The story so far...


Mayor and Katie

Well the picture is of Katie picking up her exam certificates and lots of prizes from the Mayor of Blackpool.

Other news;

Lorii now has a wheelchair. She is not confined to it but it is there for those days when the pain is too much for walking. It got it's first outing to Ikea the other day. Made Lorii do a double-take when she rolled in front of a mirror and she saw herself.

Lorii has her pre-operation assessment tomorrow, with her operation on the 10th of December. We have had a chat with the surgeon and she has put a lot of Lorii's concerns to rest. However she is still looking at a week in hospital and convalescence over Christmas.

I have built Jacob a fitted bedroom. I'm pleased with it and Jacob is chuffed too. He just needs a new carpet and he'll have the first finished room in the house!

We now have four cats! This is getting ridiculous. We now have a ginger and white tom called Lemmy/Chairman Meow and a tabby called Bob.

More news when I have the time....

I am alive!

Life has been very busy of late. So I have had no time to blog. Lorii had a further CT scan yesterday, will share results once they are in. Her wheelchair arrive yesterday too. That's a lot crap so soon after her birthday. Lorii does not need it all the time, just for trips out when the pain overtakes her and stops her walking. The kids are now officially adopted, so I can stop being nice now! };o)) Katie has a new laptop for college that is better than my computer. It even has a newer version of Mac OSX than mine. Jake met one of the Dragons from Dragons Den and won a £70 pound grant for his woodworking business. I'll do this all again properly when I have the time.
