FFS,,more ranting, Wayne Roney MP ? from the mouths of babes

In my head this morning - this was going to happen today-

Take kids to school/nursery 

Go to grown up world do some  good work

Pick up kids -survive the Bastard Ballet/Tesco's donuts  run

Cook dinner,wash children, clean up get them to bed early

Evening- do useful things in peace -IE post pictures of sheds and Billie Piper on www.shedtune.co.uk,write up car progress blog,file house renovation pictures,back up lap top, tidy picture files on hard drive-all that sort of stuff you know you should do but never do - our picture files in the hard drive span years and resemble a "virtual bowl of shame"-every house has one- a fruit bowl on a sideboard somewhere containing flat AA batteries,snapped terminal screwdrivers,keys that don't fit anything that's been  in your possession for the last 10 years and always  parts of  broken "free" plastic toys that came with children's "comics" (why is it when you put the sodding pretend plastic spider man watch ,with  snapped strap and integral choking hazard into the bin  you can guarantee the next visitor to the bin will be the child owner of aforementioned dross ,they spot the detritus you thought was safely off loaded to landfill  and set about emptying the bin an emotional wreck trying to rescue the bloody thing ) 

So how did things pan out in real time rather than in my head?

Grown up world went OK apart from I got side tracked by fucking Samsung world again - I wanted to top up my Tesco's pay as you go - I use the phone so rarely that thankfully I don't do this much- anyway I couldn't remember how to do it on line -ah I though use the phone ..dial the free number speak to a person, one snag,its a useless crap phone with a touch screen- to top up you have to press "number 2" once through to the automated service- it took me two attempt's to work out how to access the "keypad" whilst on call, once pressed the phone shit itself thinking I was trying to make another call and displayed "INVALID APP" meanwhile the calming automated voice kept saying "we haven't detected a selection thus will end the call please phone blah blah if you are having difficulties " oh FFS It was made worse by the fact that my sausage fingers had somehow put it on loudspeaker- not good in an open plan office ..a sharp strike to the desk ejecting  the battery when the bastard wouldn't turn off did the trick
I eventually topped it up online after a Google search  revealed that the place to top it up is not in fact
https://www.mytescomobile.com/
but 
https://topup.tescomobile.com/ConsWeb/LandingStrip/TMLogin.aspx

Jesus Christ why make things so difficult ? why cant web sites, and phones for that matter have a "Luddite" button
In comparison the  childcare that followed was a doddle apart from one small glitch- on the way to  donut isle the 3 year old spotted "magazines" displaying all his favorite plastic choking hazards at £4 a shot -no bloody chance I thought, you lay there and head bang the floor in rage whilst I go get the donuts 

Needless to say Ive been wasting time writing this tosh rather than doing the "bowl of shame" jobs I should be doing 

From the mouths of babes- 

On a recent Saturday morning drive to take the 8 year old  fencing -don't ask- the conversation was C02 emissions - he wants to build an air powered car- I explained that he would need power to compress the air to drive the car etc, anyway, unusually for me  I mentioned that politicians are the biggest problem in the clean energy argument ,as they are only interested in being greedy rather than fixing things -that's why you should always think very carefully who you vote for and make a politician or prime minister  etc ... he thought for a while and then said
"It wouldn't be a good idea for Wayne Rooney to be a politician would it?" 

On a lighter note this was spotted on the fridge door tonight

Well roll on Wednesday - no pack lunches to make in the morning, no after school activities- I may even get time not to address the "bowl of shame" items on the list
