As the weather turned from being mild to very cold, I walked Sam with the girls to their bus stop and it transpired that although Debbie was nervous about her GCSE Mock Exams her day was quite tolerable.

I first woke up in the early hours as Diana was snoring, and my mind was full of the LibDems troubles that I had heard of and read about yesterday.

Then I dozed off fitfully until woken by Diana this morning with my cup of tea as it was the first day back at Kimbolton for our girls.
My Psion then chimed in at 6.50am, reminding me to sit up and to take note of the main radio news stories before I scrambled to get washed, shaved and down to breakfast with the girls. A short walk with Sam and then he joined me to escort them to the bus stop.
Debbie was nervous about her GCSE Mock Exams that start this morning and continue for nearly two weeks, but I reassured her and reminded her of the basic rules in tackling an exam paper.
A longer walk for Sam after and then back home to find I had missed my chance to talk to Daniel about why the satellite TV in the lounge had packed up but found out later that it was the handyman parting the cable in the loft.
The whole day at home, working early and late on my December summary and in between paying bills and reconciling my bank and credit card accounts.
From this I established that we had a lot less cash than I thought and so had to run out and transfer cash from our investment account at an interest penalty to bolster our cheque account. With bills from Di's Christmas spending and my other activities now it seems that we are depleting our cash resources far quicker than we are earning them and will have to spend a lot more carefully.
Worked on until bedtime also listening to an exciting League Cup quarter final match where Norwich sadly lost a close match to Bolton. The girls managed their first day back at school all right and Debbie's mock examinations were quite tolerable.

The weather changed markedly today from being mild to very cold as high pressure moved across the country and the airstream came from the north-west again. This will make the river levels rise in Horning again.
