November 1st
Jay-Jay on the roof again, Molly and Cory-James here as well. Jay-Jay said there was not a lot more now to do. The scaffolding will come down on Thursday.
Lots of fireworks going off on the common Paul, Jay-Jay, Molly and Cory-James plus Tommy-Lee and Kira are going to the Sincil Bank display at the Football club stadium tomorrow. I do not go as its a bit loud for me and the flashes are not good for causing seizures, plus a lot of people which creates a lot of noise. Andrew and I will go to the bridge down the cobbles where we went last year. Its just at the end of the street very close to stadium. Luna and I go down it every day to get to the common. Last year there were a lot of people there getting a free show.
2nd
Fireworks were very good, louder I think than last year. Andrew and I went to the bridge but there was only my friend Debbie there. Not too cold and not raining either. The display was very loud and towards the end got too loud for me. I stuck my fingers in my ears, the flashes were very bright I had to shut my eyes and hold on to the bridge rail. Still worth going to see and all free. Soon after they were all back from the paid show at the stadium and said it was very good. Cory loved it. He had on ear protectors as this is the first time he has bean as still only two, three on May 16th. Everyone went home and left me in peace bit more knitting then television for a while till bed around three.
3rd
Molly and Cory here, Jay-Jay on the roof with Tommy-Lee last few days boys. I have sorted out what the payment for the boys is and they were well pleased with the amount.
Moly was looking at my cabbage patch dolls that I have had for ages they are worth more than I thought they would be. She spent ages on the internet looking. I might sell them or keep them not sure but mostly leaning towards selling. They are just sat in the spare bedroom where they have bean since I got them. I know I did not pay much for them. Thank you Molly.
4th
Last but one day on the roof, the boys are doing the last bits tidying up and getting everything off the roof and scaffolding ready for Thursday. Tommy-Lee girlfriend Kira, here as well. She played a lot with Cory. Gave me a bit of a rest.
5th
Last day on the roof the Jay-Jay on his own up there. Tidying up the around the ladders and putting things away. Paul got chips for us all for dinner, but they were not the best, very dry tasteless. Cory had fish cake but did not really eat much I had a bit it tasted funny. I gave Luna a tiny bit, she was sick later. I know my stomach was not good. I threw the rest to the birds at the bottom of the garden. There is what used to be a car park for the garage but now its a old people's home.
Well roof done- thank you very much boys, a good job done. All so to Paul for his input. This roof should out last us now and make the house sound.
Working and just about done
Lindsay my Daughter and Granddaughter plus Tracy a friend are going to the O2 in London to see Benson Boom, Pop singer.Tracy is driving there and back. She is used to this as her parents live just outside London. This where they will be staying after the show returning tomorrow. Hope they all enjoy it.
6th
Scaffolding down now I swept up be for I went on the common. Paul out so I had to wait for the scaffold men to finish. I then swept up and went on the common with Luna. I did not get to Pilates this week again. Hopefully next week I will but its my friends Birthday.
Not feeling the best shooting pains in my head I am used to it being the left side as this happens a lot. This was the right side so a bit different. With RSD you never know what's going to change or happen day to day. There has bean a lot going on here so that does not help much. I just need to give the house a good clean now as the dust and muck from the roof seems to have got in every where.
7th
Cleaning up and wiping down just about every surface , took most of the day.
Later Jay-Jay, Molly and Cory-James called in they had bean in town. Jay-Jay had bean spending some of his money, wages from the roof. He bought him self things and present for Molly and Cory-James. They stayed a little while then headed for home.
Very tired and in a lot of pain today. lack of sleep does not help. I have INSOMEIA so I do not get many hours asleep. Worst four hours best, six hours. Mostly it's round about five hours a night, a lot of people comment I do not know how you do it? It's not like I have a choice though.
8th
Finished off the cleaning and vacuumed all the down stairs again. That's it all done now.
Put all the food shopping away as usual after Paul brought it home. Bit more knitting in the afternoon.
Lindsay, Jamie-Lee and Tracy enjoyed Benson Boon concert.
Chinese for tea as usual, I did not think the meal was as good as it usually is. Andrew said the same- stuff was not as hot as be for and the salt and pepper chips were not as they should be, just warm and just a few bits of peppers and onions. The curry we had was good.
9th
Bit cloudy today, rain to come later pm. I changed all the bedding and washed it all. Blowing nicely on the line sun out now and again.
Good walk on the common with Luna. She saw some of her friends and another new one called Arlo. She seemed to like very much, he was not bothered at all just wanted to run around.
I sewed up the cardigan I am making just the button band to do then finished.
10th
Meal out with Paul,Jay-Jay, Molly, Cory-James, Tommy-Lee and Kira a thank you to the boys for the work on the roof. The girls did not help but Molly brought Jay-Jay here most days. Kira was here too playing with Cory-James. So that helped in a different way. A playmate for him. I feel quite drained today pain most places.
The meal was good I had steak and chips which was very nice and I managed to cut my steak, sometimes I have to have help. Not too noisy either good all round pleased I went. Paul gave Andrew money to get a Taco Bell which he enjoys very much.
11th
Cleaning up again, not like the last time (7th) which took ages just a average clean. This still took a long time and I did not finish till four thirty. I think all the grit from the kitchen floor has gone now as it feels smooth. It has bean washed a lot so should be good now.
Paul warmed up his Chinese so I did not need to cook tea. I had soup and bread that was enough for me.
Very cold white legs and spasms from my knees down very painful. I get this a lot partly the RSD partly the RAINARDS..I get a lot of spasms in my legs during the night which wake me up a lot. I wear socks and most night take QUININE which helps a lot. My legs are fine when walking or dare I say it running. Sat they just feel very cold and look like they are dead.
12th
Wet to start with but we managed to dodge the rain for mine and Luna's walk on the common. We saw Debbie with Monty dog and later with Bella dog. We walked around together and chatted as we went along. Nice some day to have a friend to walk with, a human one that is.
Doing this blog on the laptop as well today trying to keep up with it so I do not have to do it all at once.
16th
Cleaned up down stairs today. Talk of a frost tonight so Andrew and I covered up what plants we could.
I have started a toy for Cory-James but need some different colours when I next go into town from the wool lady.
17th
Sewing on a button bands (my friend cardigan) it took three attempts to get it right. I usually I pick up the stitches but this was a knit first then sew on pattern. I did try to do it picking up the stitches but was not sure how many to do. Got it done in the end and it looks good.
18th
Went to see my friends Lyn and Mo, who I have know since Wayne was born- 1979. We met in the hospital and have kept in touch ever since. I had a really good time there just chatting and catching up. It was Lyn's Birthday last week 13th. She loved the present I got her "Oil of Olay"gift set. She said how did you know I used it ? I said last year you mentioned it that you used it now and I thought next year I will get her that. I have used it myself since I was around fifteen- my Mum used it for the last few years she was here also.
20th
Frost and a bit of snow while Luna and I were on the common. Did not settle at all which was a shame, as I like snow..
I have a headache today and a sore throat going to take ECHINACEA as this helps me. Stop it from getting a hold.
22nd
Got very wet on the common, weather said rain after ten pm, it lied, Luna and I got soaked. On the common around nine. No more rain till the afternoon either. Never mind Luna had fun with her ball and running around. She did not care weather it was raining or not. She never does, so long as she is with me and running around in her favorite place, the common she is happy.
Ironing today bit of a clean up and tidy as well as well. I feel very tired today still headache, and sore throat.
23rd
Paul and I went out today and did a bit of shopping for home goods, towels, bin for kitchen little mat for Luna dish, that can be washed in the machine. Wanted mats for kitchen and back door but what we saw was not really right.
25th
Quite a busy day cleaning up and a bit of knitting too, making some mitts for a present. Paul has a cold, and I think Andrew is getting it too.
28th
Finished of the mitts I was making now just the ones for me to which I put on hold till I did some of the other things. I will put some pictures on when all done. As most Christmas presents so will be after then.
29th
Very wet start to the day. Luna and I saw some friends on the common, Mary and Rory dog, we have not seen them for ages both well. Rory was walking from his house to the common and back, not in the pushchair as usual. Mary said he has improved a lot. Still at times her Daughter will give her a lift to the common and back on not so good days. Rory has hip problems.
30th
