Wednesday 11th – Tuesday 17th
Well was away in London for this period,
Wednesday
Hest Bank kennels arrived around 11am to take Fido for a week and then we left around 12pm for thr train to London and arrived mid afternoon, booked into the Hostel and took cases upto room and then went to look round shops etc, got Tube to city centre but on way I went flying on the tube hurt my self and Dean fought it was funny I do now but was more embrassed than anything.
So it was 11th Nov we went to White Hall to the Cenotaph to pay our respects and see the poppies that had been layed for the Soilders who have lost there lives for us in wars, while walking around and making our way to Trafalgar Square, I felt something loose and metal in my mouth so cough it out into my hand and it was my implant from my gum it had come out and I was bleeding and then onway back to room I slipped so that was 3 things in one night so best thing was to go back to room, which we did and then went to bed early as needed to be up for TV in the morning.
Thursday
Was up at 7am has needed to be at The Wright Stuff TV studio in London the studio is above a wonderful shopping centre so we was in the Live Audience and seen on TV regular through out the show which was 90 min long, from 9.15 on Channel Five daily, presented by Matthew Wright, Co-Presenter Eric Johnston and the panel for this day was Kaye Adams former Loosewomen presenter, Comedian Stephen K Amos and special Guest was Actor and film maker Nick Moran.
After that had finished I rang the Manchester hospital regarding my implant coming out they wanted me to go that friday so see consultant so told them no has was in London for a week so asked me to find a NHS dental hospital in London which I refused to do as the whole point was to go away for a week because of the operations I had in the year, so wasn’t going to ruin it, then we went shopping on Oxford Street London until later in the afternoon and then needed to be at BBC Studios in White City London to be in the audience for Harry Hill TV Burp for ITV to be aired on Saturday, we where not very happy with this part of the day, had to queue for over 2 hours outside in the cold and rain and then when we did get in we got a voucher for a free drink but it was alcholic so asked for non acholic and told it was a bottle of beer or nothing, so along with a few others we wasn’t happy as we don’t drink, in the same holding room there was many people waiting to go into the studio for Friday Night with Johnthan Ross there where treated better and where given a choice but that show is for BBC not ITV, anyway got into the studio for Harry Hill and half of the programme was pre recorded so it wasn’t as good for us sat there than what we see on TV when it’s aired.
Friday
We went to Westfields the biggest shopping centre in Europe, bought some new trainers and did a bit of shopping, went back to the room with what we had bought as took nearly all day to get round it, and when we got to the room there was around 8 Germans (2 girls 5 lads around 18 -19) they seemed ok? after this we went Christmas shopping for last few presents we needed and returned to the room and these Germans where partying and we didn’t mind but it was getting into the early hours and they where getting noiser, we never said anything but it was hard not to, I don’t have anything against Germans I have a few relations who are German.
Saturday
We got up early as was woken by the Germans being noisey again, so has we where up we went sight seeing and also went to book tickets for Priscilla Queen of the Desert for Monday the tickets should have been £65 each but with disabled consessions we got 2 tickets for £51 and they where in Stalls and not far from the main stage.
Sunday
Had another noisey night with the Germans but not as bad, today we went to London TV studios for the Krypton Factor presented by Ben Shepherd but it was another long wait again for 3 hours then nearly 2 hours in the Studio, lucky for us it was sunny and a nice day so didn’t matter too much but was still boring waiting around.
The night was the worst night ever the Germans where rude, dis-respectful and noisey but this time Dean told them to shut up and after around 1 hour they left the room and went somewhere else thank god.
Monday
Last full day before we return home,the Germans left early to return home so we knew we would have a good sleep tonight. so today we just shopped and sight seeing had an early tea tonight, then got ready to set off for the Palace Theater for Priscilla Queen of the Desert.
We arrived at the theater early but doors where open so was ok, and it started Jason Donovan was brilliant as Tick – Mitzi, Oliver Thornton has Adam – Felicia and Tony Sheldon as Bernadette, it was the nest show I had seen since seeing Graham Norton in La Cage Aux Folles
So at the end of the show Jason made a speech about the week raising money for Children In Need and they would be preforming at it on Friday 20th Nov BBC 1 from 7pm.
Tuesday
Up early and booked out and set off home enjoyed the week but so glad to be on my way home, got back around 4pm and then after Amanda Busby who had been looking after the house left we had tea and had an early night and slept great.
Wednesday
Well back to normal, Dean went to do his volunteer work at the NCBI office and I waited for Fido to be returned to us and he came back around 11.30am and was mad running round etc think he was very happy to be back home.
Went shopping today with Amanda B, as yet again I am at Hospital in Manchester tomorrow regarding my mouth, Dean staying home this time so Amanda is coming with me and we will go Christmas shopping while there.
So I hope you enjoyed reading my blog about my break in London and will blog tomorrow hopefully after getting home from Manchester.

Thursday
Was up bright and early today to go Manchester, Amanda Busby came about 9am and then we went to train station arrived Manchester around 11.30 after having to change trains due to bad weather in the night and flooding around Windermere where the train came from click here for news on flooding.
So in Manchester very cold and windy but no rain so quite lucky went round shops as Amanda wanted Christmas shopping, had lunch and then made way to the Hospital.
Arrived at the Hospital for what I thought was a review , impressions to be taken for my new teeth and to re-book me in for another apointment to have my implant put back into my gum after it came out while away in London, however the Consultant Mr Ashley had other ideas, so he did the re-implant gave me local anaesthitic and cut my gum open and put it back in and it was so painful after, was in the hospital around 2 hours then left for train home, in pain very tired and un-happy that I had to yet again undergo another operation.
Got to train station on Oxford Road in Manchester and thought it would stright forward to get home, how wrong, the train was delayed and had to go via Wigan because of the rain and it was packed like sardines, needless to say what should of been a 1 hour journey turned into 3 hour journey to get from Manchester to Morecambe, got home around 8.30pm so was out nearly 12 hours, got in took my medication and went straight to bed to sleep.
Friday
Had a crap night sleep and was up early again to get Dean an apointment for the Doctors regarding his head aches which he is still having, so he got in for 1st thing and had his medication doubled and needs to go back in 1 month.
Went to town after with Amanda and got Christmas paper and cards and then just relaxed all day and watched Children in Need on BBC1 aswell as keeping an eye on Fido has he got a cold I think, if no better on Monday we going to take him to the Vets.

Sunday
Well feeling a bit down today I have a thought for the day “ If someone thinks bad of you for any reason, Don’t let it get you down because they won’t be down while they are thinking it.
Be who you want to be for your self and not what others want you to be, It’s your life live it your way as life is too short and it’s not a rehearsel, because when you go through stuff and then you step back from it you realize that if you let it get you down it will and does control your life,
Last week made me realize that even when you go away your still have the same stuff going on and I know it was only an implant coming out but if that had happend while asleep the out look would have been different with the metal screw and blood could have choke but you don’t realize that at the time.
So it’s time to forget what people think of you and enjoy your life and live it has it was your last night because 1 day it will be.
My consultant said he wished all patients where like me after all this I am still smiling I do in public but behind closed doors I don’t and he said I always make good of a bad situation.
He is right about the “bad situation” that is because there are people out there worse off than me.
So on that it’s time to say Night
