Update

The car did not sell. The highest bidder was around £3500 but that's not enough. One other guy who had been watching sent an email and he's looking at a figure of around £3400. I am just not selling it that low, it's the price for the car in terrible condition and I know I'd be selling myself short and resent it. When everyone who gets into the car loves it there has to be something good about it.

There is something else in the pipeline, I am not sure if it will come off or not but it would be really cool if it did.

What I have decided to do for now is to just not think about selling it again for at least another week, try and enjoy driving again and fill up the tank!

Someone made me really happy earlier just by thinking about me, someone who is thinking about me just because he wanted to and it makes life worthwhile when that happens.

I know others care too, Robin, Nick David, etc but occasionally a message of 'I thought of you today' from just about anyone is just so welcome. We don't do enough of that I think, we just don't call or write for no reason at all, with no ulterior motive and say hi, I thought of you today.

It's going to take a fair bit to get me looking forward to anything though, this time of year is not good for me what with my birthday coming up on June 4th and I always hate my birthday just because I have had so many shit ones. Being broke right now is not helping of course.

I just keep telling myself, it will all work out OK and this time next year I shall be driving around with the roof down on my car and all this will be forgotten.

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...

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...
