About Me

My photo
I'll be 55 this August... I've had bronchiectasis for ten years plus this year... End stage lung disease for the past year...been on oxygen for three years... and have I got used to it yet?... nah! I am now waiting for the biggie; a double lung and maybe a heart transplant. I love my life weirdly enough, because I have some wonderful family and friends who are with me every step of the way on my adventures, even though I embarrass them on a daily basis with my unorthodox way of looking at life. Not for the faint hearted!

Steptoe and Daughter!

One of life's great mysteries to me is why when it thunders and lightening's and the downpour of rain floods roads, do I still have to water the bloody hanging baskets of a night time!?

That of course is after I dragged my hoover over to mother's bungalow to hoover right through, helped my ex to straighten mother's carpet under her tv cabinet, which she has been moaning about for ages as it rucks up. Then polished her tv cabinet after moving everything off it to move it to get the carpet straight and all before I did my own housework.
This is penance for me for not having my physio done after all this afternoon. I had actually got home honestly when I got the call that she had an emergency and won't be able to get to me until Friday now, but boy I did pay the price for my illicit two hours by being my mother's char lady.
She does have a way of getting me to do things for her which I know I shouldn't, but she knows I'll weaken. And I know she'll put up with the swearing and the banging about as I have a strop. She always reminds me of Steptoe and Son where Wilfred Brambles gives this sad little look to his son and then a wicked grin when he gets his way!

I love my mother, but gosh she's a cunning bugger!

Lots of love Debbie x
