“It’s all about the economy stupid!”

Well, that’s what it feels like having spent several hours today going over the household budget and the Social Services budget. One is looking good, the other, not so 
With all the changes in employees over the past year, different ways of doing things etc, I seem to have made a cock-up. Effectively, I have enough money for wages but nothing else. Actually, I may not have enough for wages either and that means, any shortfall comes from my own pocket. With the tax contribution I have to pay and the payroll fees, that could be a few hundred quid!
All my video’s are now completed, I am totally up to date. This means, I have nothing stopping me now concentrating my efforts onto the new website for the Carers … except lack of time of course!
Did a scary thing yesterday, I updated the ROM on my phone. That sounds simple enough, and, indeed, it is, just press a button which says all sorts of things like “if this screws up your phone is dead” or, “getting this wrong will mean your very expensive phone is worthless” … so, true, all it takes is a few clicks of a mouse, it also takes a fair degree of nerve as well. So far, the issues I was having do seem to have gone.

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...
