Why?

Everything was going so well. I did the math and I could afford to buy the new car with even a bad sale price on the old car, it was perfect, a win win situation. I really should know better.

Turns out that to get rid of this message on the screen in my car is going to cost me the better part of £1000 which not only gets rid of any element in my figures for error but also means I am going to have to find at least £500 I don't have (more off the holiday spending money I guess) to get the jobs done. If it then happens to cost more than estimate to get the Sebring running again I am screwed, the money isn't there and all because I was stupid enough to buy yet another crap Citroen!

I despair at times at how my luck goes, when is it my turn to get some good luck?

On the plus side, this time next year the events of this moment and the next few months will all be forgotten as (hopefully) I will have got back out of debt by then and everything will be rosy again ... why do I just know that's bollox

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 ...
