Im bloodly well working!!! Im doing market research, knocking on doors and expecting kind hearted folk to leave the barbies/gardening/tv watching etc and spend 45 minutes answering silly questions. as you can see Im demotivated, bored and utterly miserable but I have to work to pay my bills and if they dare to put up the retirement age again I will personally go and knock on the door of whoever is prime minister by then and ask him to take part in my survey.
By the way I did ask my local MP and he said he was too busy, he could have said 'come back later' but he didn't so wasn't that encouraging.

nina my son and his wife will also be at Twickenham watching the game with some friends. I shall be catching up on some housework having been away for a few days at the beginning of the week.
On Sunday we're lunching at a nearby hotel to celebrate my mother in law's birthday and she's insisting on paying; it doesn't seem right to me, but I can't persuade her otherwise.
Monday I hope will be windy so that my husband can go windsurfing and I can find somewhere snug to watch him and read a book, otherwise I expect we shall be keeping busy down on the allotment.

Truckfest Peterborough takes place on the East of England showground. It's a mixture of fairground, and displays of hundreds of lorries of all sorts shapes and sizes. The radiators of the US ones were above my head and I'm 5 feet 4 approx. Theres an arena for truck racing and other activities. It's a different type of family day out but you need to remember where you parked your car........!!!!
