Flippin' 'eck 2

It's darned well half term again, do these school never stay open more than a few days?

The car has still not sold, not even a glimmer of interest and I am in a frame of mind whereby I am just enjoying this next month as after that my life is about to become hell as I am going to have to start spending money I don't have, paying mega amounts of interest and generally going through financial hell. I have never before known a car so difficult to sell as this Citroen is being. It's be understandable if there was something wrong with it but there isn't, it's as sweet as can be and will make someone a lovely motor but it seems destined to remain a millstone around my neck and I could end up losing loads if it doesn't go soon.

The shite hit the fan with Matt today. Daisy told Kes about Matt and Zipsy and Kes told Kerry who then got to confirm the details. Kes managed to tell Kerry that it was me that told her ... actually, I suspect that Daisy didn't tell her either, she'd probably overheard something from someone else who's seen Matt and Zipsy together (not difficult as they are seen out quite often) Anyway, Kerry knows and has apparently told Matt it's over (she'll change her mind within the week). Kes is also saying that Kerry planned on seeing some other guy this weekend anyway to make Matt jealous so he'd dump her ... oh what a complicated web doth get weaved.

Matt is now saying he hates Daisy because she has 'ruined my life' which is, of course, total bollocks because Matt is quite capable of doing that all on his own and has done again here. It was only a matter of time before Kerry found out from somewhere and clearly Matt was burying his head in the sand again hoping she'd not find out or that he'd find the right moment to slip the whole sleeping with Zipsy thing into the conversation.

Whilst down town earlier and bashing into Matt and Zipsy (who I like by the way) she was there smoking away seemingly trying to hide the fact. I am wondering now if Matt is smoking again? I am also wondering how much of the money Matt owes me he is again spending. As yet he has given me no reason to believe he's going to keep his end of the bargain and treat the loan I gave him as his priority after his commitments.

Martyn says his mum is not well again and in hospital. He mentioned the possibility of pneumonia and that set me back remembering when my own mum was in hospital for the final time. Hers was a far more serious condition though I didn't know that at the time. She also had septicaemia and it was primarily that which killed her but, my point is, I remembered how useless I felt at the time and so hope Martyn doesn't have to go through that and that his mum will soon be well enough to come home again to them.

Robin's place is coming along. I am think I am probably way too knackered to do anything major for a few days though. I need to devote some time to here as well. With Zoey at home tomorrow we may well just blow our last ten quid and go watch a movie.

Planning to see Jermaine on Saturday. Dad wasn't too happy about him when they visited last weekend so I am checking it out for myself.

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 ...

Understanding the British

As a nation we are a funny lot. We get through the worries of life with humour. Not always good taste humour and the words 'too soon' are often mentioned! Now, this is not unique to us, many other countries adopt humour to get them through. I am going to show some ideas of humour here, don't shoot me, we're just musing this topic. Moment of silence for the people who agreed to live with shitty roommates because they "wouldn't be spending much time at home anyway" There is going to be a lot of pressure over the next few days to talk to friends and family. Fight it. Stay positive Anyway, you get the picture. Actually, most of those came from the USA. It's terribly British for one person to cough and a whole host of others stare and one person shouts, 'we're all dead now, he's got the virus'. Obviously it's not a joking matter but, without keeping our sense of the ridiculous we would go quite potty. Estimates c...
