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...

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 ...
