Been having a little two weeks break away

First things first I wish you all as happy a new year as possible. Have to say I had a brilliant Christmas. Having the family around watching the kids opening their presents from Santa. Anne, my wife sprinkled fairy dust from the three year olds bed to here presents. Layla's joy at seeing the fairy dust was a joy to see. I wasnt really fairy though just silver stars and the like. We are still hoovering up remnants of the fairy dust now. Its in our bed down the loo and even on the front door mat lol. Anne also took Layla down to the front of the flat to spread out some oats for Santa's reigndeer.

I took a complete break away from my business for a couple of weeks as the past two months were just so busy. Hense no blog entries.

My next few comments will not be so positive though as I fear 2013 is going to be a very tough year.

I think the one thing we can all agree on is this country is in a deep hole that will take a lot of digging out from. It seems to me that the condems are digging the hole even deeper though. We need the people of this country all pulling together.
 
 Instead we have a government intent on pitting sections of society against eachother. The people of this country need to have hope for a better future. ...Instead we have a government intent on taking away the hope from the young, the unemployed and disabled etc.
 
The people of this country need to feel they have a stake in a future. But for to many there is no stake at all because they can see no future. The people of this country need to feel they are working towards a better more tollerent society. Instead we have a government fostering and nurturing intollerence for political gain.
 
Everyone rich. poor, black, white, abled disabled, male, female need to have hope for a better future. But so many of us have no hope whatsoever because they cannot see any long term future. So many of us cannot envisage a week into the future let alone a year or two years etc.
 
Speaking for myself the atmosphere of negativity here in the UK is getting me down. To the extent that I just feel like giving up on my own business.  But I have always been a fighter as a dyslexic you have to be to survive. I have been fighting hashimotos disease for over 10 years and type two diabeties also. It feels like no matter what I do now if and when I do retire I will do so in poverty. Sooner or later my medical conditions will catch up with me and I will be at the tender mercys of ATOS. I fear for the future of mysef, my wife, the kids, the young and of everyone here in the UK.
 
I will get over this and get my head back into the business groove next week.
