YOU, M.E & ALL PUFFED OUT
Posted on 11:16pm Thursday 3rd December 2009
And before you ask.....no, this weeks blog isn’t about the Magic dragon that lived by the sea, or a quit smoking blog, already done that in 2002. It’s not even a blog about the big bad wolf who tried to bring the house down (Mullaleys have already attempted that lol!), No, this weeks blog is about the fact I’m suffering badly with the effects of stress, and exhaustion, all puffed out as in no breath, no petrol in the tank, running on empty and every molehill feels like a mountain...........

YOU, M.E, AND A NEVER ENDING STORY
Posted on 10:57pm Thursday 26th November 2009
And it could well be a never ending blog this week too, there’s so much to tell you that you could well be in for the long haul, so you might want to plonk the kettle next to the computer so that you can stop for a pot noodle half way through to keep your strength up . Someone very close by is just two chocolate Brazils short of a straitjacket, and that person is.......drum roll.......you. No okay it’s me but it was worth a try and what do you expect with everything that’s been going on?....................

YOU, M.E & OH WHAT A WEEK THAT WAS
Posted on 11:20pm Thursday 19th November 2009
Oh boy where do I start this week? Have you ever had one of those days where it feels as though everyones been put on the planet with the sole mission to p**s you off? Well they’re working overtime in our house and a day has turned into weeks without any sign of them packing their bags and giving me a break. Firstly I’m still in talks with BT, the upside being I’m now being dealt with by the UK technical help team, so not a sniff of an Indian call centre in ear shot , downside is I’m still spending up to an hour on the phone and they still haven’t responded to my complaint letter which they received on the 6th November. Then there’s Mullaleys, the cowboys partnered with Watford community trust...oh yes, they’re back with more of their shoddy, shambolic, shenanigans, and our house was on the receiving end.........again

YOU, M.E AND A THANKFUL OF THANKS
Posted on 11:20pm Thursday 12th November 2009
Okay, firstly I’d like to admit to being very very sad, not sad as in “Pass the Kleenex” but sad as in staying in on a Saturday night curled up on the sofa in my Jim jams, telly on, watching X-Factor. However, if I didn’t have M.E rest assured I’d be thankful to be out painting the town red, yellow and black, (Come on you Hornets or Watford football club for those tuning in unfamiliar with our team) when I say our team I don’t mean I actually play obviously...but you get the drift? So where was I? Oh yes, painting the town black, red and yellow and any other colour I could fit in my handbag. Not that I like handbags, I’m more of a shove it in ya pocket kinda girl............

YOU,M.E & RANTOMIME SEASON
Posted on 11:48pm Thursday 5th November 2009
Before we begin......let me go grab my soap box, because it’s rants galore this week. Starting with Monday afternoon, I spent over two and a half hours on the phone to BT going back and forth between the Indian call centre and the centre based here while they argued over who was and wasn’t giving me the right information, it was a case of ,OH YES IT IS .......OH NO IT ISN’T . Quite frankly I didn’t give a Jack and the beanstalk, all I wanted was for someone to speed up our computer..................

YOU,M.E, POLICE & PENSIONERS
Posted on 11:28pm Thursday 29th October 2009
Ello, ‘ello, ‘ello...... I don’t know what it is exactly, but when a police officers about I feel extremely guilty and uncomfortable, now I can only put this down to one of my past life misdemeanours because I cant think of anything I’ve done in this life to make me feel so uneasy. That’s not to say I haven’t done anything........just that I can’t remember........

YOU, M.E & DYING TO WORK
Posted on 11:21pm Thursday 22nd October 2009
Well there’s more news on the governments cut back on incapacity claimants this week. For those on incapacity benefit not tested yet, next year’s your lucky year and everyone will start being called in. When I say everyone I mean everyone, even the terminally ill......oh yes, just because you’ve only got a couple of months left to live don’t go thinking you can skive off from doing any work...........

Posted on 8:44am Friday 9th October 2009
SOME DAYS I GET SAD “N” SERIOUS, NOT OFTEN MIND, BUT ON THE ODD OCCASION IT DOES HAPPEN, AND THIS IS ONE OF THOSE OCCASIONS.............WHY? I DON’T WANT THIS TO COME ACROSS AS AN X-FACTOR SOB FACTOR MOMENT SO PUT THE KLEENEX AWAY AND I’LL TRY TO EXPLAIN..............

You, M.E & Go Jonny Go
Posted on 8:39am Friday 2nd October 2009
FOLLOWING ON FROM LAST WEEKS BLOG WHEN I SEEMED TO BE ON THE RECEIVING END OF DASTARDLY DEEDS AND DISASTROUS DOINGS AS KARMA FOR MY PAST LIFE NAUGHTINESS I’VE COME TO THE CONCLUSION THAT THERE’S SOMETHING OR SOMEONE OUT THERE WITH AN ELEPHANT SIZED BACKSIDE PUMPING OUT POO LIKE A SEMI-AUTOMATIC WHICH IS THEN HITTING A RATHER LARGE FAN SPRAYING SAID POO IN MY DIRECTION, AND NO AMOUNT OF DUCKING, DODGING OR DIVING IS STOPPING ME FROM BEING WELL AND TRULY DUNGED............SO, IN NO PARTICULAR DUNGING ORDER..............
