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...

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...
