Tonight's edition of Scotland Today - do I think it is party politics playing with people's emotions - yes I do!!! For the SNP to jump on the Farepak bandwagon now and hit out at Westminster really gets my goat - where were they 2 years ago?????
http://news.stv.tv/scotland/66795-scots-farepak-victims-still-waiting-for-compensation/
It is time that certain people stop thinking about their political careers and using Farepak as a means to an end and whilst I am still on this case, I will continue to point out such people who do same!!!

A Cheap Shot!!!!
So now we have John Mason (SNP Dept Work & Pensions Spokesperson) calling on the UK Government to compensate Farepak "victims".
I learnt about this cheap shot due to a telephone conversation with Radio Clyde last night and thankfully I was able to pre-record for both radio Clyde and Forth One in order to put the facts straight.
I am sick to death of various people using Farepak as a tool to get their *mugs* in the media when they obviously have nothing else better to do with their time. Do these *people* not realise or even think about the people they are hurting by dragging this old story up yet again!
In any event, John Mason has also managed to be headline news on Scotland Today http://video.stv.tv/bc/catchup-scotlandtoday-20081223-1350/
Thankfully, STV asked for my opinion and hopefully it will not be edited too much on tonight's evening news - fingers crossed anyway :0)

Not Such A Great Day
Well my day started off with waking up to snow which I was not impressed with. Got the kids dressed and set off to school with the questions of "mummy, why are you driving so slow........."? There was only a dusting of snow but black ice underneath and I thought 'the last thing I need is an accident'! Deposited the kids safely and headed off to Argos to get some Christmas shopping in before class at 11.
Managed to get all necessary Santa toys and boots for Chloe as it is freezing! Got home, picked up my notes and headed for Tax class. Was sitting in the car with learner driver in front waiting to turn left. Filter light came on and learner moved off - as did I. All of a sudden, from nowhere came a fire engine who decided to turn on sirens at last minute - learner driver braked fast, as did I but my wheels locked and I skidded into back of car :0( not a happy bunny was I!!! Thankfully no one was hurt but I was in a bit of shock. My car has a 2 inch cosmetic crack on bumper and the car in front has a crack along back bumper - upshot, it is costing me 2 years no claim bonus as my 4 years was NOT protected - I am such a fool !!!
Did not make class as I had quite a shock so went home and discovered the boots I had bought for Chloe were two right feet!! Phoned around Next only to discover there were NO more boots in that style and stock was NOT expected until January!!
Finally managed to find stock in Princes Street which is a nightmare to drive to considering all the roadworks.
Tonight, to top it all off, I have just been notified of the winners of this year's campaign of the year - which is an absolutely fantastic campaign but it cemented the fact that Jim Devine did in fact run off with the Farepak Savers Campaign of the year award last year - it makes me sick to be honest even although we [the campaigners] all knew the truth, it is hard to swallow seeing it in black and white. Ah well, I hope he is happy with his piece of metal!
Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day :)
