Happy Birthday Murf!

Bloody hell! Sounds like you've had a very tough year Lots of hugs & good luck at your interview

Ooooh Roy Priestley! Make sure you post a picture once you've been to see him! I don't blame your OH for whining, I think I would have whined too had I been there

I'm definitely hoping to go next year! I would've gone this year but I already have my 'tattoo money' earmarked for something (hopefully) later this year

Suppose I can't complain as there are always others who are worse off than me. But right now, feel like things just keep going wrong.

Have the issues with my neighbours still going on, the problems with the Local Authority and West Midlands Police doing sweet FA about it (what they do best I think).

But on the upside my new fencing between the 2 houses is up and padlocked, and I have a new driveway so I can keep the car off the pavement. When I get a caravan though, it will sit on the drive and the car will be back out on the tarmac, where it was parked until yesterday!

I also have my new job to get on with so things are looking up financially too.

As others have mentioned them, I will too! I already have a tattoo. It's the West Mids Police force logo (without the West Midlands Police written around it) from when I was an officer. It's basically a little bird sat in a bucket of fire above a shield (for those who know what I'm talking about). I'll be getting another one as soon as I can afford it. Oscar drew me a picture and wrote underneath "With all my heart, love from Oscar". So I'm having it done exactly as he's drawn/written it.

I still have extensive problems with my legs. Having RSD in the one leg was bad enough but since having a 6 yr old last March slam into the back of both legs with his scooter, the RSD is now in the bottom half of my right leg too. It's progressive and there's no cure. It's not life threatening but so often stops me doing things.

To top it all off I woke up this morning unable to use my left arm and hand. It feels like a cross between a broken bone and a strain with shooting pains going up as far as my elbow. I am in absolutely agony with my wrist so typing this is taking ages as I'm only using one hand (PITA). I haven't had any accidents recently and because of my legs, I always sleep in only one position. So I know I haven't leaned on it during the night for any length of time. Aside from that, I'm up every couple of hours anyway and that's even with a shed load of strong drugs that would knock out someone who isn't used to them.

Other than that, life is peachy!!

Hope you had a wonderful birthday Murf.

Me? My job is sh**

My home life with my OH is sh**. He went out to watch the Utd match on Sunday and came back on Monday morning at 3.30 am just as I was running out to work. Came home at lunch time, and (as we both agreed), his shirt stunk of womens perfume!

He was that drunk, he cannot remember anything !!! (Yeah).

Don't know what to do...........???????

Thanks again ...

Today i am mostly yawning in a over the top manner...

I wish the weather would settle...

You are not the only one Murf. Am thinking about asking my old man to start building an ark! We live very high so have a bit of time...

Leave him!
Sorry!
