New carpet
If all goes well, the new carpet for the living room will be arriving and being laid, but of course, that is dependent on the furniture being out of the way. Most of it is easy enough, except...and regular readers will be able to pre-empt me here...except for NASA, with its ton of cables nestling underneath like a mini mount Snowden.
"Would you like to start clearing the shelf?" I enquired, very reasonably, I thought.
"Not likely! You must be joking! What??? No way, Jose!!!" was the gist of the reply.
"The problem is," I continued, still being reasonable, logical even, "the carpet can't be laid unless that corner of the room is cleared."
"I can do it tomorrow," he said plaintively.
Watch this space...

Weekend shopping
Jobs done this weekend:
Bought a new shed for the garden
Bought new carpet for the living room and laminate for the dining room
Broke up old fence panels
Cut up sawn off branches from trees at bottom of garden
Mowed the lawn
Bought bedding plants for the pots on the patio and planted them.
Keith is worried about the new carpet. He is afraid of what I will do to him if he gets it dirty as he has done with the old one.
He is right to be afraid....!
However, the new shed is big enough to take NASA and him if necessary. Well, it's the new thing, isn't it - working from your garden shed? :)

Brown looking after our pensions
So Gordon Brown was warned 10 years ago of the effect of his actions on pensions. It seems that Treasury papers, which until now have been kept confidential, have shown he was warned that scrapping dividend tax in July 1997 could wipe £75bn from pension fund values but he went ahead and did it anyway. What an unbelievable, inhuman disregard for the misery that would face millions of Britains.
Oh, but here comes Ed Balls to the rescue, assuring us all that Mr Brown had 'scrapped the credits on the "best advice" of civil servants. ' Oh, so that's all right then. Good old Gordon - not his fault after all.
Just when you think our 'leaders' can sink no lower, they prove us wrong. And this is the man, whom Beckett says is 'head and shoulders above any other candidate' for prime minister and leader of the labour party. Says it all really.

Tagged
It seems like ages since I was last tagged but Gemmak has tagged me to reveal 5 things about myself that I have not previously mentioned on my blog, so here goes:
1. Like Gemmak, I am left-handed, and yes, Gemmak, all the best people are!
2. I have a button phobia. Can't bear them, they make me feel sick.
3. I did children's nursing for six months after I left school and then decided to go for teaching instead.
4. My one claim to fame is that I taught Heidi Range of Sugarbabes fame when she was six years old.
5. I am descended from a baronet, whose daughter ran away with someone considered unsuitable and so was disowned.
Let's hope none of the above is seen as grounds for blackmail by anyone!
I am now going to pass the baton on to:
Arthur, Yorkshire Pudding, Shooting Parrots, Michelle and Sue.

Thanks, Craig
Just a little thank you to Craigybaby for taking the time and trouble to text everyone on our course to remind them that the hour went forward this morning and to take due note so as not to be late this morning. Above and beyond the call of duty, I reckon. Craig, you get a gold star for that. ;)
