I am not always screaming!

It just seems like it.

Allergies, I hate my allergic rhinitis as it makes many things unpleasant or, more accurately, less pleasant than they should be. Just thought I'd share that and especially to that woman in Tesco who felt like a one woman advertisement for Avon smellies in Tesco the other day.

Matt has seemed moderately more sensible these past few days. It is most unlike him so I am waiting for it all to return to normal (I hope it doesn't)

is latest girlfriend, Ann, seems really nice and one of the first if not 'the' first one he has brought around to spend some time with us and not just locked the door behind them as they go direct from the street door to the bedroom. Kinda, well done there and also for turning a shite situation at work into something that can be worked with ... now just don't screw that up.

Daisy is troubled but not opened up to me about it yet. She is clearly depressed about something.

The move for Jermaine went really well yesterday, couldn't have been better.



It's a lovely place, like an upmarket holiday home.

John and I have been together a year today. I really cannot imagine not being with him, it would seem very odd indeed and there are so many different directions this relationship can go. I am looking forward to the future. I know he can be weird, it's really just his nerves and insecurities, he'll get over it in time.

My car is still estimated to be ready one day next week ... talk about cut it fine.

The holiday is just going to come to us kicking and screaming all the way. After 7 months or trying to get it confirmed what is happening to the car rental it now seems as though it is sorted but the wrong car. I paid for an automatic yet they don't actually do any even though they confirmed the money for one and still advertise doing one on their website. Respect Holidays are trying to sort it out but I feel now that I am going to end up paying a lot more for a car which is no better than one I could have booked back in January for £100 less. To make matters worse, they charged me £308 for it and are now selling this vehicle that doesn't exist for £294!

I finally managed to get Zoey's dentist transferred to Northampton so no more stupid trips to Wellingborough just for 10 minutes.

The care home Jermaine used to go to lost a lot of his stuff but they don't seem to give a shit about it and I am not amused.

Gotta get up early tomorrow for a plumber who may not turn up until lunch time so not very happy about that.

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...
