Achievment

Finally today the IT team who didn't do their job right admitted they had made a mistake and the company website is up and running again.

My Mazda should be back tomorrow - Yay!

Erm, the plan we had to be Robin's official Carer failed. It turned out that by making it official it actually cost over £35 which is crazy. According to this government, all a person needs to be a full time Carer (35 hours a week) is 48p an hour! That is all which gets added to the benefits we receive already. Of course, the going rate for being a full time Carer not on benefits works out at only £1.44 an hour, so much for minimum wage!

It makes me really angry how badly Carers are treated in this country!

I made a cock up on wedding invites by forgetting it was more complex than just sending out invites at random. We re restricted to just 40 at the ceremony so I do have to be brutal with the invites. Because our Civil Partnership is just before the wedding of James and Daisy we have decided that the guests at our event also have to be suitable for theirs. That both increased the guest list and decreases it in other areas. So, we have thought the plan shall be, invite our 40 (or so) and then those we could not find room for can join us back at the house afterwards.

What this does not take count of is those who seem to have invited themselves thinking it is OK just to show up anyway. That is why the best men will be instructed who is and is not on the guest list for the Guildhall. Anyone not on it will just have to wait outside, sorry and all that but I want to be able to breath in there!

Saw the first picture of my grandchild earlier, I had a little tear.

I had planned to go visit some people this week, sorry, that didn't happen. Tomorrow also is full of activities, rather annoying as it happens.

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 ...

2 Weeks in

Amazing as it seems I am two weeks through my visit here. Some might be getting a little confused about why I am here. There is only one important reason and that is to be with Dennis. This isn’t a vacation to me, it’s just about having to travel to the Philippines because it is where Dennis happens to be. I’m still in very regular contact with home dealing with daily issues, the council, social services and so on. I am geographically away from it but technically still connected. Obviously it’s cool to wander into Manila and see the place, travel in a Jeepney and so on. Wandering around the malls is fun but it is who I am with rather than where I am that matters most to me. Highlights for me, apart from every second I spend with Dennis have to be meeting family and friends.         Veronica and her family and Imee of course who has kept me entertained for hours with conversation about anything and everything     Ireneo too tries real hard wit...

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 ...
