    If only Smiley...It does seem to happen more than ever but not the lottery:doh:

    I must get this rubbish cleared but I have hit a brick wall but I promised myself I would clear it and I will even if I stay up all night. It is blocking the landing so it must be done.

    It's funny how you sometimes find things that really you don't know whether to keep or disguard but I have filled one and half wheelie bins so far and if I finish it can go out tomorrow as it is collection day.

    I just want the house to be tidy. Even if I need new carpets, curtains, sofa and beds. If I get this done the house is. Then the outhouse over the weekend and all is well.

    Hi well I went to see the consultant today and I have raised interracial pressure but he does not know what the lumps are so is referring me to a neurologist and put me on some tablets to see if they bring the pressure down they have some really bad side effects tho so I may not be around much I have to go back and see him in2 weeks so I hope they work. Hugs all round and thankyou for keeping me in your thoughts xxxx

    emo35.gifHere's a big hug Jem.

    Lets reduce the pressure first, then that may get rid of the headache. Then deal with the rest of the problem. As for the tablets, we may find that they are not as bad as the leaflet with them suggests. Some of my medication suggests they will cause me problems. But so far I am still here and I've been on them for 15 years.

    I won't say "Don't Worry" because I know that I would, any time of the year you don't want this but before Christmas...

    I will say a prayer, light a candle and think of you. And will do so again when I am at the memorial carol concert next week. Lets try and remain positive.

    Nothing too terrible Pooky, a stupid 'game' invented that involved smacking him around the face. He isn't upset, and it was dealt with by his teacher apparently (who my son did at least tell which is an improvement on all the other times), the boy is being kept in for tomorrow's play.

    Hope you can get an appointment quickly Jem, and the pills help in the meantime.

    That's what I need, I must and will complete the task. As to the lottery numbers I have won enough to avoid paying for tickets for the last two weeks and the week coming so that's something!

    Found out some of what is on over Christmas on the TV. An odd show that I may like to watch but in general disappointing so I'll be mainly listening to the radio...maybe I've changed but I can remember buying the special Radio Times and marking all that I was going to watch/listen to...How times change. Lots of repeats especially on BBC2.

    Jems ((hugs)) fingers crossed the pressure goes down x
    possession glad to hear that your son is telling the teacher now and i hope it all get sorted out.
    gailey hi!! lovely to hear about your family x
    heres bones for the poorly pooches out there.

    thank you for all the advice regarding wheelchairs, i don't think i'll go for a mobilty scooter as i think that will encourage in to go out into the cold more. Instead i phoned shopability and they were really lovely and very helpful. The lady said they charge £1.50 per hour for hire of a wheelchair. Which is pretty good i think, so if OH is not working tomorrow morning i'll phone up in the morning and see if we can hire one.

    Were on a very strict, tight budget but i think we can stretch to a cup of coffee each :). Think we both need it though as we've both been so stressed with everything.

    Saying that instead of watching nice things all i've done is watch zombie films. Ended up in tears watching the walking dead:o.
