Money doth dribble away

Yes, my money is escaping from every direction but, I hope, will recover OK and the things it is going on are generally worthwhile.

Tesco (bless them) have almost totally paid for a week in Gran Canaria for Pride next May, now that has to be a good deal. They will also pay for train tickets over to France in October and for ferry tickets for a trip Deej and I are taking to Disneyland in November. My timing of that one could have been better but I did not realise that the 'Tower of Terror' was opening as early as January!

Daisy is no longer with Sam but now with James. Fortunately I am already used to James coming around so don't have to get used to anyone new.

The car is still doing reasonably well with a first service being carried out next week after the engine rebuild.

There are staffing issues at the coach house so I am having t keep on top of things there and make sure it does not end up collapsing. Email to be written there.

I so need my eyes tested but am nervous about the cost of it all as I just know I need new glasses which generally come in at around £200+

Matt is being less than perfect going back on just about everything we agreed in order for him to stay here a little longer. He's making virtually no effort to get a full time job and, most worryingly, insisting he is in control of everything ... yeah, like anyone who knows him would believe that.

I bought a gadget to connect the PC's to the lounge TV, just hoping it will actually do what it says on the box.

I gotta go now, wanted to write more but out of time.

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...
