Whoever Said?

No man is an island ... has not seen my laying down in the bath!

An Englishman's home is his castle ... if that is true, why can I not fire arrows at chavs through the windows?

Being a parent is the most rewarding job in the world ... whoever said that had a nanny!

What goes around comes around ... someone who lived in Milton Keynes clearly. (too much time hanging around roundabouts)

On another note, I clearly think too much when I take a dump!

Yesterday we didn't get a visit from Jermaine. They called to say that he'd been playing up all day and that, if I didn't mind, they would really appreciate not having a deadline to try to sort him out. So, not seen him in over a week now so must make an effort this week so not to leave it too late this time.

Later on today the girls are going off to their mother for the first time in years. I fully expect her to make some excuse whereby they cannot go at all or the visit has to be cut short.

This is a weird week in that we don't really have to go out much, those things that are happening require little effort on our part. The exceptions to that would be getting the girls to their mother today and collecting them on Friday and doing a visit to Jermaine at some point. This evening we plan on visiting Nick.

I shall be sending the vouchers off later to get the Tesco tokens to spend on GC next year. It'll be costing me £250 in vouchers which contributes £1000 toward the holiday, I still have to pay £36 on top of that because the total is £1036 (obviously). I will pay cash for the car rental which will ensure we don't have to travel with a coach load of chavs.

You Bloody Idiot

I had a really enjoyable time in Meltham with Stan and Pete, even that walk against the wind up the pub on Saturday evening in a blizzard was fun. On the way there I thought it’d be fun to take some pictures of the car in the snow. I had not realised just how windy it was, I seriously thought my door was stuck when I tried to open it but it was just being pressurised by the forces outside. I am lucky really the wind had not been behind me else the door would have been ripped off. On the way back on Sunday I paid a visit to Sue in Sheffield. I like Sue and she is a great conversationalist. The journey was not without incident as the satnav kept failing and crashing and just became useless. I eventually tracked the problem down to the loudspeaker connection for the mount and once I’d removed that it was stable and guided me well to Sue’s door. I am really happy to report that the steroid injection I had last week as helped ease my pain. I still have the pain but it is not restricting me ...

2 Weeks in

Amazing as it seems I am two weeks through my visit here. Some might be getting a little confused about why I am here. There is only one important reason and that is to be with Dennis. This isn’t a vacation to me, it’s just about having to travel to the Philippines because it is where Dennis happens to be. I’m still in very regular contact with home dealing with daily issues, the council, social services and so on. I am geographically away from it but technically still connected. Obviously it’s cool to wander into Manila and see the place, travel in a Jeepney and so on. Wandering around the malls is fun but it is who I am with rather than where I am that matters most to me. Highlights for me, apart from every second I spend with Dennis have to be meeting family and friends.         Veronica and her family and Imee of course who has kept me entertained for hours with conversation about anything and everything     Ireneo too tries real hard wit...

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 ...
