To an end with a thump and a slide

Checked in bags at Disney Monday morning, all good. No long wait, seats booked and spent a lovely day in the Magic Kingdom. Got back to the car and found out that Freddie, our cat, had been killed by a car. Deej got really upset right off, didn't get me until Matt posted a message about him and dripping taps on MySpace. It brought Freddie real again for me and I blubbered a little.

He was an amazing cat, very well mannered and loving and he and Tilly had started to get on really well to the point of playing together. So, now we are back to just our Tilly again and I think we shall leave it that way.

We got to the airport by about 4pm and thought we'd done real well on timing ... due to go to gate 85 at 6pm. Thing was, nothing showed on any screens. Flights before and after but not ours. I used my laptop and went online to see if there was any news ... our flight had been delayed by 24 hours!

We went to the Virgin desk, they put us up in the Hyatt Orlando at the airport and have given us vouchers for food. We don't have any clothes beyond those we are wearing. We are so not happy with what we have got from Virgin.

For the record, yes, we have been missing everyone back home, including Matt, Anne & Jermaine, we have just been speaking more to Daisy, Sean & Zoey so they got mentioned more. It was really nice to see Matt & Anne on cam the other day and, of course, our Freddie too. Nice to see him messing about as our last image of him.

We are due home tomorrow at about 10am (Weds)

I want to sort something out with James as well. He seems to be totally confused on who is doing what to who. I know that no one at our place has it in for him or plans in any way to stop him seeing the baby. All anyone has said is that he needs to show some commitment apart from just wanting to 'win the right' by stamping his feet.

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 ...

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...

There are some funny people in this world!

Earlier on this year someone added me on Facebook. Quite soon she was adding many people I knew. We were starting to wonder who this was as there was so little on her profile. To be on the safe side and, suspecting it may be someone pretending to be someone else, I was careful what I wrote to them. Eventually, it did become very obvious it was someone faking a profile. I challenged them to stay if they wanted but, today they deleted the profile. I have never done anything to upset this person, I just exist. She added me and my family just to take the piss out of us and to try and get extra ammunition to use against my friends, it is all rather sad. Speaking of sad … Look, I fully understand that James has issues, what they are, I don’t have a clue but he has them and it is for Daisy and him to sort out. I think Daisy would have liked to sort it out between them but, it seems, they are going to have to take the legal route. I totally get all that. I don’t like it but – such is life....
