Grrr

I did have a lovely day in Southend today. It was great to be out with the family and see Josh’s face trying new things. It was marred by some texts from someone having a go at me for something, actually, that really hurt more than I think they have any comprehension.

Later, I also found out that someone had lied to me big time, the sort of lie which changes the entire meaning of everything I thought was true and worth working for. I am not going into details here, not the right place and no one else’s business but, I know and that person will know, that’s good enough for me.

I have managed to find someone keen enough to take over as Zoey’s personal assistant, very pleased to have found someone so quickly and I so hope they will rise to the challenge and make a real go of it. I think it will be good for him and for Zoey.

Now I have to plan the my brain around Javis not being part of our lives, I am not sure how long it is going to take to get used to that concept? Javis has been part of my life now for 2 years, his not being around is going to seem very weird indeed. I may never know his reasons for leaving but, I am told, it was always going to happen. One of those situations where everyone else can see it coming except stupid blinkered old me. I have to stop getting so attached to people.

Looking forward to Disney in November, we’ve been saving really hard for it, all of us and I am sure it’ll be amazing. May also be going along with Robin over to France in October, looking forward to finding out what he wants to do.

Am also really looking forward to Gran Canaria next year. If I can save enough Tesco vouchers they will be for the entire cost of the holiday leaving us lot just to find the spending money.

Some events to look forward to this month and next, should be good … if I can just cheer myself up!

On another downer, I finished the amazing bottle of Jack Daniels which Robin bought me for my birthday last night  :-(

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...
