Are the cuts going to hit me everywhere?

I found out today (thanks) that Tesco are adjusting their Clubcard Voucher values. Instead of such things as 4X face value for holidays, they are reducing it to 3 come December! Damn and blast them!

Went to London earlier with Tom, boy that was a lot of walking

We started at Euston, technically we started at home but, let’s not dwell … from Euston to the British Museum, got hungry so went to Oxford St for a BHS dinner. Went from there down Regent St to Piccadilly Circus, down to Trafalgar Sq, into the Mall, Horseguards Parade and walked through St James Park. Do you know, I have never done that before! Went to the Palace, because all first time visitors to London have to and this was Tom’s first time. Walked down Birdcage Walk to the Houses of Parliament, around the Palace of Westminster onto Westminster Bridge so Tom could get a picture of The Palace Tower (Big Ben) and the London Eye. From there we walked to Charring Cross where we got the train back to Euston and home.

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...
