Nearly September

Yes, just two days to go and we are on month 9. I remember cancelling an order for a car once because they said I had to wait 5 months and here I am 5 months after buying the Sebring and still have no real idea when it may be ready!

A taxi from town to here should never cost £8.40 early evening - end of.

Zoey has taken to blocking the loo again so today I taught her how to unblock it with her having to place her own hand in a toilet full of shit. Maybe now she will reconsider just how much toilet paper to use. (probably not)

I have taken a diet holiday for a few days because I have just been feeling really down and ill. I figure that cutting down on food without also exercising more is just pointless anyway.

One more full week of school holidays to go here, that's a week longer than most school kids get. On the plus side, most kids should be away from town next week so going there will be a little more bearable.

At the moment I am double booked for grandparents visits. Kris's parents are supposed to come here on September 9th as are my Dad and Kath. My opinion is, Kay & Geoff invited themselves, they have not so much as spoken to me about it to see it is OK so when they eventually call I shall say sorry, but we are busy that day. It's been over a year since seeing my Dad so I am not putting them off.

I am mentally spending quite an amount of money right now. Physically I am not so this has to be good! So far I have in my mind bought a new car (2nd hand runabout), booked two holidays, redecorated the entire house along with flooring, landscaped the garden along with several other things too numerous to list! A lottery win right now could prove most useful as I actually do at least have some focus right now on where it would start to be put to good use. (About as likely as Zoey being sensible with toilet paper)

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...

The soundtrack of my life

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...
