So far in 2012 …

Family

Still trying to move things on with getting Jermaine moved back to Northampton but simply don’t trust the people behind it so it’s probably never going to happen. Our feeling is that this is cost driven and all they can think about is how much they can save money so this ‘has’ to happen and they’ll configure any package to be in Jermaine’s best interest whether it is or not!

Done a visit down to Kent already which was an epic event visiting several people in the one weekend staying all over the place in Kent and Essex.

Kids and Grandchildren all doing OK

Tech Stuff

Did a PC rebuild as it was just plain horrible. Pleased to say that after replacing some memory modules and totally reloading the OS, everything seems to be working OK.

Health

Been having Reiki sessions which are lovely, not been having massage which is a bummer as I really need it.

My eye cyst is getting worse to the point where my vision is seriously affected, am not even sure I should be driving to be honest. Hopefully I will get an appointment at the hospital to sort that out soon. Already made an appointment to get my hearing sorted, these hearing aids are horrible, am sick of not hearing people, it’s knocking my confidence so has to be sorted. On new medication for allergies which makes me feel tired and even more dizzy (yes, that’s apparently possible!) Ha a flu jab too so hardly a shock that right now I feel like crap!

Photography

I already did a blog about this. Loving it and can’t get enough. Not only do I enjoy the taking of pictures but also finishing them off in the edit phase or, ‘touching my subjects up’ as one sitter described it!

Plans

Still in the planning stage of two New York visits but do have the Spain trip all sorted now so that’s exciting

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...

Totally Bonkers

That's me ... but in a good way Yesterday evening Daisy got a plea from help from a 16 year old friend. She couldn't deal with it. Basically and without too many details ... he has had a troubled home life and his health has also not been too good. Indeed, he only came out of hospital after surgery for a ruptured appendix on Wednesday. Last evening (Thurs) his mother thought it'd be a good idea to kick him out and he really didn't have anywhere to go. I spoke with him for some time and it certainly appeared his need was quite high. So, I decided to do the right thing and he's now asleep in bed upstairs. I am totally bonkers because he wasn't living in Northampton but in Folkestone! He moved there with his family a month or so ago from Northampton. He's obviously in a lot of pain emotionally and physically. Of course, after having just driven around 300 miles, I am knackered. I reckon I did the right thing ... his mother is aware he is in Northampton, she see...
