Another of those "10 things to do before you die" achieved!!!
the Togmeister Wogan himself read out my letter!!!
You may remember my Welsh bra joke a while ago, well I submitted it to the show and on Thursday it got read out!!! I can die happy now.
To hear it, go to http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio2/shows/wogan/ and click the listen again feature for Thursday (yesterday) and forward the bar to 21 minutes and 10 seconds into the show!!!
For those who know the format, no one writes in under their real names and Terry will occasionally read the odd one out in full. In my case, he only read out the forename keeping people guessing about the surname. Well, the surname was Bullethole.
I thank you!!!

Amitrypteline....again!
I went back to see my doctor again this week as a while ago I was prescribed some medication to ease the numbness in my hands.
It did not work but to be fair I think I expected too much too soon. So I asked for a higher dose and he duly put me on 50mg of Amitrypteline.
I have been on them for 3 days now and I am beginning to remember why I was so keen to get off them. They are playing havoc with me. I could eat a small farm shop and I have terrible anxiety to cope with too.
As for the numbness, no change there!
I am going to percivere though. I reckon my body is just adjusting to it. I will of course keep you informed!

Thunder, Whitesnake & Def Leppard
Another first happened this week as I saw my first major rock gig in the wonderful new Liverpool Echo Arena!!!
What a place, big enough to attract lots of top names and small enough to have a great view wherever you are!!! I love it, well done Liverpool.
I only have one criticism though....its all blue inside!!! What happened to red? Obviously designed by a toffee!!!
THUNDER
These guys never fail to impress!!! I dont know how many people in the crowd knew of them but lead singer Danny Bowes was happy to play the audience participation game from the off!!! Thunder are the reason that we saw the gig in Liverpool, we originally had tickets for Sheffield but when extra dates came out and Thunder were added to the bill then a decision was made to eBay the tickets to fund the Liverpool gig instead!!! 40 minutes of great rock, great singing and Danny has a great voice, all of the Liverpool crowd now know that!!! Well done Thunder!!!
Whitesnake
I dont swear much but they were crap. What an old, wrinkly, past it has-been Coverdale is!! They are a 1 song band, "Here I Go Again" which was great but apart from that I am amazed that these guys have taken some of the profit made on my tickets!!!
Def Leppard
I think that Def Leppard are my favourite live band ever!!! The only problem is that they tour the UK about as often as an ice age passes. It was great to see them in Liverpool and they seem to be really enjoying this tour and playing full arena's rather than limited capacity venues like the Manchester Apollo. I told Kerris that she was in for a treat and she loved it too. Generally she likes bands where the members start to undress as they get sweaty!!! These guys rock from start to finish although I think a few people didnt know the whole back catalogue as I was the only one joining in with the acoustic version of "Bringin On The Heartache" in Black A!!! I could follow this band around the UK and never get bored, its what my teen years were all about really!!!
So a good time was had by all and I cant wait for the next time, I hope they will be back again next year but please do it with someone other than Whitesnake!!!!

A quiet week really!
Here is another of those mobile blog updates which can be done at the one time in the week when I am forced to sit down and do nothing for 30 minutes. So hello from Jays' swimming lesson!
Yes its been a quiet week but from a health point of view I have put some long days in and that was followed by 2 early nights. The accumilitive effect of exhaustion is a remarkable thing.
I have made the executive decision that when exhaustion hits, I rest. Its has to be like that following the mother of bad moods that hit me a few weeks ago. When I start edging that way, I now need to rest.
I am also off to see my doctor next week. Another executive decision! I need to be more determined to overcome this numbing of hands etc as when I go to sleep at night, its a battle to make them comfortable and when I wake it the morning....well you would have to be me to truly appreciate how uncomfortable this is.
Finally, sinus pain! When all of the above kicks in, sinus pain appears and increases! I have no idea what all that is about!
Apart from all that, things are good! There is a very secret, secret that I don't go into on the blog regarding my future and last week, a meeting was had and a plan was made so there is good as well as frustrating in this world you know!
