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.

My battery is about to die so will need to end here, apologies for typos and spelling mistakes

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 ...
