Well went shopping today for a few bits before the New Year of 2010 and how I am looking forward to it too, and you know after all these years some people still find it hard to accept me, but you know years or months I have just let it go and still became part of the circle if you get me, so now I am not bothered accept me or not it’s up to them because I am not going out of my way anymore to try and fit in. I have my Partner Dean who is my lover, best friends, soul mate, confidont, my little Fido and some bloody brilliant friends who have been there for years and been there when I have needed them and that is all that matters to me now.
Off to bed now.

4 days till Christmas day
Well 1st day of Christmas Week, this week will officially be the worst and stressful week for lots of people trying to get last minute gifts.
Well up early as had to travel from Morecambe to Manchester and back again for a hospital appointment, my friend Emma C was driving and I did feel sorry for her as on the way the snow was bad and the motorway was bad with this., it took around 2 and half hours to get to Manchester.
We arrived ok and going to get the ticket for the car Dean went flat on his ass couldn’t help but laugh sorry babe love you loads.
I had to go to the new Royal Manchester Children’s Hospital and I will be honest I felt un-comfortable being 37 years old and sat in a childrens hospital but will have to get used to it because that where the Cleft Palate and Lip Unit is now.
Well they said at the hospital I was OK but slightly concerned that my left side of my cleft may be opening up AGAIN but I say if it is then tough I am NOT going through any more operations on my Cleft unless its really necessary to have it done.
Now resting up as got another busy day tomorrow with Dean.

Tuesday
Another day nearer to to Christmas, today is Tuesday and woke up to the snow even though we seen it last night. 
Well today we went to the Cemetery to put Christmas flowers on my mum’s grave and because of the snow it looked very nice for a cemetery, but also very slippery too, after there me and Dean continued our walk in the snow to the doctors for Deans appointment and then back home which was a nightmare as it was later in the day and the temp had dropped and every where had started to ice over, and trying to walk up and down hills not good….
Now chilling ready for tomorrow’s Royal Lancaster Infirmary visit so not looking for to that, I am having a Urodynamic Test, where they stick tubes up inside your penis into your bladder.
So will say Night and hope it’s not as bad with the snow tomorrow.

Wednesday
Well was up early today because has you know I was at The Royal Lancaster Infirmary for my Urodynamic Test and I wouldn’t wish it on anyone laying on a trolley bed showing all my bottom half with 2 females (they where very nice but would have pervered males for obvious reason) stood there is bad enough, but then have 2 tubes stuck trough your Japs Eye of my Penis direct into my bladder (this called a japs eye due to the similarity between the shape of the stereotypical eye and that the opening on the penis is much like a slit) and then another tube up my back passage to my bowel, and then having water pumped direct into my bladder I tell you it was so uncomfortable and stinging alot this was due to the anesthetic injected into my penis before hand.
After the test they said it will hurt for a few days and will be hard to wee, well yeah I would have thought that and to drink plenty of fluids to prevent infection.
Anyway went shopping after for last bits for the big day which is only 2 days off, today is the last offical working day as tomorrow there is lots of places on half day work.
I will blog tomorrow which is Christmas Eve and then will be after Boxing day has spending time with my lovely partner Dean and dear friends.

Monday
Well this is the final full week before Christmas and New Year, so come Friday some people will be glad has Work finishes and School ends until Jan 2010.
But Spare a thought for those who aren’t so lucky to be off over Christmas and also the Army lads and lasses who are serving in Iraq – Afganistan
Also just a thought that over the X Factor final weekend ITV earned quote from the Times online “ Cowell also co-produces X Factor and Britain’s Got Talent, shows that have saved ITV. The estimated cost of a 30-second advertising slot during the weekend’s X Factor final?” now we in a credit crunch and they making over a million pound for every set of adverts.
Well today we went into town wasn’t put long has weather not too good and besides that I am not feeling to good my self my back and legs playing up AGAIN!!! becoming too much again and getting me depressed, going to try and get into see doctors next week.
Well its off to bed again dosen’t seem that long since I got up.

Still got cold so staying in the warm again today, Dean at his Charity work today till 3pm so just relaxing.
Thursday
Well not up to much again today apart from shopping with Amanda and Dean for the last bits of stuff for the year, Amanda off to London tomorrow but not sure if she will get there with the weather like it is, In Morecamber there is no snow just very bittley cold, however down south i’ts snowing quite bad.
Went to friends Sarah and Mick this evening and we had a laugh as normally we do because we are all mad together and Christmas Day going to be mad.
Was on my Twitter account this evening and with nearly everyone else on there we was tweetering away and keeping Davina Mcall company has she was stuck in snow driving home, in the end it took her 10 hours to get home from 11pm till 8.30am on a journey that would have taken only a few hours, from London to Kent
Well can I say I hope all the people down South have a safe week and weekend with the snow and hope we get some snow for Christmas Day and yes I am Dreaming of a White Christmas

Friday
Today went for a walk to get my medication and somthing for a sore throat as woke with one today, watched the last ever Paul O’grady show on Channel 4 and also a week today is Christmas Day so has you would know all the TV shows on are all Christmas specials.
Heston Blumenthal Christmas Feast on C4 this man can do wonders with food love watching him.
Far as I know Amanda got to London OK but if she gets back home in time for Christmas day well that remains to be seen with the snow.

Saturday
Well went to Lancaster and Asda with my babe Dean and friends Emma and Mickela, it was mad very busy think we sort of knew that with it being last weekend before Christmas day.
Also quick note On Monday 21st December at 9pm ITV1 please try and watch The Sun Heros of the Armed Forces Awards and show your support to the lads and lasses in the Armed Forces who won’t be home at Christmas instead will be in Iraq or Afganistan.
Been messing on my site today adding and taking stuff off so why not have a look.
Well thats enough from me today and now off to a warm bed, hope your all are warm and well.

Sunday
Well another cold and wintery day today so stay in doors, we had a nice vistit from our friend Tamara and her Daughter Isla who is so funny and makes me laugh, they came out in the cold to see us today that’s good friends for you.
This evening Dean and I have been setting up our joint site where we can blog jointly and put the stuff we do together on there, have a look here
Our other friends Sarah and Mick have been on the road home for hours, due to the snow they had taken a few hours extra from Kings Lyn to Morecambe, they home safe now, but they snow is causing so much disruption in the UK.
I can’t undertand why when it snows Britian comes to stand still, snow has been around for has long as we have so you would think we would be better prepared for it and with having all that bad snow back in Feb 2009 you would think that the Highway agency would have plans in place ready. RANT OVER !!!
So I am wondering with the snow would I be able to get to my Cleft Palate appointment tomorrow in Manchester, I hope so not been for over 18 months.
So incase I do get to be able to go Manchester I had better go bed so.

Well today went to Morrisons with Amanda B to get shopping and then went again later with Dean to get more shopping as can only manage a bit at a time.
My back and Hip is bad today too, also had a phone call from my local hospital with my admission day for my bladder problems, the date is 23rd December yes 2 days before the big day how bad is that, but she said my consultant wanted it done ASAP so if I refused the admission date I would end up being put to the bottom of the list and will have to wait longer, so I took it not happy but then like Dean said it’s out of the way and it’s done before the new year.
Just Chilling tonight watching TV with Dean now.
