Well since my hospital trip last Saturday I have been told to take it easy for a few days, so not really a lot has happened. I have been watching more dvd's than usual and also been listening to a lot more music too. One piece of semi-good news is that I have had my appointment through for my Gastroscopy (its next Thursday at 1.00pm). I am kind of glad but kind of nervous at the same time, if you know what I mean.
Had to cut down on a lot of food stuffs as didnt want to aggrevate it (if it is an ulcer...not sure).
Ok here are a few of the movies and cd;'s from this week.
Kaiser Chiefs - Employment - - A great cd and I dont think that there is a bad song on it. Some really catchy songs that are easy to sing along to including the very addictive I predict a Riot and Oh My God. All in all i would give this a 9 out of 10.
The Rasmus - Dead Letters - - Not everyone's cup of tea but I have a liking for The Rasmus and its nice to own one of their cd's. Some really heavy tracks including the popular In The Shadows, but for me the best track is The Funeral Song which is deep meaningful song with excellent lyrics and a nice melodic sound. I would give this an 8 out of 10.
Various - Pure Moods - - One of the best compilations of mood music with artists such as Jarre, Vangelis, Oldfield and Enigma. Very relaxing and calming. I would give this an 8 out of 10.
Chicane - The Best of - - Some really good dance tunes and very good guest singers including Tom Jones, Natasha Bedingfield and Bryan Adams. This cd covers everything from their early years to the present day. Well worth a listen. I would give it a 8 out of 10.
Meat Loaf - The Very Best of - - Well for any fan this is the ultimate package. It contains all the classics from Bat out of Hell to Life is a Lemon. The good thing about this compilation is it also includes a few of his less well know songs such as Is Nothing Sacred and A Kiss is a Terrible Thing to Waste. Thoroughly enjoyable and some of the songs take me back years. I would give it a 10 out of 10.
Kelly Clarkson - Stronger - - This one was more for Deb than me but after listening to it I realise what an awesome album it is. She manages to reach notes that seem impossible and the range and strength of her vocals is phenomenal. Stand out tracks include the title track Stronger and the catchy Mr Know it All. I would give this a 9 out of 10.
Now onto movies. This week we have watched Black Sheep (totally mad film but its a car crash film because you just couldnt stop watching it). I kind of liked it because of how ridiculous it was. When I saw the mutant sheep all i could think of was the Spitting Image puppets (watch it and tell me I am wrong !!!!)
Also this week we watched the new Muppets Movie and It was as good as I expected. Its a feel good film and everyone needs one of these every so often. It was good to see that they have kept all the old favourites in (Kermit, Gonzo, Fozzy, Miss Piggy, Animal etc....) and also that they had not tried to modernize the characters. It was also good to see them stick to the old Muppet Show style with Stadler and Waldorf making sarcastic comments and beaker taking the brunt of bad experiments. I thought it was a classic film that will be enjoyed by all ages. One thing left to say...........Ma-nah-Ma-nah doo doo do doo doo. LOL

Another strange week
ok so to bring you upto date.
Its been a week since my last post and upto a certain point not a lot has happened. Up until Friday night the week had been a 'normal' week consisting of a few days in, a couple of days out, walking the dog, talking with friends, surfing the net, playing xbox and watching dvd's.
We took my mum home on the 28th. She really enjoyed her holiday and now she wants to move up here so we are spending a fair amount of time looking for a flat for her.
There is a new shop opened in our town centre called Thats Entertainment and its a very erm....addictive store. They sell cd's, dvd's and games and the majority of them are what is known as 'replay' or 'second-hand'. Now they are all guaranteed and are quality items. They do have some new stock but these as you would expect are higher in price. The second hand stuff varies in price from 99p each to 6 for £5. Some of the dvd's are 3 for £5. Some are 2.99 each etc. They are actually online and if you are looking for some of the older cd's and dvd's then i would highly recommend them.
I managed to pick up the Rambo trilogy on Blu-Ray for £10 and they were new !!
Also got Run Fatboy Run on Blur-Ray for £3
Picked up a lot more from there and got some real good bargains.
Havent had the best of the weather for the last week and there has been intermittent sunshine, severely heavy rain, gale force winds and even some thunder and lightning (welcome to English summer.........lol)
ok so thats the normal stuff out of the way.
As i have mentioned in a previous post i have not been too well lately and the spates of dizziness and vomiting three times a day came to a head Friday night. Early in the evening i started to get a headache and me being me waited a couple of hours to see if it would go of its own accord. At round about the same time i also started to get a burning sensation in my chest which i again left for a couple of hours. At about 10.00pm I decided that enough was enough and took a couple of chewable Rennie for the burning. At 11.40pm my headache hadnt gone so i took a couple of soluble co-codamol. We sat down to watch Surgical Spirit and as I was sitting there the burning sensation seemed to be easing and my headache slowly fading. We went to bed at about 2.00am and I tried to lie down. On my side it was agony so i tried to sleep on my back. That was even worse. I tried to hold on for as long as possible but in the end Deb called for an ambulance for me. She had wanted to straight away but i wanted to see if it would go of its own accord. By this time i felt like my chest was on fire and that may stomach was caving in. My first though was that i had a perforated ulcer. Anyway an ambulance came and i was taken to the Victoria Hospital where i remained for 13 hours. I was x-rayed, injected, drip fed and had various tests. The good news it was not my heart. They thought it might have been Pancreatitis (but i think this has now been ruled out). I have got to go for something called a Gastroscopy but it is looking more and more likely that it is in fact an ulcer. I will keep you up to date.
I am now on medication and have to take things even more easier than before. Deb has been amazing and says no matter what it is we will get through it together. We got home yesterday at just after 3.30pm and other than returning to the hospital at 7.30 to fetch my medication we did little else. We watched a movie at about 9.30pm (eight legged freaks) and after it had finished at 11.00pm we turned in for the night as we were both worn out. I cant believe it but we actually slept for over 12 hours (tired isnt the word).

Ok strange week
Right so lets get up to date.
Friday 20th.
Big event of the day was our nephew Matthew's 5th Birthday. We went to his little dinner party (me, mum and Deb) and Sarah volunteered to watch the dog (she watched the Womens Football but said it was boring). In the evening we didnt do a lot other than chill. Jennine, Libby and Ben came up for the weekend to see Tony next door and we stood out on the decking having a talk and socialising.
Saturday 21st
Me Deb and Sarah went to fleetwood while my mum watched the dog. Had a good day out and a nice meal at a high street chip shop. Deb and Sarah managed to find a few crafting items that they were after and I found a couple of items in the charity shops. Again not a lot happened in the evening although we ended up having a couple of alcoholic beverages. Me and Sarah had a couple of Jim Beam and cokes and my mum and Deb had Snowballs.
Sunday 22nd
My mum got an invitation from my sister to go up for Sunday Dinner, so me Deb and Sarah had a nice simple dinner of chicken and chips (deb had chips and salad). In the afternoon we watched a couple of films. The Raven (which i enjoyed even though it wouldnt be everyone's cup of tea) and also the remake of Fright Night (which David Tennant definitely stole). It was a nice afternoon and we all just chilled and relaxed. Had a couple of beers in the afternoon.
Monday 23rd
Well it was quite a sad day today as Sarah went home (we miss her a lot). Me Deb and Tony took her back while mum once again watched the dog. Got to see one of our other mum's ........lol (Janet, Sarah's mum) and sorted out a pc problem while I was down there. Had a fairly strange journey down there as the Sat Nav was determined to try and take us onto the toll road. We eventually made it to our destination by a rather unorthodox route. Said our goodbye's to Sarah (Anfield here we come..........soon) and had a easier journey back home. Nothing much happened in the evening and we went bed early as we were both shattered from the travelling (7 hours drive)
Tuesday 24th
Went to Cleveleys and had a look in the charity shops. I picked up another book, deb found a few items including a halti collar (easy leader) that after trying on Jess we realised was too big.and mum got a couple of jigsaws. We had a good walk and when we got back not a lot happened for the rest of the day other than I ordered Deb an Amazon Kindle from Argos and arranged to pick it up the next day. A quiet evening after I sorted out a couple of Laptop issues for Jennine and Libbie. Me and Tony had a couple of Fireballs (alcoholic spirit that should be called 'wow that bloody burns')
Wednesday 25th.
That week flew. Today we went back to cleveleys so I could collect Deb's Kindle and Deb could swap the dog collar. Mum was bad and bought another two jigsaws (We bought her a 1000 piece muppet jigsaw.............lol). We got back back and Deb was eager to try out her new toy....lol. She is really impressed with it and spent a lot of the evening getting used to all its functions, and getting it connected to our wifi so she could download some free books.
Thursday 26th
Not much to write about here other than a doctors appointment for me that went rather strangely. For the last week I havent been feeling too good, dizziness, slurring words, jumbling words and random bouts of throwing up. I think it all started with an incident that happened the day after my birthday. Anyway the doctor said that as I had blacked out for a couple of minutes that it could have been linked to stress and he gave me this wonderful piece of advice that I will take to my grave. 'If you are going to get stressed........don't'. Yes that's what he advised, well that solved my problems......................NOT. He at least changed my painkiller prescription from nurofen to soluble co-codamol. Deb was not impressed with the appointment and says I should get a second opinion. In the evening I watched the GB v Senegal men's football and thought that we were robbed of a penalty that was so blatant it was unbelieveable. It ended 1-1. Later that evening me and Deb watched Absolutely Fabulous Olympic episode and it was as funny and mental as ever.
Friday 27th
Got up today feeling well out of it and very spaced. Mum went to town on her own and me and Deb just did our usual stuff on computers. And that dear blog brings you bang up to date................

40th Birthday
I was somewhat overwhelmed with all the birthday greetings I got from facebook and also the amount of people that asked me how my day went, so here goes.
I awoke at 8.30am, dressed and came downstairs. About ten minutes later the rest of the house (my fiancee Deb, best friend Sarah and mum) came down and joined me. We sat at the table enjoying a first cup of tea of the day and then they all disappeared and reappeared five minutes later laden with bags and cards. I opened all my cards and presents. I received.
DVD Boxset of Bourne Films
DVD boxset of Billy Connolly stand up
Only Fools and Horses Monopoly
Three T-Shirts (2 only fools and horses and a Dads army one)
Animal notebook
Beaker and Animal Plush toys (12 inch tall)
Socks x 2 pairs (Fab at 40)
Small photoframe keyring
Mug and Coaster sets x 2
Tankard and Bottle Opener Set (Only Fools and Horses)
Huge 40 Badge
After opening these and answering various phone calls I then enjoyed a nice bacon sandwich and another cup of tea. Once this was finished I was sent out of the house for a couple of hours. Tony took me upto Micks and while there I enjoyed a couple of glasses of a very nice white wine and talked about all sorts.
At about 12.45 I was driven back home to find that the street had been decorated with 40 banners andballoons. They had even put posters of me in various funny poses that had been taken over the years all over the lamp posts. I entered the house to find more banners and balloons and also that there was a party planned for me. As well as the people mentioned above there was also my sister Paula and my Brother in Law Andy, Tonys mum Janet and our other friend Sarah. I opened more cards and was given more presents including a large leather book that contained the history of Liverpool FC from 1906 to 2011, a Liverpool Beanie Hat, £20, and also a Limited Edition Dragon Cuckoo Clock that had been brought for me by most of the people there. I also had four bottles of wine given to me by Mick. As I went into the hall I was informed by Deb that my main present hadnt arrived and she proceeded to tell me what it was. She had paid for a VIP trip to anfield for me and a friend (had to be Sarah), a 3 course VIP lunch in one of the executive boxes, a tour of the stadium and trophy room and a meet with a Liverpool Legend. I was stunned into silence !!!!!!!!!!!!!
The buffet was really nice and everyone had made such an effort to make my day so special. We talked and socialized for the rest of the day and later in the afternoon Tony brought me round another present which was another DVD, the boxset of Duty Free.
I had a few drinks and as the people left in the evening it got nice and quiet and me and Sarah had a couple of Jim Beam and cokes to finish of the night. I went onto the Play website and decided to spend my £20. I bought Harpers Island and The New Statesmen Boxsets. I also went onto facebook and caught up with all my emails and messages. It was a hectic day but it was also a day I will never forget.
Today I got up at about 9.30 and after we had all sat around talking for a bit the post arrived. Here was my main present. All the details about my Anfield trip there in colour right in front of me. I had to look twice to believe it. We cant wait to go (we can go any time in the next ten months). At about midday we all went town and met up with Paula and Andy and went for a meal at a lovely town pub called The Rose and Crown. It was a really nice family meal and everything went good. After leaving there we decided to have a walk through town and I got another couple of DVD's. The excellent Hostage with Bruce Willis and the timeless Italian Job (the Michael Caine version). I waited outside the Disney shop while Deb, Sarah and my mum went to look around. When they came out I found out my mum had bought me Swedish Chef to go with the other two she had already got me. By the time we got home we were all worn out and we have been chilling for the rest of the evening

Oh The Memories
Well when I was a kid
Remember the times I hid
And didn't do as I was bid
Oh the memories
And when I was a teen
And life wasn't so supreme
But I lived as if in a dream
Oh the memories
My twenties came at me too fast
And I thought that they would always last
But I blinked and they had passed
Oh the memories
Now my thirties what a decade
All the choices that I made
My life no longer afraid
Oh the memories
Now into my forties I stare
And I see my future there
And they will take me, I know not where
I wonder what memories

Last Day.................
Well its currently 11.20am on the 17th July and i am well on my way into the last day of my thirties.
Its been overall a good decade for me. I have spent every year of it with my fiancee Deb and a lot has happened. In ten years we have moved 3 times. Firstly from Stoke to Blackpool and then twice when in Blackpool. We have gone from a two bedroom flat to a three bed semi-detached house. We also now own a dog. But still it seems like the last decade has passed by me in a blur. My condition has deteriorated somewhat but not to any severity (i can still live).
So tomorrow i leave my thirties behind me and enter a new decade. I wonder what my 40's will bring. I have plans. First and foremost I want to marry Deb. I also want to stop wasting my days and get some of my work published. I am a terrible procrastinator and this is something I wish to stop.
At the moment Deb and Sarah have nipped into our village and my mum and me are just passing time waiting for them to return. The dog is fast asleep and I decided to catch up on my blog.
The last few days haven't really heralded much. Yesterday I stayed in with the dog while everyone else went to the town center (i wasnt allowed.......lol) Last night we watched Despicable Me which i thought was a good film with a nice few bits of humour. We all sat down and watched it together and i think the others enjoyed it too.
Fetching Sarah and my mum on Saturday went surprisingly well and apart from a ten minute traffic jam there were no other problems. We set out just after 9.30am and arrived in Leicester just after 12.15 (not bad timing). On the way down we listened to some cd's. Enigma and The Prodigy (what a mixture). On the way from Leicester to Stoke we played Meat Loaf and then once my mum was in the car I played a 60's cd.........lol. We arrived in Blackpool shortly after 4.30.
Sunday was a nothing day and I spent most of the day playing PC games (i know i am a big kid). The game I am playing is called Kingdoms of Amalur and it is immense. So far I have been playing it for almost 48 hours (gameplay time) and I have half of the map left to open yet. I love RPG's. The other one I am determined to finish is called Skyrim (I am level 37 at the moment).
Well next time I write I will have aged another year so bye to my thirties !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

On the way from Leicester to Stoke we played Meat Loaf and then once my mum was in the car I played a 60's cd.........lol. We arrived in Blackpool shortly after 4.30.
Sunday was a nothing day and I spent most of the day playing PC games (i know i am a big kid). The game I am playing is called Kingdoms of Amalur and it is immense. So far I have been playing it for almost 48 hours (gameplay time) and I have half of the map left to open yet. I love RPG's. The other one I am determined to finish is called Skyrim (I am level 37 at the moment).
Well next time I write I will have aged another year so bye to my thirties !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My Friend
Such
a good friend, always there for me
A person
who I can trust with my life
Remembering
that we have known each other years
And
I know that we always will be friends
How
lucky I am to have someone who understands me
Heart
like a diamond, she is so full of loving
One
in a million a ray of sunshine in the rain
Voice
that talks to me, treats me like a brother
Each
day we speak and never run out of things to say
Life
would be boring if she was not a part of mine
Let
everyone be lucky enough to have a friend like you
