Stopping Smoking..... Any Ideas!

So here's 2006. We've taken the dec's down, and are in the process of stripping the home from bottom to top, cleaning, bleaching, the usual. So 2006 resolutions are 1- Not to get stressed at work 2- To stop smoking 3- To run the Manchester 10k in May and the Glasgow 1/2 Marathon in September. The second one starts tomorrow, on my return to work. Then we can start training for the Manchester run.

A trip to A&E

I spent 2 hours in A&E this morning. I woke up and had real problems breathing, plus I had a pain in left arm. As a result, the other ex decided that he'd had enough and took me to Derriford Hospital. I felt a bit of a fraud- but I had an ECG (all fine) but the chest infection has got worse overnight. The docs have now doubled my antibiotics and given me some strong painkillers, and thankfully they seem to be working, but it's early doors. Work have been good- told me to come back when I'm

Frosty Accidents And The Damned Dangerous........

Sums up my day. There was a bad accident last night on the Woodhead Pass and one this morning on the Snake Pass. You could see all the flashing blue lights from tescos car park at 630 this morning. I decided to take it really slowly on the back roads, but of course some plank decided that 30 mph on an icy road wasn't fast enough. So he over took me. Plonker I thought (you know the real word I thought). Get around the next corner only to find the Vauxhall Vectra half in the wall, half on the ro

Lovely Day - Rotten Ending (could Swear But Won't)

OK so day splits into 2 Normal daytime, got the ceiling decs up (via Jeremy Kyle and Trisha). Helped Darren's mother (my mother in law) sorted a loft of winter clothing out and charity shop stuff out. And then had chinese take away. Till 1 hr ago. And Kieron came over. Our mate Dave over the road has been burgled. Badly. So a lovely day has ended with a mate in pain. In his words he "feels like he's been raped". That not words. His. Poor Dave has lost TV, DVD, Camera, Pixil Camera, his

Facebook

Facebook. Odd beast. Yes you can be become friends with people you know very well and love, but equally out of the blue, someone clicks on your profile and asks to be your friend. Nothing unusual, until you realise that this person generally made your life unhappy via bullying some 15 plus years ago. OK they may have changed as we get older, but do you accept them as friends???? Bit of an odd one that.......

Review Of The Year 2008

Well as I'm transferring the Calendar dates onto the new 2009 one, lets have a review of 2008. Not a bad year overall. There have been some good and bad points. Good Points. 1) Changing jobs to be Civil Enforcement Officer. Yes its not good when cold and wet, but pay is the same as the old office job which stressed me out and I do love the work! 2) Holiday in New Forest (first week of May). Little did we know, that was as good as the weather was going to get. 23c in New Milton and gett

Genuine Sickyness

Was in work yesterday- having been off sick with a cold last Tuesday, when at lunchtime I went into the toilet and promply threw up solidly for 5 minutes. Came home from work, and threw up all afternoon and then it started from another area. Therefore, I am in bed as a type this. So thats my sickness record out of the window, but no way am I going to work like this.

Update

Well it's been a long time since I updated so here goes. All been very quiet, love my new job as a Civil Enforcement Officer- the rota takes some getting used to, but nearly 3 months in, I think I can remember it by now! Off to Germany on Saturday to see the Christmas Markets - of course I have developed a stinking cold yesterday so lovely Tescos have sold me some cold treatments. Time for North West Tonight to see the snow- nothing here!

A new direction?

Well followers of my blog will know the stress of my worklife. So finally....... Having been stressed out, team stuff (most of which I hate), I was referred to Occ Health at work.And hopefully this means I will become a CEO (in old terms a Traffic Warden again). I can't wait. Seriously. No more team giving me grief- just life on street. Life can be odd, but I'm going back to life 4 yrs ago. And I cannot wait.

Sickyness

Knee really bad- back to work today after 2 days off. Not good. Plus an operation to come. I'm scared. Really scared :lol: The last time I had an operation, I spent 10 days in ICU on life support. The thought of an operation is really freaking me out now. I'm going to go to councilling about it to try and help me out.

Saturday nights from then till now

After the funeral yesterday and about 3 hours sleep last night and 6 hours the night before, I'm tired today. I'm having a glass of wine and a Nytol. :lol: Blimey what happened to Sat nights out drinking till 3am?? It's called life and helping friends out. And it beats clubbing by thousands to one. Everytime.

Knackered Knee

I was told last week on top of stress from work, that I need an op on my knee. My cartilidge is gone in my left knee. Now this set off several problems for me. The last time I had an op in 2000, I spent 10 days in ICU on life support from a mistake from a surgeon who cut through an artery when my appendix had to come out. So I had 2 op's in 5 hours. Next problem- this has left me scared stiff of hospitals. Big style. So, muggings here, was think until today, take 3 Ibropuben each night for

Nasty week followed by lovely Easter

Happy Easter all! Firstly- I'll start by saying, that I have slipped off the bandwagon regarding smoking. But I have plans to stop from tomorrow. Last week at work was frankly awful. If you look at my blog entries from last February, the same situation occured again, which led to my boss and my bosses boss coming down on my side as my work team decided to play silly beggers , resulting in a very embarrasing moment for a trainer from the British Parking Association. So I got very stressed and ang

No smoking versus Oreo Biscuits

I've lost count but still no ciggies! Going ok- hard day at work today- with damn staff playing up, but had a meeting with my boss and took my Nicorette Inhalator into the meeting and pretended to flick fag ash into my cup of hot tea Oh and my training for my 10k didn't happen tonight. Instead I rediscovered my long lost love. Finally after 7 years (and having had them in the USA) I discoverd Asda are selling Oreo biscuits. Trust me in the biscuit world they are god like :lol: .

Lost count it's day 10!
