Christmas Spirit

Finally it seems to be sinking in to me, I am 'feeling' Christmas!

Last night my sleep was crazy. I went to bed a little earlier than I normally do as I was so terribly tired. I don't remember getting into bed and lost a whole 15 minutes before I was unable to sleep for another 2 hours!

The Disney Store have wound me up a bit. I ordered some gifts last week. They gave me a two hour delivery slot and didn't turn up. The next day I got an email in the evening to tell me they'd posted my order through the door whilst I was actually in the hallway. Of course, they didn't because it could never fit and so started contacting Disney. Turns out, and I don't believe a word of it, my package never left the depot but they ensure me it'll be here within 48 hours!

This evening I also forgot that there is a gift missing for one person because I totally forgot to order it so ... will have to go remedy that one very soon.

Been to see two nativity type things and loved them both. I was supposed to sing but I just wanted to enjoy watching and listening. Contrary to the two this year, I don't normally get to go to these things.

Would like to plan a trip to Europe next year but because we're leaving the EU next month I now have no idea whether or not Dennis can get a visa for Europe!

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...

You Bloody Idiot

I had a really enjoyable time in Meltham with Stan and Pete, even that walk against the wind up the pub on Saturday evening in a blizzard was fun. On the way there I thought it’d be fun to take some pictures of the car in the snow. I had not realised just how windy it was, I seriously thought my door was stuck when I tried to open it but it was just being pressurised by the forces outside. I am lucky really the wind had not been behind me else the door would have been ripped off. On the way back on Sunday I paid a visit to Sue in Sheffield. I like Sue and she is a great conversationalist. The journey was not without incident as the satnav kept failing and crashing and just became useless. I eventually tracked the problem down to the loudspeaker connection for the mount and once I’d removed that it was stable and guided me well to Sue’s door. I am really happy to report that the steroid injection I had last week as helped ease my pain. I still have the pain but it is not restricting me ...
