Mothering Sunday as the clocks went forward – To a Family Service after discussions with Sally and Percy which resulted in having to put up John Brown from Perry. Then writing to my Focus deliverers to retrieve the situation, before more tax planning for Daniel and I. The weekend opinion polls have Labour still two points ahead of the Tories who seem bound to lose this election.
I had told my colleagues that I was going to be home today and so I was expecting to be talking to several of them. I returned telephone calls to Sally and Percy and covered the problems that I was having with my Paxton deliverers getting the election leaflets delivered and then discussed the choice of candidate for Paxton Ward, It seems that we have to propose John Brown from Perry as we could not find anyone from within the ward but the consolation will be that he will be a keen councillor if elected. Today the clocks went forward and we lost an hour of the morning and then the family church service was due at 11.00am and so it was soon time to rush off.

We managed to get Daniel as well as the two girls to go along and so had a full set for our pugh in church. This would have reflected well upon us were it not for Debbie and Della having a very unseemly wrestling match over who should sit where in front of a large congregation! A nice service and then home to lunch after which Diana collected friends for the girls to play with. Debbie had one of them, Tabatha, to sleep over with her and we enjoy her company. I spent the rest of the day preparing and then delivering letters to each of my deliverers apologising for the arrangements and seeking their help for the future. Then, this evening, I turned to the last of the action needed for year-end tax planning and, in particular, worked out Daniel's own tax affairs for best results until the time was quite late. The weekend opinion polls have Labour still two points ahead of the Tories who seem bound to lose this election.
