Another Last Day

Before heading off on holiday!

Tomorrow we head south to Ashford and thence, onwards to France on Sunday and Disneyland!

Our plans have changed, this is not entirely the holiday we planned. It’ll be good anyway. It is nice to have someone at home looking after the place for us.

Am going to miss, Anne, Matt and Immy but, it’s only a week so back soon enough.

This week has been eventful and, then again, not so. Promises were made, as yet, no sign anything is changing. That’s annoying because, as with Martin Luther … ‘I have a dream’. Sadly, as with his dream, it may take decades to come true, if it ever does! My general rule is, our kids come first unless we can sneak some time for ourselves in their somewhere. If we see our friends more often than we see our kids, we have it, totally, 100% wrong buster!

I was once offered a millionaire lifestyle. All I had to do was move away from my kids and just see them now and then. He was a lovely guy too, something could have worked but, you know what, it took me fractions of a second to refuse the offer. No amount of money or other incentive on this planet could have turned me into ‘McDonalds Dad’, that sad specimen that see’s his kids once a months, buys them McDonalds, hands over some money and then walks out their life again for a month … that is totally not me. Boys play with their toys, men play with their children.

Oh boy, the weather! I so hope we get out the country and all the way to Disney this weekend! All the planning just has to mean something. Was -5°C earlier!

Now 01:45, less than 11 hours and we’ll be on the road! Good job I don’t need sleep! Oh, and, Harry Potter too!

Write again in a week or so but, for now, signing off!

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 ...
