Hello ,
Glad you all survived the Rapture/Domesday/Armageddon, I wasn't really prepared for it, so maybe next time I will be.
Lots has been happening in the news. A wrestling Legend dies, and a footballer messes up his private life. But not going to talk about that.
Having leukaemia, I've had a lot of time on my hands, and I've been doing a lot of thinking.
Firstly money has been worrying me, or lack of it. I've applied for some benefits, but I've never claimed anything before and I can't get over how much hassle it is. I've applied for one benefit, sent all my hospital diagnosis letters off, to find out that the letters arnt good enough and I need a medical certificate from my GP. Having now got this certificate and sent it off, I now have to wait to see if I get it !
Another thing is we are desperate for a holiday. So I'm booking a cottage in the Lake District for a week in October. I don't really care what the weathers like because it's not home and we can unwind.
Also I've decided to buy a season ticket for Huddersfield town football club. Yes it's going to be a lot of money, but the brats can get free season tickets through school. So that's the excuse I'm going with (spending time with the boys).
I seem to have lost my Twitter mojo too with all this Cancer crap going on. I've lost touch with a couple of my oldest tweeters and seem to of upset a couple of them. For this I'm very sorry and will try and put things right.
Last but not least. I've been thinking about my health in general. Also I'm thinking about repaying all the help I've received from Kirkwood Hospice. I'm not a runner, so let's get that straight, but I did do a lot of bike riding.
So I've been on the old interweb and found an organisation that do charity bike rides. I've done a lot of thinking about this and decided to do one with them next year (2012). I need to raise a bit of money and need a bike, but that's the plan.
So there you have it, oh hang on didn't say it was from John O'groats to Lands End !
This is something I really want to do and try and split the sponsor money between Kirkwood and Leukaemia research. So I hope that when the time is right, I can count on a few of you for help.
Anyway that's it. Thanks for reading !
Offski.
I was sat in a wine bar, enjoying my own company. I took a sip of my drink and looked over to the other end of the bar. I saw a stunning brunette looking back at me.
She was wearing a Wonder Woman costume, with lots of flesh on show. We looked each other up and down, and both gave a knowing smile. I noticed she was drinking Budweiser like me, so I called the barman over. "Same again for me, and another for the pretty lady over there."
He said, "That's a mirror, you pisshead, and the rest of the stag do left an hour ago."
A famous Football Player is providing funding to build Travelodge, Holiday Inn, Premier Inn, Hilton & NOVOTEL Hotels on a busy crossroads in Manchester.
Apparently it's going to be a Super Inn Junction.
In the maternity wigwam, there were 3 squaws in labour.
The one on the left was lying on a horse skin, the one in the right was lying on a buffalo skin and the one in the middle was lying on a hippo skin.
The one on the hippo skin gave birth to twins, the other two gave birth to single babies.
This goes to prove that the squaw on the hippopotamus is equal to the sum of the squaws on the two adjacent hides.

Hello !
Yes I'm still alive ..... Just.
It must be catch up time surely ?
So last Wednesday I had my 2nd lump of Nuclear waste put into this temple of a body that's now a friggin ruin. I got there for 10am and was told to go to room 1. I sat on a sofa and was plugged in to my drip, all was going well until this old miserable bag came and sat next to me and didn't stop moaning till 3pm when, still feeling good I finished and got the bus home.
The rest of that day and Thursday went without much problem. Friday came and I could feel the chemo creeping up on me. How do you know I here you ask ?!? Well .....
1. Feeling tired
2. Getting snappy
3. Wanting to cry at everything/anything.
The crying thing is a bit embarrassing, for instance : a girl on Deal or no Deal won £250,000, and that was that, floods of tears.
Then watching Britain's got Talent on Saturday there was a drum group on, and cos they said no to putting them through I burst in to tears again.
By Saturday it had kicked in fully and was making me feel like shit. But I had an added bonus this time of sickness and the squirts. The throwing up started at 5pm and carried on until 7am Sunday morning. Then followed straight away with the shits. Everything that was coming out of me was a bright yellow, and I mean BRIGHT yellow..... Sorry.
Sunday followed much of the same sort of pattern but not as much. I spent the day in bed trying to watch sport but what with falling asleep and trips to the bathroom I missed most of it. At this time I still hadn't eaten anything much but I did try and eat some roast chicken and gravy which I wolfed down, this was a turning point. The rest of the day I still felt sick but wasn't.
I woke up Monday morning without having much sleep and instantly threw up again. Shelley said enough was enough and I was carted off to hospital to see the specialist, had some bloods taken (Grrrrr) and sat with him.
So we said I could try these wicked anti-sickness tablets, I only have to take a quarter of one tab, they work a dream !
So there you have it, up to date and feeling ok this morning.
Thanks for reading

It's been a while I know ! ..... I'm sorry.
It's been a weird week really, and I'm beginning to understand what a nasty piece of work Chemotherapy really is. It's making me and my body do things I don't like.
It makes my body tired, if I want to do anything, I have to plan 3 days in advance. So if I want to play on Xbox Kinect, I know the next day I'm gonna be rough, and the 3rd day all I'm going to want to do is sleep.
I baked yesterday for the first time in ages, in all about 2 hours. Today I feel like crap and I've had a nap for an hour and half.
On the other side of things, I'm short tempered then I'm quiet. I feel useless and bad for not helping around the house. I also feel unloved, but I hope that's not true.
Anyway enough of that again. I have to go for my next chemo (full fat this time) which I'm really shitting myself over because I had my first lot over 4days and also had flush to water it down, and I've felt really crap. The second is the same amount but over 4 hours and no flush, so I'm readying myself for a hard couple of weeks.
Did I say I had started baking ?
I have a bit of time on my hands now obviously, so I've bought 3 books off eBay. So far I've made Flapjacks and a Banana Tealoaf, both of which were yummy. Next time it's Parkin and a Cheesecake of some sort. I also want to make my own bread which I plan to do next week sometime.
So that's it for this week, going to leave you with a joke.
As my sister-in-law roared off in her new car my wife commented "I think I made a mistake marrying you, Look how happy my sister is in her new car"
I said "Yes, maybe if you sucked a lot of cock your boyfriend would buy you a Porsche too"
"I may well just do that" she sneered.
"It's a bit late now" I replied "I can't afford two".
Thanks for reading.
