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...

The soundtrack of my life

Hmm, life has this way of bringing about changes

Past couple of weeks we have had Adam take over as Zoey’s PA and an excellent job he is making of it, better already than anyone else before him but then, I knew he would be and he was, after all, my first choice when I was first able to get a PA for her, he just wasn’t available! Nearly a week ago now our Danny turned up rather early! He’s doing fine though and a healthy 8lbs 7oz. I am not sure just which way round it is but suspect that each time I look at Sean I see Danny! Daisy is boob feeding and managing really well though, somehow I can’t help but wonder how the hell she’s managing to stay awake? I am a very lucky guy to now have 4 wonderful grandchildren and so need a picture of them all together, one day, when they are all that much older, I’d love to do a trip with  them all to Disney, it’ll be totally magical to see their faces light up! Perhaps I need to buy more lottery tickets? Maybe I should stop buying lottery tickets? Adam has been add...
