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.

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...
