MP Expenses Scandal. Is Botox Claimable?



Whilst the row about MPs' expenses rumbles on, the question I want answered is "Did Hazel Blears claim for whatever it is she has had done to her face?" Because that sure doesn't look natural to me. Sorry if that sounds bitchy but I'm not a big facelift/botox fan and if the resultant face raises questions, what's the point. You have to admire Hazel's cheek though. After her boss says on national TV that her behaviour was "unacceptable" she then claims that he thinks she is doing an excellent job. Not quite sure that was the message being put out Hazel.



Son Paul and his fiancee Josephine have gone for a long weekend in Milan. If anybody deserves a break its these two. Each of them work more hours every week than I have ever done in any week in almost forty years working life. I really hope that they have a wonderful time. I know Paul has a few great ideas to make it a memorable few days.



A big thank you to Mark & Nita from Workhouse Marketing who treated us to a wonderful meal at Heathcote's The Longridge Restaurant last night. The food was excellent and we had a great evening. I can't recommend Workhouse enough. They are full of original ideas, highly creative and always keep to deadlines. To see their different approach click here.



After grumbling about the weather all week we actually saw some sunshine yesterday and Marion managed a bit of gardening. It's back to form again today with black clouds as far as the eye can see. We are going to take Marion's mum out for a bit of lunch. Tomorrow we are off to Llangollen to see old friends David and Janet Wareing. As our holiday will officially be over by then you can guarantee a couple of glorious days and next week will be a heat wave.

Although we have been on holiday we have been in touch with the office and the week has brought its fair share of problems. Peter's car broke down and we gave the go ahead for £1600 of repairs only to be told when the job was finished that another £1,700 worth had ben discovered. Talk about having you over a barrel! The bank managed to lose a payment for £7500 that we made to our element supplier in Italy and then managed to make it twice and most importantly poor Dave B who does our office cleaning got his first negative feedback on eBay. Oh dear.



Speaking of eBay, the first item in my sale of the century went for £180 which is OK. I'll know how the sale has gone on Sunday evening. Until then I'll leave you with a lesson in advanced cat yodelling.
