David Milliband, Wayne Rooney, Ed Milliband, The Tea Party and Physiotherapy

Just had so much to do havent even been on this account for weeks it seems.I have got decorators doing hall stairs and landing..it was last done when I was pregnant with R and apparently people re decorate every 2-3 years!!!! Well in this house, and if I cant do the rollering and wipe over the wood work it an every 12 years job.

I am in intensive Physio for my leg because although the break is done, I have very angry tissue which is not allowing my foot to move as normal. GRRRRrrr well angry. Physio really fucking hurts you know. I am back on crutches so that we can save the anger for the the physiotherapy and not for hobbling around trying to do normal stuff. So many people have a broken leg story which always end up with "and Ive never been the same since" or " and Ive walked like a cripple since" so I am bloody determined to get it back to normal and will have all the physio i can. I cant imagine what it would be like if I was getting a bill for it at the end.

Ed Milliband beat his brother in the great Labour leadership race. I forced everyone to watch the announcement and it was so exciting reading out the points and adding in the 2nd choice... so that results were announced for David Milliband and you could feel everyone totting up the totals and a gasp, then a cheer went up from different areas of the conference as it was realised that David had only 49.35%, needing over 50% plus 1% more than the 2nd place. (Am I boring you yet) Then Ed's totals were announced at 50.65%. They had known the results and all the commentary was about guessing what their faces told us, and the BBC guessed the wrong way as David was smiling, but Ed was poker faced. (Bored Yet?) Well, H, A and I thought it was thrilling, and then N came in and said "fuckin' 'ell, cant wait for the DVD for Christmas" We who were interested, wondered if it was covered in America....we know all about the Tea party loonies.

What a weekend of football results..only Man City won! I know you wont be happy with that but it is so exciting for those of us who dont have a Premiership Team. Rooney needs to sort himself out but I will not write him off for the sake of a couple of prostitutes...Of course he's a stupid man who needs to control his testosterone, and we feel for Colleen who is generally viewed as a normal pleasant girl who wears Asda Clothes, but football and Englands qualification for Euro 2012 are more important.

Washington Mayor Elections,

Big news here is that Adrian Fenty (DC Mayor) lost the primary. Oh, and he is serving his first term as Mayor, was going on to do great things, and f'd it all up because of his huge ego, and refusing to listen to advice etc. It's a MAJOR shock, I don't really like the guy that ran against him, but Fenty was the golden boy who turned out to be a DICK. His British wife who wants NOTHING to do with politics, was forced by the campaign to go on TV and beg people to vote for him, and she was in tears, because she really didn't want to do it. Now once again, people are asking me if I know her because she is black and British. Fenty was pissed because he and Obama are boys and he wanted Obama to publicly endorse him, but he couldn't because it was the primary - Democrat against Democrat. Apparently Fenty can still run, but he will need to change parties and become a Republican, he has until this afternoon to declare his intentions. If he does, all credibility is lost forever, and his political career is well and truly over. He said before the election that he wouldn't do it if he lost, but power is a mighty aphrodisiac. He will lose, DC is 94% Democrat, so there is no advantage to him doing it.
