' with the money and have bought the girls new laptops each and John a really rather cheap base unit to replace his laptop which is going to Jermaine.

John mentioned this to Matt this evening on the way home and Matt got really shirty demanding to know where I got the money from? I had a right cheek apparently telling him to repay me the money he owed and then going and spending it on the girls and John when I 'should have' been spending on the holiday spending money.

I have gone from being contented with my day to being really angry and miserable. I am just sick of Matt making me feel this way, I really don't deserve it. This is like living with my dad all over again. Always being questioned on how I choose to live my life, to justify what I do whilst he feels everything he does is right and I don't have any right to complain. It's just getting too bloody much!

Yesterday we went to take a look at the new place Jermaine will be going to, hopefully in June. It's in Occupation Road, Corby in a building known as 'The Coach House'. It really is a lovely flat and is now all fully furnished with everything he could need. My only concern is the amount of time it is taking to process the paperwork and that someone else will get in first.

We keep meaning to visit Nick but just have not got around to it ... maybe sometime this weekend we can as we don't have anything arranged.

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....
