"Fiddling Expenses"

The MP expenses row continues. The Torygraph is using those big type headlines that should be reserved for the outbreak of war. And a debate has ensued about 'fiddling' one's expenses.

Which is confusing me. In my head fiddling expenses is nicking a pen or making sly phone calls. Maybe claiming for a dinner that wasn't business. BUT... having your pool cleaned! £25k for cleaning!

This is not fiddling, this is orchestrating, this is every CD ever solding.. its huge..

And how did they think that was ever going to be OK. I don't know whether to be more annoyed that they are corrupt or that they are stupid!

Remembering What I Enjoy..

Occasionally I forget things. Some stuff like birthdays, names and stuff is a normal human thing, and I don't sweat it so much. But I also forget some other stuff which is not so good. I forget what I enjoy. I don't know how it happens but it does from time to time. And its at these moments that I need a bit of help remembering. So- this is a request for help. What do I enjoy doing? What gives me joy? Leave me a comment.

Who will rid me of this meddlesome...

... piano? It occurred to me yesterday as i nursed ANOTHER bruise on my arm.. that I have had a piano sat in my hallway for 2 months! It seemed like such a good idea at the time but apparently is not... its stuck there and everytime I walk down my hall I have to squeeze past the darn thing- often not successfully! A number of options lie before me: -chop the thing into several hundred pieces -find lots of people who want to move it.. to where I'm not sure -sell it -give it away -pray it away It goes next weekend.. even if it kills me... which it might.. hummm
