A soggy wet Monday. Went to Oxford for a bit of a wander round. Got a bit cold and wet. But did have some very nice leek and potato soup while I was there.

Today we were going out for my sisters birthday. I had an unsettled night and think I had bit of fluid build up as quite breathless at times and also not very ‘with it’ when I first woke up. Typical as I was going out and couldn’t just lay on the sofa. We went to Exciting Games in Headington. We were trapped in a room and we had to find this tiny bottle of vaccine because a disease was spreading across the world and it needed to be stopped. There were lots of drawers, shelves, even an old army jacket which had bits of information in and we had to work out the number combinations from these so that old army boxes, suitcases etc could be opened where you would find more information that you needed. We found the bottle in the end (with some help from the man I think). It was supposed to take you an hour, he said we went over by 3 minutes – so we weren’t too great at saving the world.

Then we went to a nearby pub and had some lunch. Had a good day.

Mr Gary Walker bought me some roses!

Went on a pretty unsuccessful shopping trip. 

Then we went to my sisters for a cup of tea and had to endure eating one of Hannah’s awful birthday cupcakes. Only kidding Hannah they were delicious, fudge pieces, cherry pieces or just plain butterfly cakes. Yum-meeee. Maybe she’ll make me some for my birthday …

Happy birthday big sister 🎂

Happy birthday big brother 🎂

My internal bleeding from just having a normal blood test taken



Today I decided I was going to clean our bathroom 🛁 🚿 🚽 as it had been bugging me for ages. But of course I’ve suffered for it, hands and fingers cramping 😦

Then Hannah told me they were going to Tescos, hmm should I go or not? I decided to as it is nice to get out that house. I’ve got my brothers birthday, my sisters, and Valentine’s Day coming up, so I needed cards and presents. Its MY birthday soon everyone by the way.

Now I’m very tired and fidgety

Was having a long lie in because I hadn’t got much sleep when the phone woke me. The QE hospital saying I was now back on the register. Can’t even remember what I did all day, so it can’t have been very exciting, but I know I was a bit slow and wobbly in the morning, then I bucked my ideas up a bit!

Boiler fixed. Landlady came and sorted the problem amazingly as she hasn’t got a very good track record with these things.

Bit of a quieter day thank goodness. Pottered around doing jobs. Robyn was cutting her friends hair so I went with her and had a cup of tea with the mum Lou. Was nice to get out.

Couldn’t sleep tho, had been reading the book Liver Transplantation, which some of it I found quite scary to read, so don’t know if that was playing on my mind or what. Wont be my bedtime reading again I don’t think.

Another quiet day today. Apart from had a trip to town to have my blood taken. Annette only had the choice of one arm to try tho. No way was I letting her put the needle in my right arm after my traumas the other day.

Need to be getting out during the day for the rest of this week. I’m getting restless and fed up again. Please work car …

Still feeling rough when I first woke up, but that seems to be the norm now.

Then Robyn comes stumbling down the stairs, I can see what is going to happen so I tell her to sit down on the sofa for a while. Of course she won’t so when she gets up she passes out! I think rather too much alcohol was drunk last night don’t you Robyn? 

Great start when after yesterday, all I wanted was an uneventful day.

Anyway I started to feel a bit better as the day went on. Went to Gary’s mum and dads for lunch and his daughter Emma went and his sister and her family. So that was nice. A lovely chicken and leek pie. 

Robyn texts me while I’m there to say ‘why haven’t we got any hot water’ so when I get home I try the heating and that’s not working either. Freezing, freezing, freezing. So I’ve left a message for my landlady but she hasn’t answered yet so it looks like I’ll be ringing her in the morning …
