Phew!

I love it when a plan comes together, when hard work pays off and I can rest easy knowing there really isn't any better I could have done.

  1. The software company have agreed to supply all missing software and pay the full cost of postage
  2. We finally got our new car friday afternoon and a special gift from Citroen by way of an apology
  3. Our Civil Partnership was a massive success ... by which I mean, it went at least as well as we could ever have hoped it would.
The statitsics of yesterday are as follows:

  • 41 people were with us at some point during the day to join in the celebrations
  • 12 were sadly unable to attend or declined our invitation
  • 16 either never replied to our invitation or just failed to turn up after agreeing to attend
Nothing got broken!

All three speeches went really well


For what seems to me the first time since 1986, the sun was shining, I am thankful. There were no arguments, loads of people laughed and got otherwise merry.

We received some lovely gifts ... only one person, through no fault of their own, got us something we shall have to return but, no harm done and they were along the right lines.

The only downer for us was just how early most people left, we would have liked the fun to have gone on longer.

Now, onwards ... have not yet done the holiday packing ... oh hell, I hate this bit! Check everything twice and, quite possibly another couple more times just to be sure ... to be sure.

This is the last blog entry for a couple of weeks at least.

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 ...
