What A Year So Far!!

I seem to be lacking on the posting front yet again, whoops...lets see what I cant remember!!

To start with, because I have no money ive not been able to see the lovely other half and that sucks!!

Ive also been admitted to hospital but instead of it being for my asthma, it was for tummy pain, and I was there for 10 days. Sadly they couldnt operate though to sort the problem because of my lungs so they sent me home on pain relief...but the pain is still there and its horrid.

On other notes, Ive had my Uni interview which went ok. Not heard anything yet, so no news is good news right!?

This week I am back it Birmingham and I also have my DLA Tribunal so fingers crossed something positive will come out of those two!!

On crappy notes, my EX step dad is being the biggest A hole imaginable and told me and mum that we have to get out. As we have been told by the solicitor that we have to stay untill he gives us money we are literally being treated like shit and I really do hate having to sit here through it!!

Im pretty sure thats most of the last few weeks, if not watch this space c;

Out With The Old - In With The New!!

Ok so it seems I have slacked a little with the blog side of things, whoops, I personally blame Christmas!!

So I'm trying to think for where we left off and I'm mega failing...

Well in brief, I have got an interview for Uni in the middle of this month, ive got another appointment for Birmingham, and I have also got my court case for fighting to get DLA which could be rather stressful I think!!

Going back a few weeks though, I have spent lots of time with the amazeballa girlfriend who has been beyond support its unbelievable!! We had our first mini Christmas as I couldnt get down actually on Christmas day. We swapped gifts at this time also and she got me the most amazing present ever!! Very thoughtful!!

As mentioned in previous posts I was going to be volunteering in a homeless shelter on christmas day, I had been to all the briefing and meetings and all was going swimmingly, untill of course I got admitted to hospital with my Asthma and didnt get let out untill Christmas eve to which it was still un safe for me to be volunteering, and good job I didnt as by boxing day I was poorly again and was taking a visit to the out of hours gp, what a fun filled christmas hey!!

Ive been bouncing up and down to cornwall visiting the lush other half, and we went back to eden project as I now have free entry for a year-bargain!!

I have also gone back and visited some of the staff  at my old works and it was super lush, and I also got to have a walk around the new ward that if my health wasnt such a nightmare I would be working on, ans its super cool!!

Today though I have been a little poorly where I didnt sleep very much as all last night and I have also been massively sick, it wasnt very nice at all!!

But onwards and upwards, got a uni inteview in a few weeks and I need to prepare!! Yay!!

Oh and I nearly forgot, Asthma UK have Bern in contact and want to do a press release on the sponsored walk in February!!

Doesn't Time Fly By?!

I was just looking at the latest blog I posted to make sure I didnt repeat anything and wow it has been a long time since I last had a ramble at you all!!

So, since we last chatted (theoretically...) I have:

Been doing my usual crap of sitting on me rear trying to breathe, I have also been going back and forth to physio to help with my crazy muscle weakness, which I have to say is going well, but it is really hurting and causing me to be mega exhausted muscle wise for the rest of the week!!

On a good note though, I have been very busy visiting people and doing stuff as I fear that I have been out of hospital a little while now so I pretty sure I'm going to splat soon and I could do it rather well!!

So, last weekend I went down and picked out the lovely other half form work and met a few everyone, that she works with, which I have to say was a little bit nervy on the old body as there was about 15 of them, but I done it so there one section of friends complete lol.
Saturday night, we sat and watched a few horror films which I actually crapped myself with [I prefer a good old disney film if im honest lol]
Sunday morning we made pancakes and munched on them in bed which was amazing, and when we eventually got up, we went to the Eden project which looked stunning all christmassy with all the lights on. I also managed to get us both on the temporary ice skating rink that was there, but flipping heck my lungs and muscles didnt half play me up for it!! On the evening we went out for a meal and had the fatest munch ever, we rolled into bed...literally haha
Fianlly Monday...we were aiming to go to port isaac as I wanted to go to the home of Doc Martin, but when I pulled up in the car park, it was raining, the sea was in and I really didnt want to get cold and wet, so we went to the next little town over and got some portable lunch and found another little town called rock where we sat in the car, munched at could watch the sea in the warm!! In true style, I managed to get us lost on the way back though which I have to say was rather funny!! I finally left Cornwall at 2230 and got home around 1240 *shatter.com*

0600...yup you read right, that crazy time in the morning, I was awake as mum had a hospital appointment that I promised I would run her too...she said we had to leave by 7!! So there I am, up readed, medicated and rearing to go...kind of. Then mum rocks into my room and says "whoops I got the time wrong,we could have had an extra hour in bed"....you what, thanks mum!! Ah well, atleast we wasnt rushing around at last minute lol!!

We finally get back just in time for me to go to physio, once that was finished, I had a quick power nap, as then was off to Bristol to see my dad briefly, and then off to the Besties house for the night.

0500 (i swear these times are getting earlier) me and the bestie are awake as...we are off to London!! Our initial intentions was to be getting a new piercing, but after getting there and wondering around for anhour and a half and not being bale to find the shop I got pissed off and refused to keep looking. We ended up going to harrods to buy coffee, M&M world to buy absolutly anything...to which I did, but it was great, who knew you could spend so much time in just one shop...and then, we went to TGI fridays for a munch, followed by the rainforest shop before making our way home. Oh that was after we had to wait for our stupidly delayed coach argh!! Lets say, we slept the whole way home haha.
Thursday morning we were up by about 0930 (thankfully a day with a normal hour) and within an hour I was on my way home-ish. Via a flower shop and then via nan and grandads graves to re make their new homes look remotely good!!

Well, I have to say, I think that that has been my fun filled few days/weeks!! busy hey!! Im pretty sure I will keep you all posted on the next few lot of adventures!!

Stolen...Whoops

I was reading a post by someone I follow and I have to say, I chuckled a lot and really had to share it...but didnt want to take the gratitude for it. So here it is!!

"The new release of iTunes has had me thinking about playlists. I'm largely bored by playlists, I'm sure that we all have them - playlists called 'At the Gym', or 'Walking to work', maybe 'In the bath', or even just 'Happy', 'Sad', or 'Romantic'.

I have playlists organised by decade, '80's', 90's and so on.

I think that we need a new way to think about playlists, one that will spark imagination rather than to just be a way of organising our tracks.

What sort of music would you put in the playlist 'My Nemesis is Dead at My Feet'?, how about 'Songs to play at my funeral', or even better 'Songs to *never* be played at my funeral'. What about playlists like 'Drinking champagne on the top of a tower block while pissing over the edge'? 'Being chased by remnant KGB assassins'? 'Songs that I sing aloud to when I'm drunk and alone'? Or even 'On discovering that I'm not actually human'?

How about 'Songs to commit serial murder by', or the more prosaic 'Soundtrack for my favourite book'?

What would be in your '24 hours until the planet explodes' playlist, or the much happier 'A meteorite wipes out the houses of parliament while every damn MP is in the building'?

What would be your playlist for 'Finally Achieve Godhead'?

Come on folks, let's be a bit more creative than 'Relaxing Toonz'."

I Need Your Help!!

On the 13th of February 2013 a few of us will be doing a sponsored walk in Cornwall. We are raising money for the charity Asthma UK.

My girlfriend came up with the idea a few weeks ago, and I said I will tag along to support her. This will be a massive challenge for me in particular because of my asthma and newly diagnosed muscle weakness, but I am positive about it and I will be doing it....BUT we need your support!!

Here is the just giving page, any amount can help!!

Ubber Cool Weekend!!

Recently myself and the mother have been spending lots and lots of time together which so super lush!!

This weekend we went to Cadbury Garden Centre, had a gander around all their Christmas decorations (spent far to much money yet again) and then shared a scone and had a yummy toffee nut latte from starbucks...mmmmmmm

Once that little adventure was over we went and paid a visit to a friend of my mums who she hasnt seen in a blinking long time, and from what I could tell, she had a thoroughly good day which is great!!

Well, then it was an early night for me as I had to be up at a crazy hour to drive to Exeter to meet the other half!!

Although it was crappy weather the day was bloody amazing, I started the day off.by deciding not to use my sat nav and got lost *twit*. Then I could fond the right car park, and low ans behold, I then got re lost trying to fins the museum, *DoubleTwit* to which I finally found, half hour later.

The whole day consisted of visiting the museum, having a walk around a stunning park *RaindropDodging*, having lunch in Marks and Sparks and then shopping!! A great day that I really did enjoy, yay!!

Well that sums up my little weekend, Im all smilies and super happy, life couldnt be better (forgetting about my cruddy health of course)

My Adventure To Birmingham

Birmingham was on Wednesday, and wow what an adventure it was.

We didnt think at first that we would make it, with all the rain we had just missed the flooding in the next town down and within 2 junctions we had just passed 3 smashed up cars. With setting off at 8 AM *yawn* we made it to Birmingham by about 11ish I think...thank goodness for my road trip selection on the ipod.

The craft section of the German market we decided to visit was lush. Mum got a bag with her birthday money from nan, and I got some super ace rose lights. Sadly though as I took so long with walking we had to leave the rest and go to my appointment at Heartlands, but mum was cool and took me back for the rest after...which took we even longer to walk around. I got some amazeballs gingerbread, pretzles and nuts though mmmmmmmm.

My Sexy Rose Lights

My ubber lush pretzle

Fantastic Lights

Ok so the main point of this blog: Heartlands. A bit of mixed emotions about it if I must say. Not sure whether its good or bad really!!

Long story short, they basically wont let me stop any medications still, but have increased my antihistamine yet again and started more antibiotics. They are refusing to let me have surgery on my stomach to stop my reflux untill my lung function is a lot better. Im being tested for something called steroid myopathy so that could be interesting. Want me to send off yet more gunk to see if they can grow anything. Im also being told they are keeping a close eye on me so I have to go back again within 8 weeks-oh and my observatios where shocking and they wouldnt take me just walking ip the stairs as an excuse, damn . (Atleast theres and excuse to go shopping in Birmingham hey!!)

I think thats what they mainly said, its still a little muffled in my brain with it being to much to take in again.
