Things are moving ...

Sadly, not at a pace to get the heart pounding but they are moving.

The car has had 7 bids on it dragging it up to a staggering £746! Yes, that's right, less than 25% of the true value ... I just have to admire the optimism of those who have thus far put in an offer.

Earlier I had a guy with a very strong Brummie accent call me saying how keen he was in buying the car and he meant it to, clearly he'd done his homework. Of course, that's not going to go smoothly as he needs to sell his current car first, a Jag 's' type. He said he'd call tomorrow but I am not holding my breath on that one.

Several and I mean, too bloody several companies have called me to sell their services on the pretext of being supplies of buyers ... total bollocks and they get the reply I am in the mood for at the time of calling ... one had the nerve to call back and ask if we got cut off, silly cow.

Matt has come home pissed. He didn't get up for work this morning either so it's good to see that nothing is changing there then, really proving how responsible he is now being. How much of my money this is costing I can but speculate of course but from where I am it looks like there is less money coming in that anticipated because of the lost hours. The mobile phone is clearly still being used despite him being totally out of credit as happened when he called me yesterday. I don't know if he's actually taking money from his account but suspect so. In short this is Matt again burying his head in the sand and assuming this is all going to sort itself out, oh brother.

Daisy is at Kes's house tonight, not one of my better decisions that one as her family are nutters and smoke like troopers. At best she'll be back tomorrow stinking, at worst, the fag smoke won't be from those she was staying with.

My PC is throwing some wobblers at the moment so some serious defragging going on along with some proggies being reloaded and I hope that solves the problem.

I am somehow feeling more optimistic about things yet have no facts to base that upon ... maybe something is in the wind ... should not have had those beans earlier.

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...
