Hi all

Sorry not been on but a lot going on in my up side down life at the mo.

Well lost at tribunal in March was told that I have to go to work, went to sign on to be told I am not fit to go to work. So wouldn't let me sign on. So I have put in a new claim for ESA in which I am still waiting for the next form to get here. In the mean while I am living on £20 a week which is my DLA, My rent and council tax were stopped, have been to see them and they looking into it. I have my local MP looking into it all now as its getting me down. My doctor has been no help at all. And cant find another doctor near for me to go to.

In the mean time my son Duane has had his eye op so at the moment cant see very well as he is almost blind in other eye. He cant go back to work for up to 9mts as that's when his sight should be back and he can have stitches out. He is very depressed as he cant handle people doing thing for him, and he cant drive. Also his lazy girlfriend had knee op over 4mts ago and still sitting on her bum. So my so is looking after the twins 19mts and son almost 4. I am doing best I can to help but not easy as live 3 buses away.

Teri hasn't been to well and I have had to help her with Caitlin, Caitlin is almost at the stage she will get help at hospital. Having big problems with her going to school as teatcher isn't listening to what we are telling them so having ago at Caitlin all the time.

Well I will be back over weekend as going over to help Teri and Duane. So wil pop in when I can. I still look in.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~to everyone

Take care

Hello Huia and Stephen, and all friendlies who look in.
Hope things are ok with you all. Sorry I haven't posted for a while, have become a bit of a hermit, only doing what had to be done and looking after a poorly granddaughter.
Lovely sunny day here today, [and yesterday] hope it is the same where you are.
Have a good day all, take care and stay safe.
Jean xx :-) :-) :-)

It would take thick air to make me vanish, Stephen, I am no lightweight! :-( I have just been very busy, although I have looked at 'my threads' to see if anybody has added to any. I really must add in future, even if it is just to say Hi.

A man was walking on the beach one day and he found a bottle half buried in the sand.

He decided to open it. Inside was a genie.

The genie said,” I will grant you three wishes and three wishes only."

The man thought about his first wish and decided,

“I want 1 million pounds transferred to a Swiss bank account. POOF! His wish was granted

Next he wished for a Ferrari red in colour. POOF! There was the car sitting in front of him.

He asked for his final wish,........ " I wish I was irresistible to women."

POOF! .............He turned into a box of chocolates.

A Wee Chuckle for the day

A city slicker moves to the country and decides he’s going to take up farming.

He heads to the local co-op and tells the man, “Give me a hundred baby chickens.”

The co-op man complies.

A week later the man returns and says, “Give me two hundred baby chickens.”

The co-op man complies.

Again, a week later the man returns. This time he says, “Give me five-hundred baby chickens.”

“Wow! The co-op man replies “You must really be doing well!”

“Naw,” said the man with a sigh...........

“I’m either planting them too deep or too far apart!”

:-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D

After having another CT scan and more blood tests .....all revealed good.

Sent me home too early, my GP sent me back in again, said I was too poorly to be at home.

Anyway the only Meds I'm on now are Steroids to open my airways to enable me to breath better, but I am being weaned of of them daily , thank god as they make me eat too much ........so no hope for me Shelly of loosing weight

Thank for the E-Mail Stevey......nice to see you all are still thinking about me.
