It's Out!

The dreaded pin removal day is now over yeah!!! He was so brave too, he did go very white and it was a good job he was laid down otherwise we would have been picking him up off the floor! So how did they remove this metal pin that has been stuck out of his toe for the last 6 weeks!

Modern technology being as it is this is what was used,

Plain old fashioned pliers! See I told him I could have done it for him at home! Well I am sorry to say I missed the actual act as I was helping him to breath! Then the nurse just threw the pin away! Can you believe that, this pin has been part of our lives for 6 long weeks and was just thrown into the bin!!!!

Oh well its over and done now, tomorrow he will be able to wear shoes and socks!

Sheffield has recovered well from the floods, as indeed has the most of the South Yorkshire area, although Doncaster is really struggling to get the water to recede. Appeals have been set up to help the people of South Yorkshire to be able to start to clean, repair and replace their properties and belongings.

An insurance company has just stated that it could take 6 months to get properties dried out and repaired at a cost of thousands of pounds.

To all those people whose houses have been flooded, who have lost their possessions my heart goes out to you. I can only imagine how they must be feeling it is so sad. And to those who have lost loved ones my thoughts and prayers are with you.

I think it would be great if 'Camelot' the lottery people were to give money to all the people who have suffered due to the flooding, to help them start to rebuild their lives, but that is in the ideal world.

Right then that's me lot, take care all.

Floods in Sheffield

these are photos from the local paper, the Sheffied Star, of the floods we are having in Sheffield. We have had more rain this month, well these last two weeks, then has ever been recorded since 1815!

I am very lucky as we live at the top of a hill, roads around us are shut due to the floods, transport is limited, last night, mon, people were stranded at work and in their cars whilst traveling home.

Part of the M1 motorway is now shut as a dam is likely to burst, 250 homes have had to be evacuated.

Music - 1979

I got me tagged by http://www.djkirkby.blogspot.com its a music tag, so here are the rules.

1. got to http://www.everyhit.com/ or http://www.popculturemadness.com
2. pick the year you turned 18
3. get nostalgic over the songs of the year
4. write something about how the songs affected you
5. pass it on to other music loving bloggers

Gloria Gaynor - I Will Survive
Members - The Sound Of The Suburbs
Meat Loaf - Bat Out Of Hell
Queen - Don't Stop Me Now
Elvis Costello & The Attractions - Oliver's Army
Pretenders - Stop Your Sobbing
Real Thing - Can You Feel The Force
Donna Summer - Heaven Knows
Cars - Just What I Needed
Bee Gees - Tragedy
Chic - I Want Your Love

So the above are a selection of hits that where out when I was 18, I have chosen the month of my birthday too!

The list was long but my god there were songs on there I had never heard, well I might have but it’s probably an age thing and I have forgot them! Funny how you don’t forget the good songs though, the classic, such as Meat Loaf and Queen!

People who I also enjoyed listening to include Elton John, Meat Loaf, Elvis and of course I have to say it before a few of you post comments CLIFF! Gosh another one here David Soul yeah I know I am going to regret that one!!!!

1979 was also the year I met my man, himself, so it was a good year for me, maybe not for him ha ha ha!!!! We used to listen to the Commodores and I remember Boomtown Rats had ‘I Don’t Like Mondays’, this was bought for me by himself, he also bought me Michael Jackson’s ‘Ben’ cause I loved that song but not the fact that is was about a RAT!

Well you know we all have a ‘song’ yes that ‘song’ the one we call ‘our tune’ well ours was ‘Bright Eyes’ from the film Watership Down, we had our first slow dance at The Trade of Jacks nightclub in Blackpool 6th April 1979! Was married the same year in Dec and no it wasn’t a shot gun wedding!

Bloody hell DJ Kirkby you have brought back a lot of memories with this tag thank you, mmm I think lol!!!

Well I won’t tag anyone but will say that those of you who love your music give it a go, you know you want to, so do it and have fun!

They've Vanished!

OK so I know I must have done something wrong but the thing is last weekend I went to Penistone Show, had a great time there was a parade with floats, old vintage cars, well a scooter, a van and a car, a jousting tournament and stands. I didn't take my camera but took lots of photos with my mobile. I blue toothed them to the PC and now they have vanished! Just like that whoosh and gone! And, and they have also vanished from me phone! How annoying is that then!

So the moral of this story is buy some bloody batteries and start taking the camera!

Well we have had a bit of rain in Sheffield, ok so I lie, we have had a lot of rain, so much that my plants in the garden are begging me to come inside, they have just had enough!

Went dog walking with me mate on Friday and we had such a great time splashing in the puddles, the dogs just walked off and left us to it!!!

Mr Milo has had some sort of allergy, his skin was red, even between his toes bless him, the vet gave him an injection that seems to have done the trick, apart from that he is fully recovered from his operation and his hair is nearly fully grown back.

Himself is now getting really fed up with lack of activity of all kinds!!!! The wound is now giving him pain, I think it is because the stitches are still in, they are dissolvable but it is now three weeks and they are still there!

Hope you all enjoyed your weekend and are all as eager as me to get back to work! Yeah right!

Just a Quickie

Just a quickie, god how many times have I heard that one!!!!

Had a good weekend, yeah I know its Thursday and I haven't told you about it, and I have some photos to prove it and you know what?! I have not downloaded them to the PC yet, just what have I been playing at this week eh!!!

So anyway they will have to wait till I have time, maybe tomorrow.

This afternoon we are off to Meadowhall or as we like to call it Meadowhell! Just going there because we can ha ha, no got a few things to do like buy the grand baby his birthday present and pay some bills, how exciting is that then!!! Plus it is raining and there is not much else you can do and keep dry, well maybe there is looking at the title, but I am put off with the metal pin in the toe thingy!!!!

Catch you all later, until then behave and stay dry!

Happy Birthday Old Man

Today is the husbands birthday Mr T he is very, very old!!!! This is what I bought him for his birthday, no not the plane, but remember the trip in the bi-plane? Well that was his birthday treat. We are going to the pictures to see Zodiac and then to the pub for tea.

2 Down 4 To Go

Hope you all had a good weekend. Took himself out on Saturday, just called at a few friends, he needed a change of scenery, mind you one friend did suggest that I just moved his chair to the other side of the room to give him a change! Having now been stuck in for nearly two weeks, and only another four weeks to go!!! Who will be climbing the walls first him or me!

Sunday I abandoned him and took me and Mr Milo off out for the day, we drove over to Bolton and met up with some friends and their dogs, had a great walk both dog and me still knackered now! At least the dog gets to sleep as much as he wants, it's just not fair!!!!

Trip to the hospital this morning, its two weeks since his operation and time for a change of dressing! Good news the stitches are dissolve able, well good news for him I was looking forward to watching the pain being inflicted!!!! Only joking!!!! And he no longer has a great big bandage on his foot, just a tiny dressing over the top of his toe, and that is only so he doesn't keep catching the pin.

Bad news, well for him again! In four weeks he goes to have the pin removed, so today I asked how they do it. "They just pull it out", WHAT with no local, "Oh yes it won't hurt, besides it will probably have worked a bit loose by then". Ouch are you going to believe that!!!!!

So I have decided to sell tickets, its £1 to view the removal of the pin and a further £1 if you want to twist it before it is removed!!! The lad is buying 50 of the second lot of tickets!!!! Me I am going to offer to pull it out!!!!

Off to see the nurse review on me HRT and believe me if I don't get another six months supply you will not want to know me!!

Saw this web site advertised in the local paper www.HowTo.tv had to go and have a look, it does just what it says, it gives you step by step instructions on How To, from sewing on a button to changeing a tyre!

Well thats all I have time for things to do people to see.
