Maybe too much too soon, that Long and winding road home.th

Took The bus down the street today,  missed to connect on home so feeling up to it had a steady walk back to the house.  Not bad I thought, however, come tea time, conked out so once again an early bed - however as there is footie on the TV and radio I am about to be occupied.

An advert has reappeared on the TV for "ONE BIG SWITCH.CO .UK"'.  Which was last on several months ago .   I commented then that was yet another attempt by someone to set up a new company, get cut price utilities, etc,  so maybe they never managed to sign up twenty thousand likely customers last time and are having another go.

Like lots of folks we made use of one of these so called companies , but after some negociations with one of the big suppliers have managed to strike a new deal saving 50% on our previous set up.

So not so long ago we were being told by slippery Salmond and his sidekick, Nicola, that Scotland would be afloat with cash from offshore oil revenue!!!!   Did not quite work out as promised and the surplus this year is down to £1.8 billion. One  paper today even suggested that in the following years it could be down to £110 million.  certainly not enough to even line this massive economic "black hole" which we find ourselves staring into, even although our SNP leader has buried her head in the sand and ignoring the experts.  Not saying any more,at the moment,  however,  media have also commented that the Scottish government is planning on giving loans to Scottish farmers who are still waiting to be paid out by the EU agricultural folks , but due to a monumental botch up with their administration and a new super computer supposedly being installed.  It is reckoned that this new computer is costing £79million'!!!!!!!     WHAT,  HOW BLOODY MUCH????, and having just said previously that oil revenue could be down to £110 million,  SOMEONE IS HAVING A LAUGH. (All,the way to their offshore account).

Calm down , chill, relax, trying deep,breathing - gone are the days of spending what you could afford to pay for.!!!
