Knackered (again)

My plan for the weekend involved lazing about Saturday and going with the flow Sunday. Well, Ex wife Kris, who was supposed to meet the family in town and provide lunch, went out on the piss Friday night and was too hung over to meet up so I was called in to the rescue. After that I had to do shopping, answer several phone calls, you know, the normal sort of lazing about I do!

The kids all came back Saturday afternoon, I’d manage to grab a bit of sleep as I was totally shattered. We discussed various possibilities for holiday next year but, none of the options was really turning into a definite workable plan that didn’t upset someone. I reached the conclusion I was possibly missing the one possibility I had otherwise ignored, we don’t do a ‘family’ holiday at all but, instead, just me and Deej get away for a break to try and recharge our batteries. I know that will sideline several people and, that upsets me but, sometimes I have to remember that I have a life too and, am getting on a bit so should not keep putting things off for another day!

Plans for next weekend are all sorted. I was hoping a little extra could be sorted but that is looking increasingly unlikely and that’s just a shame.

Today, Virgin Media has screwed up. For a time we lost Phone, TV and Internet, as of writing this, we are still without broadband via Virgin and I am using my O2 connection through my mobile. I am glad I have that option. On the plus side, it is allowing various family members to find other things to do which is no bad thing!

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...

Oh dear

The good news is that it could possibly be Jermaine will be moved into his lovely new flat within 6 weeks. Matt is another story. His apology earlier was rather pathetic. He's still not really said sorry to either Daisy or Deej and, indeed, seems to think saying sorry to anyone is more important than being with his mates. He has a set of rules now, in writing and he's been told that if he deviates from it just once he best have somewhere else to live. We shall see. I don't hold out much hope but there is still a little inside of me, I need to believe there is good in him ... for now. Car - still not sold Looked at Nick's new place the other day. It's small but not so much as I feared it may be and could be made to look real nice with a little effort and thought. I know how I'd do it but it's up to Nick how he does it and I am looking forward to seeing the end result. Loads of work still to do at Robin's of course but at least he is up and running again o...
