Sometimes we need a hug!

23.

Well, hello my loves! My last two blogs have been a little different, I posted one without putting it on Twitter or Facebook because it was just a spur of the moment poem thing, not a very good poem! and my last blog I wrote because I was feeling a bit shitty about things so I thought I would target that blog to what makes me feel shitty and that is MND. 

The response from my last blog 'My letter to MND' has been a bit mad really! So many of you have read it which makes me so incredibly happy and the comments I have received have all been so supportive and lovely, I thank you for that! <3 

I am currently listening to Jessie Ware - Say You Love Me and the song Heart Like Yours from the movie If I Stay, both beautiful songs that I have been slightly hooked on this whole week. I urge you to listen to them :) Can I just ask, do any of you find a song that you love and listen to it on repeat until you realise you're not actually listening any more? And then you find a new song and do the same thing again and again? I do this all the time! If I could work for a radio station I think I'd have my ultimate dream job, such a shame I have a dull Yorkshire accent - some of us can sound very monotone from time to time, but I wouldn't wanna come from anywhere else :)





I've had a pretty crappy week if I'm honest with you all, at the beginning of the week I spent five hours in Hull Royal Hospital with my dad, he fell off an exercise bike at physio and cracked his head open, thankfully he was fine, he had a ct scan and it was fine and he didn't need any stitches or glue. But seeing him in possibly the most vulnerable state I've seen him in was pretty hard to deal with, and continuously trying to explain why he had to stay there for five hours was all a bit mentally draining. I'm just glad that he was okay and there have been no bad affects from the fall. 

I've had a bad week with my anxiety, now that the seasons have changed all the winter bugs come out and everyone gets ill, I feel like I have been surrounded by ill people all week and it's really weighed me down. People don't understand how straining it is mentally, constantly checking with myself who has touched the same objects I have and how many times I have washed my hands or put hand sanitiser on. Its been hell! Please tell me at least one of you understand how I've been feeling? Please...

I have reached the end of the week and I feel very emotional, I feel very down and as if I want a good cry. I haven't seen my dad today as I am seeing him tomorrow but I feel like I just don't wanna face it, I don't want to see him poorly this week. I know I sound awful, I sound like a selfish bitch but I think sometimes we all need to kinda recharge our batteries and after how I've been feeling all week and still feel now I don't want to start a new week the same way. 

I need a hug...I need a friend




I'm sorry this blog hasn't been up beat, it hasn't involved anything remotely interesting but This Is ME

I do have some good news, so far I have raised £116 for the 10K I am doing in June :) my goal is still £500 and I will pop the link below just in case any of you are feeling lovely and generous after reading my very debbiedowner blog.

My letter to MND

22. Dear you, I want to start off by saying I don't like you. From the day we have met all you have done is cause pain, you have caused misery! That is all you do for everyone you meet. You find them at their best and demolish their whole being. You break them down to the point where there is no fight left, but they will fight you until the very end knowing they will never win. One day they will win, one day we will all break YOU down so you're not here any more. None of us like you, but you bring us all closer together. You make us realise that we can't go on just floating by, you make us realise that time is the most precious thing any one in the world has got! And with that precious time we have to make as many wonderful memories possible, we have to tackle all the hurdles you throw at us so that you know we will stick together and fight you. I have the displeasure of knowing you, so many others have the displeasure of living  with you. For those I can't i...

Arsenal, Tears and Happiness!

26. We meet again my loves, how ya diddling? I'm good, I have two weeks off work now :D nothing major is planned...oh wait HARRY POTTER STUDIOS and bonfire night, I love bonfire night, the magic of the fireworks and sparklers is just so beautiful. I will definitely try and get some pictures of the fireworks and sparklers of the bonfire I'm planning on going too.  Is it just in the UK we celebrate bonfire night?  I'm currently listening Marmozets - Captivate You, I've heard this band quite a lot on Kerrang radio and just love this song, it gets me bouncing around in my seat. I downloaded their album and it's pretty belting I have to say! It was on repeat everyday this past week on the bus, a definite boost before work.  I don't know if I told you guys that my Dads best friend, Steve, contacted Arsenal (my Dad is obsessed) and explained his situation and how much he loves the team and always has done, and they wrote him back to say they would send Dad...

Our story with MND so far..

6.  These are my feelings and my thoughts, no one else's, just mine. In June 2013 my Dad was dealt the card of Motor Neurone Disease, a horrible disease. MND attacks the central nervous system and causes muscles to weaken and waste away. People with MND have to struggle everyday with activities that wouldn't have affected them before. It can be different with each person but sadly the outcome is always the same, there are no survivors, only true fighters! There is no cure... In some cases of MND the person can also have Frontotemporal Dementia. A less common form of dementia but nevertheless devastating. My Dad also has this... I first realised that something wasn't quite right around January 2013, my dad and I were sat in a cafe and he couldn't open a folded lottery ticket my exact words to him were "can't you use for hands or something" his reply was "no, my hand has got really weak" I asked him to make a fist with his right han...
