Anyone hear McDonnell ? No, but: https://twitter.com/iankatz1000/status/712265328429015040" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; It's all so bloody transparent and pathetic. Referring to Corbyn there, not McDonnell, I think. Probably right that, Cooper, in a Hague sort of way, wo...

Evening all. Well,it has been an interesting few days! Firstly,I thought that Corbyn and Mcdonell were excellent post budget.No more of the being tougher on welfare crap. But that's my opinion,what do the anti Corbyn people on here think of his first budget response? Lovely to wake up to the news th...

Morning.
Well,do I feel stupid?
Changed all our clocks/watches on Saturday night.Only discovered today,coming home with the dogs,that the clocks changed in Canada/US at the wknd.Not here.The children were going into school.I thought it was 9.30!
The small print on my calender is very small.

Rebecca

Morning everyone. Haven't been posting much these last few weeks.I find that I have nothing much to say.Maybe we just need the spring to arrive,but the country/Europe/world seems to be going to shit. Usual monstering of Corbyn/poor/disabled/elderly/foreigners The referendum is like the Scot Indy ref...

With Mr Ohso at the hospital for his pre-op today. {He goes in Monday for another look in his bladder} Appointment for just gone 12. Finally finished all the checks at 2:30. It's only ever taken half that time before. One elderly lady had been there since 11:30, and got out around five minutes befo...

A brilliant blog post. http://kathleenkerridge.com/2015/01/28/the-upsetting-reality-of-modern-day-poverty/ Afternoon all. Thanks for the blogpost Mrs Ohso. I hate it when 'celebs' give advice about frugal living.They don't have a clue usually. India Knight wrote a book about it,and,well,she might h...

4:30 and it isn't dark yet. :dance: There is light at the end of the tunnel. :D And only 5+weeks until March! How are you and Mr Ohso?And rebeccariots,has it stopped raining yet?

Some of the comments btl on Crispin Blunts' popper problem are very,very funny.

Morning. Just been reading the Guardian's spin on Labour membership. Ok, maybe there has been a lot of higher paid city dwellers joining, but in my very rural, not affluent, constituency there's been a 300% or more [if my sums are right] increase in members since May 2015. The postponed hustings an...

It's foul outside today.The dogs love it,so,sadly,I still get to take them out for 2 hrs min each day.I've been putting off walk no 2 for the past hour,but heyho,off we go again.

Rebecca

Yes and no. I agree that STW are a pretty terrible organisation overall, and Corbyn's links with them are a legitimate thing for his critics (in and out of Labour ) to cite. But he's not actually responsible for most of the rubbish that appears on their website, is he? He's just reaffirmed how wond...

Morning. Just want to remind all those who are - quite understandably - feeling demoralised and faint of heart re the Labour party antics of this written in November 2015. What a terribly prescient piece this was .... and horribly borne out by the described tactics of slur and undermining ascribed ...

Been moved to tears by the special Radio 4 bit they've just done on Bowie. I've been in tears on and off since 7am.What a sad day.

Had an email from that mob Momentum yesterday.
Bastards are only asking for support for those hard left,militant ,student nurses and junior doctors.

There are basically two "doomsday scenarios" about how the current tensions in the Labour party might play out. One is the one put forward by Haines - though unlike Oborne I don't see it as a remotely feasible scenario any time soon. It *might*, just possibly, come into view if we were ge...

I cannot count how many stories the Guardian has told over the last few days re the shadow cabinet re-shuffle. The political news seems to be a mixture of gossip,innuendo and speculation.This is not my idea of credible news.How about waiting until something happens then report it.Truthfully. And as ...

Harry Cole ‏@MrHarryCole 18 mins18 minutes ago Oh my. Corbyn himself comes out of oppo leader's to demand journalists leave the corridor while he conducts reshuffle. Full on teacher mode. Good for him. If they can't behave themselves they should be moved out of the way. One of the things I like bes...

It like dusk at the moment here in Bracknell. The wind has dropped and we have a fine misty drizzle. Horrible, horrible weather! Perfectly springlike here in Gainsborough. Blue sky,8 degrees,birds singing.Could be march and I feel that I should be looking at daffodils and tulips instead of holly,iv...

Hope everyone is warm and dry today,and had the sort of Christmas day they wanted yesterday.

Today is my favourite day of the entire year.
Nothing else comes close,despite my daughter being up since 3.30 am,grumping away and being on hunger strike.
She ate breakfast though!

Am off now, not sure whether I'll be back until after Christmas as have things to do. I'm going a bit Masterchef this year, trying to pep up our vegetarian Christmas meal. Will be making parmesan tuiles and basil & pea puree & a mushroom reduction to dot on the plate alongside Anthonio Carl...

I put some white roses and stuff(not just any old roses,marks and spencer roses))in the bathroom yesterday,seeing as it's freezing in there even in high summer,ready to do today.
Daisy,one of my cats,is eating them.

Again not totally sure of the source, I'm on medical information overload at present, but think some MPs objected to photos of dead children being sent to them and are classing it as bullying.
