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...

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 ...

Understanding the British

As a nation we are a funny lot. We get through the worries of life with humour. Not always good taste humour and the words 'too soon' are often mentioned! Now, this is not unique to us, many other countries adopt humour to get them through. I am going to show some ideas of humour here, don't shoot me, we're just musing this topic. Moment of silence for the people who agreed to live with shitty roommates because they "wouldn't be spending much time at home anyway" There is going to be a lot of pressure over the next few days to talk to friends and family. Fight it. Stay positive Anyway, you get the picture. Actually, most of those came from the USA. It's terribly British for one person to cough and a whole host of others stare and one person shouts, 'we're all dead now, he's got the virus'. Obviously it's not a joking matter but, without keeping our sense of the ridiculous we would go quite potty. Estimates c...
