How very dare they!

... Complain that I have not made a blog entry recently!

Seriously though, not a lot has been happening of late to make an entry.

The DLA people are still querying the decision of the tribunal which is obviously delaying things. I need to call them again tomorrow to see what is going on.

This week we have seen delivery of a new TV which we will keep here but Jermaine will have our old TV which is a better set but suits his needs more than we need it. Along with that he'll have a nifty multimedia hard drive to stream all his movies, songs and pictures to the TV. One last thing is that he has a laptop now as well (again) so we have effectively reinstated the system he used to have only with more of an upgrade. We will deliver all that to him on Monday when I have a van booked for.

I bought something on ebay recently and it has not arrived over a week later yet the seller was happy to take my money the same day. They have not replied to any of my messages either. Thankfully it is just £10 worth else I'd be really worried. It is just annoying that there are arsehole sellers out there.

We finally got some stuff here to repair the back windscreen on the car but it's dead scary. The warnings on it most definitely make me think all future babies I could have would have at least 2 heads and possibly called Serge or something like that.

I checked out the price of a new roof for the car as I don't like the colour of the one it has and it came back at somewhere around £800 so I don't think I'd be doing that any time soon and there is no way it'd add that much to the value either so there is no way to justify it.

So far we still have no social engagements this year except for the holiday in May. This is so not on!

Oh, in case I forget ... Robin, can you make yourself available around 09:30 on Monday? No great problem if you can't.

There see, now you know why I have not written a blog, sod all happening!

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 ...

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...

There are some funny people in this world!

Earlier on this year someone added me on Facebook. Quite soon she was adding many people I knew. We were starting to wonder who this was as there was so little on her profile. To be on the safe side and, suspecting it may be someone pretending to be someone else, I was careful what I wrote to them. Eventually, it did become very obvious it was someone faking a profile. I challenged them to stay if they wanted but, today they deleted the profile. I have never done anything to upset this person, I just exist. She added me and my family just to take the piss out of us and to try and get extra ammunition to use against my friends, it is all rather sad. Speaking of sad … Look, I fully understand that James has issues, what they are, I don’t have a clue but he has them and it is for Daisy and him to sort out. I think Daisy would have liked to sort it out between them but, it seems, they are going to have to take the legal route. I totally get all that. I don’t like it but – such is life....
