Holidays

Well , Today is the last day of my holdiay and that is really it now until next year.
The days are getting shorter and , it is begining to feel colder as well so winter is slowly but surely falling upon us.
I will get a 3 day possible 4 day break for Christmas and 2 days for the New Year which will be more than enough as I am more of a Chirstmas person than i am a New Years Eve person and I do so so enjoy Christmas.

With next years holidays I will proberly take some time off in may when the election is called to canvass the area that i am standing in , but I will do a majority of the work whilst I am still at work , 2 weeks should be enough and hopefully they will leave the counting alone and make sure it happens on the Thursday night and Friday morning like it has been for as long as I can remember.0.6%
The last time I was invited to the count was about 12 years ago when my mum stood for UKIP in the parlimentary elections in 1997 in Edmonton ,Enfield and she polled 260 votes and got 0.6%.
UKIP were really almost new then and she and the other candidates were all self funding like we will be and if you look at the link which will be below , number 29 they really have not faired that much better in the 2 elections since she stood and in they polled 2.3% which was 1.2% rise , So i am looking to do better as , if you look at number 31 Enfield / Southgate I will need to get about 2,100 votes or so to keep my deposit , but of course that is only if the same number of people vote as did in the last election , but I would think more will come out this time around and the mre people who vote means the more votes i require.
