Blimey this year is flying!

April is nearly over already! At this speed by the time we land in Gran Canaria we just as well head on straight back home again!

Had an interview today, more of an informal chat I guess. It was with the Carers Centre in Whitworth Road. I am going to start working there after our holiday as a volunteer but who knows where it may lead. On the plus side, it will look brilliant on my CV and my first step to 'proper' work which I am really looking forward to, I want to be anonymous again.

I have been quite upset about the new of the young guy in Redditch Seems he has a very similar condition to Jermaine and I just can't imagine anything like that happening. After all that struggling, and his mother too, to have it ended so pointlessly.

Tomorrow I get my hair done ready for the holiday and today I bought some new clothes for it. Deej had his hair done yesterday. (Looks amazing by the way)

Having left Kagoul I am a lot more chilled. Clicking on the 'Kagoul' link will take you to the obituary about me on there which anyone can read. If I ever needed proof that I had made the right decision, that is it. I also deleted my account on Thingbox as that is near enough specifically designed for guys who have been thrown off just about every other site. All that leaves now is Outeverywhere which has a good balance of members. It's a pay site but worth the money if I have to belong to anything, also got me out of bother a few times when I have had tech questions I needed answering quickly.

Duston School is closed tomorrow. They are on strike. Today Daisy had two cover teachers. This from a school who says 'every hour of education is vital to your child's education!'

Robin is feeling a little down at the moment, I am sure there are other things he'd rather be feeling but he's stuck with feeling down. Hope he bangs his head on a door soon ;-)

Next week is quite busy but we have managed to squeeze in a mad jaunt to London on Wednesday. Marty and Cindy will be there and I am getting a bit fed up with keep missing them so, hopefully, Wednesday is the day when we finally get around to it.

This Friday we get Wii Fit so expect me to be hurting like hell over the weekend!

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...

Oh dear

The good news is that it could possibly be Jermaine will be moved into his lovely new flat within 6 weeks. Matt is another story. His apology earlier was rather pathetic. He's still not really said sorry to either Daisy or Deej and, indeed, seems to think saying sorry to anyone is more important than being with his mates. He has a set of rules now, in writing and he's been told that if he deviates from it just once he best have somewhere else to live. We shall see. I don't hold out much hope but there is still a little inside of me, I need to believe there is good in him ... for now. Car - still not sold Looked at Nick's new place the other day. It's small but not so much as I feared it may be and could be made to look real nice with a little effort and thought. I know how I'd do it but it's up to Nick how he does it and I am looking forward to seeing the end result. Loads of work still to do at Robin's of course but at least he is up and running again o...

Totally Bonkers

That's me ... but in a good way Yesterday evening Daisy got a plea from help from a 16 year old friend. She couldn't deal with it. Basically and without too many details ... he has had a troubled home life and his health has also not been too good. Indeed, he only came out of hospital after surgery for a ruptured appendix on Wednesday. Last evening (Thurs) his mother thought it'd be a good idea to kick him out and he really didn't have anywhere to go. I spoke with him for some time and it certainly appeared his need was quite high. So, I decided to do the right thing and he's now asleep in bed upstairs. I am totally bonkers because he wasn't living in Northampton but in Folkestone! He moved there with his family a month or so ago from Northampton. He's obviously in a lot of pain emotionally and physically. Of course, after having just driven around 300 miles, I am knackered. I reckon I did the right thing ... his mother is aware he is in Northampton, she see...
