Having other ailments that slow me down /Christmas 2016 is over

Listing my health issues

Asthma
Post traumatic Fibromyalgia
Functional Dystonia
Central sleep Apnoea
Obstructive Sleep Apnoea
chronic back pain
chronic fatigue syndrome
M.E
IBS


I have struggled for many years with M.E and it hasn't been easy as this comes with many symptoms that can fluctuate and really debilitate how I cope with day to day with  Homelife and what you may do in your own life.
Every Day
1: joint pain
2: fatigue
3: concentration
4: memory and attention problems
5: clumsiness, walking difficulties
6: Sore throat, enlarged glands
7: Headaches and continuous pain
8: Problems with being Hot and cold especially when your hot the other person maybe freezing
9: like having a bout of flu but just forever
10: Bowel problems
11: Emotional issues or typical mood swings
12: typical sleep disturbance



I have struggled with all of the above ailments along with having chronic fatigue and much of a day is spent sleeping for many hours. Lots of the time it's a real nuisance because their maybe things in the day that I would like to do.  Im often saying I wanted to read a book or watch varied tv programmes pop out and go with my husband to pick up some shopping  . Or now its Christmas time I'm running out of time for seasonal shopping for the family due to sleep antics. Also there is my blog to talk about how I'm feeling to express my views and share with my readers and followers.


more to come

Christmas 2016 is over 

Well Christmas is over and its now time for my body to catch up with itself ....Christmas has exhausted me even though I didn't do anything very much . Now my body clock has caught up a little more its been easier to rest, January  i thought would be easier but in fact its been difficult time after the loss of Angela our grandchildren other nan. Angela struggled but fought the fight well but had terminal cancer. Angela was actually given the year before as her last year but fortunately she battled and managed to live through another year. This was very sad for us all as we all thought a lot of her . our grandchildren especially were very close to her and Angela would often take them out and do all the exciting things . I was more the grandma that gave the cuddles and read stories and tried to teach the kids different things that hadn't heard of . Angela was the one with all the energy to take them to parks ect. Im always the one thats tired that has to sleep and the children say that now they are getting older. It was nice to have Christmas over as the mixture of emotions with the loss of Angela and our youngest daughter being in Australia for Christmas.



Super Rant Time 

Sponsored children in Honduras

 Also just prior to Christmas I was sponsoring children in Honduras and had been doing this for a

Long period of time. Just before Christmas they asked me for a payment before the date I would

normally pay.  So this was difficult because of the time of the month,  and the Christmas season .

 You know when you're juggling the whole Christmas scenario . Otherwise their plan was to

discontinue my sponsorships. I was absolutely broken hearted because I'm the type of person that

Wears my heart on my sleeve and hadn't seen this coming .  So unfortunately i was an emotional

 mess whilst in attendance the mayors charity  performance of Aladdin . Unless you share the same

 Compassionate ways as me you wouldn't  understand what it does to someone like me as I'm very

committed . We were attending with our grandchildren and it was supposed to be a very special time

and hoping there evening was spectacular. All through the show even though i had advised them i

would get back to them in two hours after the performance  I was being messaged and i was trying to

save the children I had . I was now down to 10 but intentionally I planned to keep 15 or more . So in

 view of my disagreement to them taking 8 children from my account i was very angry at the time but

still remained calm even though i was hurting like crazy. Also what was difficult was that i got such

lovely letters from the children and from parents  and we had a great bond.  So obviously i was very

upset and angry and wanted to keep the 10 at least. I had been in contact with some of these children

quite a long time and i hadn't contemplated this situation . My plan was to see them grow up and visit

them in the next few years.  This would be when i felt better about travelling so far from home.   I

prayed that i would get the chance visit them as some were very  emotional in there letters and

wanted the chance to meet us.  I remember one of the children said they would meet me at their

church when i came to visit. They said they would be there waiting until we arrived it made my heart

 melt. Christmas had passed and the company that run this sponsorship programme  had a new

payment system that had been set a few months before.  The final remaining 10 children that i had

been helping since the get go the organisation decided they didn't want my money. they decided it

would be best to dissolve the sponsorships . Well i thought what a great start to the year but in the

back of my mind i somehow thought they would do this so i wasn't to shocked this time

Weekend

Well the weekend has been nice and a little calmer than it’s been but it’s still unsettled as the house still needs to finished and we are into the 6 th week. Jays dad is coming over for dinner and we have our granddaughter as my daughter has gone to Alton towers and you know what there like . I never remember going places like my daughter and not having my kids with me. The kids become important and they come before me . As you may know we have 4 kids ....3 daughters and one Son . Our son is the only one that lives at home with us and the girls have there own lives. My granddaughter Evie-mae is having a great time today playing minecraft and singing Ed sheeran songs. Today the flooring chap was supposed to arrive to latex the floor ahead of this Monday. We have waited all morning and it’s now 12.15 but he hasn’t arrived yet . So all that emptying the room and moving the virgin server box has caused our internet to stop working which brought the house to a melt down. We have to wait n

Our visit this year to Szentendre our twin town

We had the good fortune with my Husband and I being Mayor and Mayoress of the town to be invited to our twin town called Szentendre. Szentendre is in Hungary and is a really beautiful and very scenic and picturesque town and has a real magic about it . It is grand in style and very majestic in style and class in every shape and form. This majestic town sits near the Danube which is surprisingly wide and just beautiful. The town has cobbled streets and tiny alleys that look like something out of a magic book. There is always something to do and it’s the city of art and has a colony of artists. 162 artists live in the town of Szentendre and when being there I could understand why . The town can look the same but different in respect of natural lighting.  There are many little places to eat and visit some great museums and galleries. Each artist is so different and there prospective of arts is so different. Some artists sit on the street and paint whilst some also do caricature drawings w

Heat and plenty of cold drinks to keep my energy and trying to arrange my sons education

Why is it when your life is following a great path and everything plateus out another spanner comes flying into the works? It’s been so hot and I will tell you what’s been going on recently which will explain my first sentence. So it’s been absolutely boiling I hope your all enjoying the sun 🌞 but personally it’s been rather hot for me to get comfortable at night hence being awake at 02.37 am . Mum has been to visit but bless her she has been unwell with vertigo so it’s been hard to see mum and dad but every piece of time is like a golden nugget as they live in Essex. The last few weeks it has been really difficult,  Our gorgeous son is taught by and independent teaching agency for the last two years. Everything they have done has brought our 16 year old son up to speed with other kids of his age . The way the week was set out was great and the best environment for Caleb to learn. We have been told that the education panel that funds our son won’t be funding him for the independent te
