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.

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.

What A Blinking Day Hey!!
When I woke up this morning, I was in a good mood, I was happy, cheery and ready for the day a head...and then I went down stairs, bad move I say!!
My now ex stepdad was sat in the lounge with mum, and as he was getting ready to sod off to work, he was ranting away...about me!!
He told my mum how its my fault he is in debt, because he has had to spend out extra money on food and bills etc and im not paying him anything. (may I add here that I still get no finacial help, Im still not allowed to work, and when I do have a bit of money, I get my own bit of food and I always give mum any spare bit of cash I have) so yes this majorly upset me as hes not my dad, I have a perfectly good dad but u fortunatly he lives 50miles away from me and works all hours so it wasnt suitable for me to move in with him!!
Once he had said this, he then blames the above situation on not being able to pay mum back!!
He also then went on to say he is spending much needed cash on hospital car parks...for one im sorry I have to go to so many clinics and my asthma is so uncontrolled at the minute, and secondly, he has never once visited me whilst I have been an inpatient so I dont have a clue what he is yabbing about!!
Todays second horrid moment was when I got to physio, they discharged me from the knee clinic from the injury I sustained, but have admitted me to the muscle weakness section. my physiotherapist has express large concerns about my lack of muscle mass. He has said that the steroids are having a huge effect on them and said my muscles are basically none existant!! I now have to go weekly for the next six weeks. He didnt even want me to wait till my appointment in Birmingham on Wednesday. Though he also mentioned that the physio may not actually do much whilst im still on the steroids, if anything what may happen is the wasting will just slow down a little. My response to that-its better than nothing being done at all!!
The third and final cruddy moment for today is that when I get back from physio, the prat I mentioned above decided to say to me "so you actual found your muscles now and stop being lazy". This really hurt me, as I havnt chosen to be like this, yes it has made me whole I am today but if i had healthy lungs and could be like any other 21 year old, I would certainly choose that path!!
Just because him and my mum have split, does it really give him the right to treat me this way, talk to me like he does and actually make me feel rubbish!? because in my eyes, no one should make anyone feel like that!!
On a good note, Birmingham on Wednesday, with a trip around the German market!! Quality time with the mother!!

Just Giving!!
I have to say since being on the Asthma UK forum and Facebook page, I have met some amazing people, made some amazing friends that will stay with me forever and I'm now going to get stuck in and help these people I have met!!
Recently I put a post on their Facebook page mentioning that I wanted to start helping with fundraising, and within a few days I had a reply...and to be honest I was a little shocked, as I didn't think that anyone actually would!!
Well, shall I cut to the chase!?
Basically, someone called Daniel Brookes contacted me saying that he was about to embark on a huge challenge!!
He is going to run the London Marathon next year!! Yes the whole wacking 26.2 miles...and he also has bad Asthma as a result of a nasty work related incident. He truly in showing that it can be done, an inspiration to other I say!!
Please can you spare a second to give a donation via his just giving page (https://www.justgiving.com/Daniel-Brookes1) No matter how large or small the donation is, its going to do wonders for the charity that has helped both Dan and I plus many others!! Oh and remember to hit the Gift aid button if your a tax payer, lets make the government give something back for us!!
Here is the link again:

What A Turn Around!!
Happy Happy Happy!!!
I say this in one breath because the super lovely girl that I have been getting on really well with and who I have huge feelings for has decided that she wants to take things to the next step and be my Girlfriend, so I'm happy to say that I am officially off the radar, yay!! I really can't believe that I could like anyone again, especially after the way my last girlfriend treated me!! But sticking with the positivity, and fingers crossed things continue to go as well as the are!!
Sad Sad Sad!!!
In the other breath, I'm mega sad as on Saturday night my mum and step dad split, and he was being super nasty to her and was stressing her right out, so I packed the car, took my rabbit and the pup to my sisters, and gave my fish a holiday block and I drove myself and my mum to Manchester to stay with my Nan for a few days. Just got back today, and I am bloody knackered, and the atmosphere is well SHIT!!
I got upset as whilst mum popped out for two seconds, all his ids came around and started slagging off me and mum, yet we really don't understand what we have done wrong. What have we done to deserve this?! It makes no sense at all!!
Tomorrow me and mum are ringing citizens advice to find out how quickly we can get out of this house as my lungs for one are super twitchy already and mum is coming out is nasty rashes so it really isn't fair on us at
all!!
So a breath of two halves I say!!
Oh and its mummykins Birthday tomorrow, so I am taking her to Street hopefully to spend some good quality time with her and then in the evening, myself and my sister and her boyfriend are taking her bowling, we are refusing to let these people spoil her day!!
Well, quick catch up from me!!
