House moved and other things!

At last the very tardy Mr B has sent the contents papers back to his sols, who will forward to our sols!

Bit of luck and we will be moved on time .Hooray!

TW have annoyed me or at least HR has! Want me to go back to work even though Doc says no! Have they overstepped the mark? If so, i will have their guts for garters or nads for earings!

I got very stressy but mainly kept my cool.

Saw J and J on Tuesday which was good It is the lovely W's birthday today and we ate at the garden centre and chewed the cud!

lisa got me up early worrying abt mrs P who had turned her phone off last night in order to avoid Mrs H's alzheimic woes!

Such is the life of this Dissa who was made to rise earlier than anticipated

Benefits-the joys of being on benefits

Or should this be entitled why are there so many hoops to jump through to get benefits?

I hate the way you have to give the DWP the ins and outs of a duck's behind in order to secure what you are able to from them. I have secured both DLA and incapacity benefit already but its what you have to do to get them that gets my goat!

I am not a scrounger! I had a good job and now lung disease means i need benefits as my employers no longer pay me! I worked for 30 years plus until this happened!

Form this, form that. It gets up my nose. They'll be asking how much lavvy paper i used next
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

22/10/06

Got out a little this week, later in week actually as D is much better! I am still dealing with green phlegm from the depths! The unmentionables seem to have subsided thank goodness.

Still waiting for some peoples photos so we can publish the best!

Went to see l & C who are thinking of moving yet again!

D is back at work and needs a reasonable day on her 8-8 shift

I have a visit from Kayla tomorrow. please let it be fruitful

Another days telly watchin 17/10/06

Just did a blog for History Matters detailing the potentially same day i am going to have today that will just be like yesterday and the day before! This is because i am at the tail end of a chest infection on top of my already disabled bad chest!

I am feeling low and wish it would go away! Perhaps i need to get the SAD light down soon. The abscence of a bit of sun this week is getting me down.

Havent heard from sister who had a blood transfusion! Such promises to keep me informed are always not met!

Train crash in Rome doesnt look good. Thought about Remo's dad,Feliciano, who lives in Roma.

Manager phoned and is coming on Monday next to see me for the usual chat about how I am doing.

Am eating far too much but eating less is difficult as I permanently have the munchies.

House move just about on track, thank God!

positive mental attitude is what i need!

15/10/06

Dragged myself of my sick bed last night and went to I's 60th. Great fun with a fish and chip supper . Met the Tesco girls and a lady called Gloria in the loo of the kings. Chan de lier was great with her faux southern accent.

Cant believe In was ever that young or that thin!

Came out earlier with goodie backs, stinking of, and choking with, the smoke. I have the right to breathe dont I? I hate smoking with a vengeance and the sooner it's illegal the better!

Came home to see who had gone out of Strictly come dancing. Didnt believe it!

Today we are both munging out watchin da box!

D will go to the docs for a cert tmrw.

Friday 13/10/06

I think all that 13th stuff is bunkum! Perpetuated by worried scared people. Not me!

I have enough troublesome things happen to me on any day of the week!

Still bringing up phlegm off my chest infection. Yuk! D is back at the Docs today poor love. She is in pain from constant coughing.

I am fed up with being indoors I have to say.

That said i am happy enough and will be glad when the unmentionables disappear with a second 'once' only tablet on Monday.

My sister "A" is having a blood transfusion this am as her fibroids are causing her to be anaemic. I am thinking of her. She may end up having a hysterectomy. We will then be hister sisters.

Jack Straw is right!

As a Christian I firmly believe in a persons right to practice their religion without hindrance.

However the recent furore over Jack Straw's request that muslim women consider de veiling whilst in one of his surgeries has hacked me off!

Firstly it was only a request, its not law!

Secondly we are a society that relies on seeing a face in order to determine how a person is feeling!

I have a friend who was in an airport queue and whose passport was about to be checked by a veiled woman. He shifted to another queue rather than be seen by her saying "I refuse to be seen by someone whose face I cannot see especially as she is checking me for my right to be here". This was done quietly at the time but neverthless he has recounted the story to all and sundry many times.

I respect and encourage all womens rights. However a little more integration on the part of the currently veiled wouldnt go amiss !

ALL YOUR NEEDS

ALL YOUR NEEDS

May you have:

Enough happiness to keep you sweet
Enough trials to keep you strong
Enough sorrow to keep you human
Enough hope to keep you happy
Enough failure to keep you humble
Enough success to give you comfort
Enough wealth to meet your needs
Enough enthusiasm to look forward
Enough faith to banish depression
Enough determination to make each day better than yesterday

I found this on a recent 50th birthday card and I think its great!

Its a fragile life 10/10/06

Just heard that someone I used to work with has died of cancer. That and the snooker player of 27 thats just died has got me thinking about the fragility of life and why everyday should be lived to the full. And of course the lovely N died at 43 in July!

I could be moany about my current state of health but moaning does not help. It makes you feel worse I am sure.

Life is precious, fragile,exciting,terrific,sometimes difficult. Definitley to be lived to the full!

Just because I can no longer climb Everest doesnt mean I can climb mental Everest's or climb the physical Everest of my disease. We shall overcome.

Back from very wet Weymouth! 8/10/06

We loved Weymouth! All we did was eat cakes in cake shops, drink tea, drink wine. Oh and sleep!

We slept a lot because we both have vile upper respitory tract infections!Yuk! I had to go to the docs and get antibiotics!Which then gave me two unmentionable side effects!

We both read loads which meant we slowed write down after the hussle and bussle of my birthday and the CP!Still living in the good of both of last weeks events.

On way home we went to West Bay and sat in the sun and ate....chips. Excellent.

Home to a ton of washing, some of which I have just struggled to get out. Mind you its clouding over here in not so sunny Swindon.

Glad to be back in own bed!

D needs her sleep as she starts her first night duty on Monday night! That's if she goes in as she sounds dreadful.

civilly partnershipped and over 50!

Yesterdays civil partnership was magic! I am truly blessed with D!

Families all got on well together and the dinner went well also. Back to ours for cake and champagne then D and I laid down for a....sleep! Such were the rigours of 2 hectic days.

She has been an absolute treasure and has clean and tidied again!

Today 3rd October we took the glasses back to P and got some petrol for the journey to our
"Honeybob" in Weymouth. We do not care what the weather is like as we intend to...eat,sleep and eat chocolate and drink the 4 days away!Slept soundly for 2 hours in the afternoon.

We are like a couple of old dears, saying exactly the same thing at the same time. Quiet odd.

Its a lovely feeling this being "married" or being PC, civilly partnershipped.

No blogs til Saturday now as I shall have better things to do while on my honeymoon (as above)

Civil partnership day 2/10/06

Today I civil partnership with D. A very big day for us both! Wicked!!

I received the most wonderful flowers this am from D. She is lovely and wonderful!

Yesterdays birthday celebrations went well and it all seemed to go well. J was outrageous but then he always is!!He was an uber bitch yesterday!

My family seemed at ease which was good.

I am nervous and as always need the loo!

As you can imagine it went far too quickly.

Reaching 50 on 1/10/06

I woke at 12.10 (midnight) as D was fidgeting and said "has it gone 12". She said "yes" and I said"its my birthday!". She smiled and rolled over and went back to sleep!

I feel no older than yesterday. Just a tad more "grown up" as I do each birthday. In my mind I am still 17.HAHA!

J & A sang over the phone and will see me later. Mrs P sang over the phone too!Nuff said.

D bought me a dissa badge holder, a bottle of champagne and an exquisite piece of Swarovski crystal of two kingfishers on a branch. I wept as I am such a lucky woman!

D's family bought me a TT plate with a kingfisher on. It is wonderful.

I feel so loved and appreciated. I have a good life and am grateful to God for such blessings.
