And then Osborne came on. I had to turn him off.
In the last few days I've become far more angry than is good for me.
It leaves me wondering if I'll be able to stay up for the election results and if the Cons get in, how will I be able to get up and carry on as normal?
I've been pondering that.
If the Tories get in because they win a landslide [unlikely I know], in a sense it would be easier to accept than if the Tories sneak back in because of the votes of people who have fallen for the spiel of the 'lefter than you' small parties.
On a personal level my household won't be worse off financially under the Tories, may even be a few pounds up if the Tories did bring in a married people tax allowance.
But the way Britain will change in another five years of them in power is too depressing to contemplate.
An old friend of my husband lives in South America and has got got his papers sorted to be able to work in Cuba after a short work visit last year. He's going for a stint in May and has asked us to join him.
Have to admit if the Tories get in we may well take him up on it and leave the UK behind for as long as a Cuban tourist visa would allow.
At least several thousand miles away I'd be less likely to strangle the Ms Monroes of this world who will be no doubt whining on about how awful a Tory government is without taking responsibility for their role in how Cameron got back into No 10.
I was thinking yesterday,when the playlist was started,that there's no way I could sit through the election results.in fact I don't know how I'll be able to look online the next morning.could some brave person pm me to say if it's safe to open the page?

If there's another Tory led govt,well,at least I own my house,car,no debts at all.Will just stop reading the news,batten down the hatches and wait it out.
And any whining Tory enabling 'lefties' can starve for all I care.They will deserve it.
Last thing,I would hope Ed takes himself of to a nice,relaxing well paid job and gets 2 more kitchens,and tell Sparrow,dfh et al to fuck off.
