Its been a while....
Its been a while since i last posted, so figured it was time for an update.......
Lots has been going on, we have been busy bees, i have finally got a meeting at the high school sorted to see what help is available for my 12yr old son, i am hoping they will actually get round to starting his Educational Statement of Special Needs, which in truth should have been done years ago, but what should happen and what does happen can be two very different things. I am hoping that Autism support will be called in and a meeting of various peoples(psychologists, support workers and the such like) will follow, hopefully something will be put in place soon, preferably before he gets expelled for bad behaviour and being oppositional towards the teachers authority. His pediatrician seems to think if he's not coping then he may need a new placement, but i am hoping things will sort themselves out. He is an intelligent child, as are all aspergers children, who can do all the work he is set, but chooses not to and refuses not to on a regular basis. So now all but two of his targets are behind, which is causing concern.
On the weight front, i've not managed to lose what i wanted so far, but i have lost some, partly due to my knee injury and not being to exercise and partly because i still eat copious amounts of crap, but i have managed to stay on track the last few days so hopefully i will stay on track and lose some more. i doubt i will lose the 3 stone by May as originally intended but hopefully 2. we will see.
I bought my Hammerfall tickets today.....I am SOOOOOO excited......i can't wait, we won't be able to drink as we are having to drive 135 miles to see them at Nottingham, a 2 1/2 hour drive each way, but it will be so worth it!!! We could have gone to London, its the same distance, but we would have to catch 3 trains to get to the venue and to get back on the last train to Norwich we would most probably have to leave early and miss some of the show.....so either way we can't win and have it all. It does annoy me that we don't get more bands in the east of England. Don't get me wrong we do get them, we have had W.A.S.P, Motorhead, Saxon, Megadeth, Him, Trivium, Stone Gods, Airbourne, The Almighty, Queensryche to name a few, but the majority of bands do seem to go up the center of the UK, and we end up having to travel ludicrous mileage to see them.
At last there seems to be some reprieve from the snow and ice, but i think we will be getting more....this has definitely been one of the worst winters in few years and i won't be sorry to see it go.
Its lunch time so i better go, the masses are pestering me for food, most probably do another update later.......
Have fun,
catch ya laters...

Bored!
I am currently sitting here being a bit bored, watching some Megadeth videos.....done some housework, shopping, a few other bits and pieces....was hoping to get on with serious exercise this week, but as it turns out when i fell over on the ice last week, i have pulled the tendons in my knee when i fell on it.....i am supposed to rest it a bit so it can heal. Should start feeling better in a couple of weeks according to the doctor. Oh joy. At least i am taking something stronger than ibruprofen to ease the pain and swelling.
What do people teach the kids of today? Why can't they bring them up properly? Last night we ended up calling the police because a couple of twats decided to put paint on everyones car down our side of the street......honestly, have they nothing better to do than cause problems for everyone else? I should imagine the parents won't do anything if they get caught anyway. Its just so annoying, why does nobody have any respect anymore? whats wrong with that, and manners, at least i can say that i know where my children are, i know they aren't getting up to no good. They don't drink, smoke, hang around being a nuisance or take drugs, and for that i am grateful.
Apart from that not much else has gone on this week...... my house is warmer since having the windows done, i changed my hair colour to red, but thats about it really, fairly uneventful.
Till next time,
Love to you and yours,

Brrrrr.......fucking cold!!
Its still REALLY cold, currently 1c (it certainly feels it) and we still have ice and snow everywhere, so i am sitting huddled in my kitchen with my man and youngest daughter with the cooker on trying to stay warm while my windows are being replaced for shiny new double glazing. I wish they would hurry up, i am frozen despite sitting here in a coat. I suppose it will be worth it in the end.
I actually got on the wii fit yesterday and weighed myself, thought it was trying to excert some kind of sense of humour when it told me i was 99.5 kilos(15 1/2 stone) but no, i am truly a heavy lump! As if i wasn't aware of the fact it turned my mii into a snowman shape whilst telling me i am obese in big red letters.....thanks, like i really needed that. So glad the kids weren't about to see it, or i would have had hoots of laughter and a variety of comments! so i did some exersize and started my diet, but as it was his last night of his holiday we decided to have a drink, which turned into 2 bottles of wine and whisky and coke whilst munching my way through a whole, yes whole, box of boirsin garlic soft cheese on crackers, crips and 1/2 box mint thins. I don't think i dare get on the wii fit today......we will see later.
Not much else has happened, life trundles on , but at least we are back to normal , although i think we are going to get more snow........yay, not. Nice to look at, not nice to be out in. I really wouldn't survive if i lived somewhere like scandinavia.....i wonder if more snow will bring more disruption? i hope not.
Till next time, don't do anything i wouldn't, and if you do, don't get caught doing it :)
