    Lots of money in this country. Just needs redistributing. 
    House of Lords would cover a lot. 
    Big bosses expenses alone would cover a lot.

    Morrison's have finally replied to my email and agreed to cancel the parking fine. \o/  They've taken ages to reply and I've been sat on my hands trying not to follow up the first email to find out what's taking so long. :# 
    In a similar vein, the in-laws took us out for lunch yesterday as a belated birthday meal for my wife. Lovely meal but it was really hard to park in the car park due to the amount of massive Range Rovers and other SUV type vehicles. There were so many and they filled up the spaces so much that we couldn't park alongside any of them and still be able to get the kids out of their seats. It's a very selfish choice of car to have these days.

    It's the moon coming full again. The toddler had me up at 5am and I predict a worse night tonight.

  • I'm curmudgeonly 'cos I can't breathe properly .... very curmudgeonly indeed ...

    I've just had to pay £260 to tax my wee van. I only did 1,500 miles in the last year. grrr

    Why is it dark? It's not even lunchtime yet. :|

    Another Xmas irony. It was tradition to bring evergreen plants indoors to brighten up this dark time of year and celebrate living things but now apparently my house plants are in the way of the fake Xmas tree :|  There's limited space that's safe away from little hands this year so real estate is hotly contested.

    Same mileage here, I’m thinking of getting an eco diesel car, £20.00 per year tax. 76 mpg.  Mine goes out once a month.
