Preparing for Battle

Was local holiday so was lazy so n so and didn't get up until 11.30am lol...Eldest was up and online after askign permission...Youngest was on PS2 and daughter was asleep so decided sod it am staying in bed...It wasn't the nicest of days as regards weather, bit overcast and windy and looked like would pour with rain at any point...Youngest was undeterred and still wanted to go down the beach to the fairground...Fortunately his carer was okies about it LOL...Think they both must have been freezing but youngest did enjoy himself...He'd like to go back when his fave mini roller coaster is open (was closed) and also on a better day so he can see a long way from top of the grampian eye (ferris wheel) ...He would like for his birthday party this year to be same as last year and have him and some friends down at the fairground LOL...Guess this year there be no girlfriend and i will limit to 4 friends to keep costs down...Last year one of his friends had broken his leg so wasn't much fun for him :o(  So maybe will do same this year so he can join in and have fun with them...The price they charge to me is a bit over the top considering it isn't that big and not a huge variety of rides plus they don't do discount for special needs or carers <humph>  Remember taking them to legoland in windsor 3 years ago and we got special pass so we could queue jump and both me and daughter got in free as carers...

Right tomorrow morning first thing phoning GP...Not sure if i will have to put on an *act* for receptionist that all depends on which one i get on the phone...Am not actually depressed or even suicidal but if that is what it takes to get to see specific GP tomorrow then i will do it <sigh> ...I know the GP won't be a problem it's getting past the receptionist that might be LOL...IF can't get to see specific GP then i will demand they get him to phone me back....I do now need to see a GP tomorrow for myself...I'll even see the useless one if i needs be...Got pain back in right side big time again and don't think it's appendix...think if it was then it would have burst by now duh!!! Once i get what i want from GP <g> then i will phone school tell them i have a referal now but i still want to have *words* with school GP...Also decided am gonna phone social work tomorrow too hehehe...Them i will have to *fake* how i am as i do believe, sadly, it is only way that i will get attention asap...Am afraid the head of disabilities team really doesn't know me well enough to realise i will NOT be fobbed off with any crap he tries to give me...Quite frankly he is rubbish, he has no idea of the disabilities of the children his team have to deal with...He's been there almost 2 years now and i have no idea where they took him from to replace previosu head of team but it certainly was NOT from a disabilities background...how stupid is that for crying out loud!!

Went to weightwatchers lost 2 n half pounds HURRAH!!! Was hoping for a wee bit more but it's a loss this week rather than a gain :o) Want to go to gym but can't because of stupid sharp stabbing pain in side...You know i always pooh pooed idea of going to gym in the past...joined this one because of the pool (it's lovely) then after a while thought hmmm better start trying to use the equipment...Strangely i have found i actually enjoy the rowing machine, treadmill is fine as long as i have my earphones in listening to music, cycling i tolerate, the rest is a no-no LOL...I was shocked to find i MISSED the workouts when i was unable to get down to do them...YIKES am becoming a gym junkie LOL...

Before i go big thanks to the man who knows for explaining how to put pics, tags etc onto journal properly :o) I will attempt later in week when have time spare...Off for some kip so am fresh and ready for tomorrows battles <G> Toodle pip xx

Cath - have they investigated that the pain could be your gall bladder? I don't know how high up it is, but if its just under your ribs, thats a possible. I had terrible problems with mine (they were going to whip it out, but it suddenly started behaving itself, and the pain only reappears if I'm stressed now, so I reckon its psychosomatic, lol) .. and the pain was horrendous. First time I got it, if it had been on the left side of my body I would have thought it was a heart attack.

Hope you manage to an appointment, anyway

Hope you manage to get an appointment today.
I didn't know you could get passes at some places for special needs, will have to look into this!!  2 and a half pounds is great!  We got an exercise bike last year, and I used it for months, but can't get motivated to do the same this year.  
Really finding your advice about J useful, thank you my dear :o)
