How Was Your Day? #3

Haven't posted on here for a bit, so here goes....

Last week - what a week. Firstly, my dad popped round to let me know that my Great Uncle had passed away 2 weeks previously (and that I'd missed the funeral) would have been nice to have had the option to have gone and said my goodbyes, but obviously couldn't. He had had cancer for 2 years and had kept going for a lot longer than anyone thought he would, but it was a peaceful end, which is the main thing.

Then on Friday, my stepgrandfather was rushed to hospital. He had MS and was chair bound, no mobility in his legs or from the waist down. They thought he had a stroke and that he definitely had pneumonia. Well, he lost the use of his body from the neck down following, was pretty unresponsive, couldn't talk or anything. He fought bravely for a few more days, but then sadly he passed away on Tuesday morning.

So not such a good time of it but for both, was a happy release for them both.

On Tuesday, I'd already promised Ste a trip, so amongst all of the Bank Hols traffic made our way to Wales and popped to Cardiff for the Dr Who exhibition which was pretty good - we both enjoyed it and Ci enjoyed spending the day with his nan at Diggerland.

Boys are back to school next Weds and I had forgotten so now it will end up being a rush job to get all of their things sorted out ready for then (and believe me, I'm not in the mood or the condition to be rushing!! :rotfl: )

Awww Ems that sucks about your great uncle/step grandfather *sends hugs your way*

I had a job interview yesterday, questions were a bit hard but i tried my best and thats all i can do really

I'm sorry to hear about you great uncle and step grandfather Ems. Its good that they both had a peaceful end.

You can only try your best vicky, hope the interview went alright.

I tidied my room yesterday, it took hours, everytime i moved something from my desk the pile of papers did not seem to decrease.

So sorry to hear of you loss of you uncle and grandad Ems. Sometimes it doesn't rain it pours but they are out of pain and are in a better place. Put your feet up gives the kids money and tell them to get their own stuff for school :D

My niece is doing a lot better she is finally out of the high dependisy ward and onto a normal ward, she is of the oxygen and Plasma but is still on dialsys but is hoping to be off that in a few days. I am going to see her tomorrow, which is the first time I have seen her in three weeks. Work has been hetic all week with spending two flaming days sitting in a court and our students are back on Monday and the college still looks as if a bomb has hit it.

Really sorry to hear about the loss of your uncle and stepgrandfather Ems.

Kath - i'm glad to hear your niece is making a good recovery now! :)

Yesterday was a good day - walked over the bridge with some friends - stopped halfway and had a bit of a picnic. :D Then stayed over my mates for the night where we watched movies and played Buzz and Guitar Hero on the Playstation 2 - two great games! :D Didn't get to sleep 'til 4am though - oopps!

Mums back today so we are tidying the house looks like abomb has dropped on it. dads hoovering rmy sisters doing the bathroom and i am doing the study its nearly done so i am coming on here for a bit.

going out in a bit to get an outfit for a mates 18th tomorrow night as i have nothing to wear.

Went to visit my niece tonight in hospital. It was the first time Marley and I have seen her in three weeks since she was taken to hospital. Good news she is getting home tomorrow, she has to return in three weeks time to the Renal Clinic to have her kidneys checked and blood taken. She has put on a lot of weight due to the steriods but it was such a joy to see some colour in her cheeks. The first thing she said to me was sorry that she had missed my birthday. Bless her wee soul.

havent posted in here for a while

near the beginning of august i went to venice for 5 days, which was good although there wasnt really much to do there after a while. though the weather was really hot apart from one evening when it poured down with rain and so we got soaked! then from 18th to 25th we went down to stay with my mums cousin who owns a hotel in bournemouth. the weather wasnt that great for the beginning of the week but it got better towards the end

yesterday i moved into my new house at uni. not properly moved in, just took some of my stuff down, which was lucky seeing as there were no matresses on the beds! the house is nice though, its just been newly built. i had to change the furniture around though cos i didnt like how it was lol! met some of my neighbours who seem really nice so cant wait to move in properly in just under 2 weeks! :D

I got my university accomodation offer through today so i know where i will be staying in September. I 'm really excited now, i am going shopping for essentials today. The room has internet connection which i definitly not good for me, it is the bigggest distraction going. We'll soon find out though.
