Oh my ... what a birthday with a twist in the tail

I have had a wonderful birthday so far today.

John has been a star and tried really hard to make things good for me. He got me one of the things off my wish list which I do keep telling myself I am going to stop playing with but it's just so cool I have to keep having a go. It's one of those robo-raptor things and it's just such fun. Zoey gave me some things she took from a book of hers which was really sweet of her. Daisy got me a Discworld novel ... Matt and Zoé got me a t-shirt each with Matt additionally getting me a Spidey potato head. There has been other stuff of course but that's the basics.

Robin did me proud with a fantastic meal and wonderfully unhealthy cake. There was a small panic over his car but that was sorted quick enough not to cause a problem.

I have been txt'd by 3 people to say happy birthday and got some cards too.

Everyone else in the house is doing their own thing now so I thought sitting down at the PC would be a cool thing to do. I suddenly got a yellow announcement message pop up and when I checked it was an Ebay notification ... the car has reached the £3400 reserve ... effectively it is now sold and fingers crossed nothing happens to go against that, this now means we can relax and enjoy the new car ... the only thing in question now is just how much it will go up to. I am going to be so angry if this bidder pulls out but he seems OK, has a good rating and 93% positive feedback. The only negative was when he/she apparently didn't turn up ... I so hope that isn't for a car!

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 ...

Cognitive Behaviour Therapy

I am currently working through modules on Self Esteem. I can honestly say, it’s tough reading! So much does relate to me it hurts to read it. Already I am wishing for answers that I need. It’s like, I know and understand what I am reading and acknowledge it as a fair representation of my current state but, where is the hug? The reassurance that it’s all going to be OK? The issue, for me, of doing this sort of thing is that it highlights possibly the greatest issue I have, I am alone. Someone special to hug up to, to talk to when I need it, well, I don’t have anyone. Perhaps that is a good thing because, right now, I’d probably question all their motives, what is their ‘real’ agenda? Even knowing where those feelings come from, where they started and so on is not yet helping me to overcome them. I’ve become somewhat insecure and full of self doubt, all negative stuff. Frustratingly, I can damn well see it too, it’s like there are two of me, am sure someone would say that’s because I a...
