Its been a while eh....

2 minute read time.

Well through a mixture of things,including not being able to access the site,my house getting upgraded and me working and sleeping loads ive not had time for an update so here goes.....I am no longer working in the launderette as of Monday,i was finding it far too hard on myself and my family,the days i was working i couldnt cook dinner i was soooo tired and i wasnt looking after myself properly,i know the extra money came in handy as billy is still not working but whats the point if it was killing me. My house is all lovely now with new bathroon,heating,kitchen ect and i felt like it was a huge xmas pressie to me,just the decorating to do now but with us being home all day we should manage slowely but surely. Daniel (18 year old son) now has a job in a pizza place in the kitchen and seems to love it,strange i know but as long as he is working,Katie and Logan are both good and dont seem to mind that i wont be working any more. I have my first appointment on Tuesday for CBT for my panic attacks which although they are less frequent they feel 100 times worse when i do have them now,amnt i strange! Still havent heard anything from DLA but my doctor and my mum both wrote to them suppporting me,so fingers crossed. I have a kidney check up in Feb so hoping thats ok and meant to have a cancer check up about then too but no appointment as yet.I have a pain that continues on my right side (above scars) that travells through from the back to the front and sometimes stops me in my tracks its so bad so i would like that checked out when i next see someone as the threat of more cancer is never far away.

We had a lovely Christmas and i was even cook for the family which was nice and my mum made a speach about how proud she was of me and how after my depression spell she didnt think in a million years id be capable of that,New Year was quiet but i wanted it that way to keep an eye on my rather lively 14 year old but thankfully all went well.Logan having a sleep over tonight with 2 friends as he is 11 on Monday so off to asda soon to stock up on pizza and chicken nuggets! What fun. Hope everyone else is ticking over nicely and ill report back soon

    How lovely Leigh, a home makeover. That's what I did in the months following surgery, not me personally of course, but got men in to do various jobs for me. When I was working full time I never seemed to have the time to sort it out. Arranging everything gave me something to focus on post surgery and I gained an enormous amount of satisfaction seeing everything fall into place.

    How nice that your mum said such lovely words, it must have brought a lump to your throat. My mum has gone back home to South Wales today, so we are back to normal in the Jones household. Just hope I can cope with the housework etc but I am looking forward to resuming normal service again.
