What a week

With the emergency budget taking place this week and the most crucial game in England's World Cup campaign to date happening later today - it has certainly been an eventful week.

The Budget has been an interesting one - boasting a couple of sweeteners for new businesses and SMEs - but not so good for anyone planning to go on holiday, do up their house, buy a new car etc next year.

There was little mention of technology as well, or further cuts to public sector IT spending - but I'm sure that is to come further down the line.

But the Budget is yesterday's news - today it is all about the football.

Will England pull their collective finger out? Or will they be heading for an early bath?

My team of choice, Italy, isn't doing so well either and ironically is in exactly the same position as England.

I will hopefully be watching the match this afternoon and willing the team to actually show their loyal fans what they are made of.

I would love to see an England vs Italy clash in this competition - I will be very unpopular in my office - but it would be a dream match for me!

Come on England!
