Knackered

I have not felt so tired as I do this week in ever such a long time. This morning I so didn't want to go into Birmingham for work. I was dozing off on the coach and actually did drop off for a while on the way back.

Still no takers for the Megane, I think I need to reconcile myself to getting the trade in price and feeling lucky to have it seeing as it has to be better than sod all! It means things will be a little tight for a few months but I can live with that.

This week has been real busy sorting things out for James. I don't begrudge a moment of it as he's actually a really great kid who really needs some looking after but with work as well it has proven a little much.

In light of that and with it being half term next week, I've decided not to go into work.

Tomorrow is mega busy ... gotta get Zoey to orthodontist then over to see Sally Keeble MP abou Jermaine then getting Zoey to her mums then Daisy & James to Matt's during which time Martyn will be here and then we are going out somewhere in the evening for a meal ... then, on Saturday I am having to collect Zoey from the Eastern District at 09:30 to get her to ICE for 10:00, back home ... no doubt collecting peeps around 4 ... who knows, someone may want to look at the car ... I'll be in panic mode in case some emergency crops up ... have to confess, I really want this to work with and for James. Anything going wrong prior to approval from social services could screw it all up so fingers crossed.

At least Social Services have approved James coming to Disney with us so I can get that booked up soon, well, as soon as I get the new car as I need the reg number.

Nearly midnight, head throbbing ... guess where I am going!

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...
