Summer? Surely not

Hasn't the weather been just great? (It'll be snowing next week)

Since Matt moved back in he has been really nice to be around, really making an effort. Daisy is sort of making an effort but I am not really convinced.

The collection of the Sebring has been delayed because the garage has some difficulties but should happen this coming Thursday.

Meetings, email and phone calls still happening regarding Jermaine and his move (or not). It has been looking hopeful of late but nothing is ever certain until it happens in this game.

A lovely 24 hours or so in France yesterday. My French held up well on the food but apparently I could not make myself clear enough on the difference between Rosé and Red with wine and that of brown and blonde with the beer and I thought those were things I said rather clearly.

It was ever so good that Robin allowed himself to be told what to do rather than trying to be all independent for the day, that wouldn't have worked at all as it would have been real frustrating to have been watching him struggle all day when there was simply no need. Have to say, the Etap hotels are excellent value for money. They are basic but they have what is needed for an overnight stay.

The Citroen is now up for sale. John and I spend a few hours today getting it clean so hopefully the calls will flood in and we can get it shifted sooner rather than later. My bank account is groaning under the strain so it would be nice to get a deposit in there ready for the next big bill.

Oh my, look at my hands, I look all butch and manly ... that will never do so I sense a bath coming on!

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...

Oh dear

The good news is that it could possibly be Jermaine will be moved into his lovely new flat within 6 weeks. Matt is another story. His apology earlier was rather pathetic. He's still not really said sorry to either Daisy or Deej and, indeed, seems to think saying sorry to anyone is more important than being with his mates. He has a set of rules now, in writing and he's been told that if he deviates from it just once he best have somewhere else to live. We shall see. I don't hold out much hope but there is still a little inside of me, I need to believe there is good in him ... for now. Car - still not sold Looked at Nick's new place the other day. It's small but not so much as I feared it may be and could be made to look real nice with a little effort and thought. I know how I'd do it but it's up to Nick how he does it and I am looking forward to seeing the end result. Loads of work still to do at Robin's of course but at least he is up and running again o...
