not sure if im staying on here

Saturday, 16 October 2010

as
I said not sure if I’m staying

I have set up another page until I decide if I’m staying on this page or not
so if anyone would like the link here it is(http://mikeslittleplace.blogspot.com/)
so I hope to see some of you in the future if not that’s ok i understand I’m
not the best blogger in fact i may just get in the top category for being the
worst lol ,but it passes time for me ,and I think it just about keeps my mind
going so cant grumble at that .
Sheila and I didn’t do much today but I think Sheila is getting itchy fingers
for Christmas, I noticed she was looking at a lot of toys today in a local shop
so we must be getting near that time.
I will be struggling this year as I have had sick and very little overtime so
not much extra in the old bank account so something has to give . and of course
with my firm doing the dirty on the drivers we both have a lot more expense in
buying a car insurance and tax  plus fuel it all adds up I know i was lucky with
the perk i had and always have known this even though i paid tax on the vehicle
i took home it was well worth it.
I reckon the firm has saved about fifty £ a month by not allowing me to take
the van home but it has cost me £ fifty in petrol a month plus road tax £125
plus insurance as i have not owned a car for over eighteen years the premium was
high that cost me £ four hundred but wait for it the firm has had a very big
bill because they have had to pay a firm to deliver all the machines we used to
deliver  lol and hey it’s a big bill because i have been told how much the firm
is being charged for the deliveries  well i wonder who will get the blame for
that idea ,I think they have said enough as we are now delivering a few machines
again and at not even a third of the price even me the lowest pain probably in
the factory well me and my mate the other driver knows that it doesnt make sense
to do it.
Sadly it looks like the presents will be knocked down to size this year as we
usually spend a heck of a lot on presents ,mostly the grandkids but included the
rest of our family so my firm has even managed to spoil the Vale’s Christmas
this year and i forgot about our holiday we had a week in this country we used
to have two weeks abroad and one week here so wow what a let down i have made
for my Sheila this year mm how can i make that up to her.

oky koky i must have bired you all by now so ill say adiose

The cam goes down today

Well today is the day I have that dreaded camera into my stomach again I’m
not sure what they are looking for but i have decided to have it as i first I
refused as i have had this a few times already and they say my stomach is very
inflames and pitted and that’s it it stays the same pain and all so i thought
what’s the point of going through all that again just to be told that but with
losing all the weight I’m going ahead then at least i know all is well and they
are putting me out for this one i usually just have the back of my mouth sprayed
to help swallow the camera so it will be a little easier this time .cant have
anything to eat or drink for six hours before so that’s me from seven o’clock
this morning until my appointment at 13.00 so I’m feeling hungry already  lol
never mind all for the best.

I have just been watching the miners coming up from the mine that collapsed
what a great day for them and the families and they say they are all ok and when
all this is over they will never have to go down a mine ever again because they
will all be rich from the papers and TV people so at least some good came from
it ,a few will probably be separating as the papers say a few girlfriends came
to the site of the married miners and all is out between the girlfriend and the
wives that’s not good but i have always said do it and you will get caught
somewhere along the line maybe in yeas but one day for sure.

well IM still not sure if I’m staying on this blog as i don’t really like the
way you have to do things so i guess ill hang around for a few wks and see how i
feel then until the nexed time adios .

I am on my own it would seem

Well not seen anyone on here since i moved house is that because only me has
moved or have I not set this page up properly ,I must admit i don’t like it up
to now doesn’t seem to be any freedom in putting anything on here but ill have
to see how it goes .when i say freedom I guess that started some time ago on
live spaces but i got so used to the page and how to do things i felt at home
with it, this page looks as though you have to go all round the houses to set
anything up and then you can only setup a few things they think are appropriate
well ill give it a go see how i go with it  ,I seem to have lost all friends and
updates from blog users maybe that’s another thing i have to reset but it looks
messy to me I’m not sure whether this page will update as I’m using live space
‘s writer so we will see.

well as I thought it doesn’t work another thing they don’t have on there site
that’s got to be a red mark from me so ill copy and paste this articles who
knows some mates may have joined it by then .

well we have been dumped or are we being looked after at last

Well i decided to have a go on spaces as i have been away for a couple of weeks ,well i have been in Cornwall for one week and at home for a week but have been taking it easy.

I thought i would have a rest from work and just laze around at home and as Sheila didn’t want to go anywhere well that’s just what i did.

We had a nice time in Cornwall the weather wasn’t fantastic but we didn’t expect anything else at the time of year we did have a couple of days with nice sunshine and we were out every day looking around Cornwalls harbors and beaches.We did a thousand miles that week we were based in a caravan in Looe a place i have always loved from my first ever holiday as a small boy I have been back with Sheila and our family before but not for some years it has hardly changed perhaps a few shops have changed the fronts on some getting more modern but nothing big the harbor still looks the same from when i used to hire a small motor boat and spend all my holiday money riding up and down the harbor  as i loved boats and still do yes one of my many wants in life would be a small boat something i could go out to sea in .

if you ever watch a program on TV called Doc Martin we went to the place it was filmed we went to his cottage and the school and the cafe that you see in it many times  it all looks the same as on the TV nothing different apart from the cafe seems to be closed and doc martins cottage seems to be empty maybe they bought it  and so leave it empty for future filming i hope so as i do enjoy the program.

We went to Lands End while we were in Cornwall we couldn’t not go as we were only fifty odd miles away or something like that a little added since we last went it just had a cafe last time this time it had a 3d film show a museum of doctor who and a few other things along with a old helicopter that you could walk around and a old lifeboat we had a good look round a shop that is now open that cost me a few bob  lol.

When we go back i have a few more places i want to visit so that’s for the future .but i need some sum first

 

Well as the title says have we been dumped or are live spaces looking after us as when i logged on i was told to change my account over to the new space when i first read it i thought i could leave it but after looking at it again it says live space will close shortly so if i don’t change ill lose it anyways so i guess ill change over see what its like i say ill change because i have already tried and it told me i cant have that user name as it has been taken  so i have emailed them see what they come up with  so you may get this or you may not  I’m not that happy about it because i spent hours putting all my stuff on and ill have to start again so i think this time it will be kept short but we will see .

not had a moan yet i hear you say WELL I’m okay still not got my weight back i started to then started to lose it again lol i should be so lucky i hear some of you yes i would be ok if i had not lost my strength as well i feel week even my voice goes squeaky some times how’s that no idea have you?.

I went to the doctors on Tuesday for a prescription and the doctor saw me she said i would like you to reconsider having the camera look around your stomach as i said no the last time she asked me because i have had it three times and they say the same thing and don’t do anything so I’m feel as though I’m going through all that foe nothing and it is a big deal for me as i cant stop vomiting while they do it and the doctor says it can be dangerous because they can cause damage to the stomach among other things but this time I’m being put out and i cant believe the speed i got the appointment for i went on Tuesday and had my appointment for the following week so yes I’m having it done at least this time they say they are spending more time while I’m out  .

ok i have had my moan and I’m sure i have bored anyone on here so i guess ill call it quits ill see if i can upload this to my blog and then try again to change over to this new site so if you lose contact ill have the same name and it will still be Sheila & Mikes little place at the top so if you fancy a look around our new place hopefully i will have dome the change nexed time your online whoever you may be.

I’m looking at my mail now see if i won the lottery as some lucky person here in the UK has won 113milliom pounds wow just think of all the good you could do with that and still look after yourself and family here’s hoping whoever that person is they do help some charity some where in the world and don’t just blow it on greedy things.

Back with windows seven

Well it has been a while since i came on here to put pen to paper ,I think I can say nothing really has happened since last time except I have put windows seven on my PC  and I  have found out why I lost so much weight they tell me my thyroid gland is just boarder line ,I guess that’s better than being over the top but not sure what it all means to me .

I guess that the doctor is happy to let me get on with things as they would have given me some sort of treatment so good news I do have to tell them if I start to lose weight again I hope i don’t because I do not have anything that fits me every thing looks a little loose on me  my pants nearly go round my waist twice lol .

I am glad I have gone the way i have rather than going big it must be better for me to be thin than heavy especially with the probs i have with my joints , but the weight loss seems to have made my shoulders and hips hurt a lot more and the slightest knock and I’m sore and bruise very easy don’t know if that’s the thyroid thing or just the weight loss .

I can put up with the weight as it must be better for me but it has left me feeling week and i go light headed quite often now .

we shall see what happens .

On the work front they have introduced some new rules into the work place we used to be able to make a brew when we felt like it that has stopped we cant eat on the shop floor cant even have a piece of gum in our mouths or we get a strike as they call it three strikes and your out is the new motto so I now feel quite bad in the day as i used to have a nibble whenever i felt i needed it as if i get hungry i start to shake a little and feel drained ,no i am not a diabetic had lots of tests as that all though the same thing but no I’m ok my blood count is low they want me to have the old camera down my throat again i said no thanks because you say the same thing when i have it( very inflamed and you have lots of areas that are pitted) so why go through all that again just for them to tell me the same thing again .

IM still happy with our car runs very well in fact we went out last night only forty miles or so to Blackpool illuminations  we haven’t been in a few years but sad to say they have gone down  i mean they are not as nice as they were a few years ago I guess no one wants to spend the money on the light adverts so they are only putting up the old ones it took us about a hour to get through them it was a nice change but I have been used to driving a automatic and this car is manual so it got a bit boring changing gears start stop every couple of seconds ,When i first got a automatic i thought they were a lazy persons car but hey wish mine was auto now  never mind maybe nexed time i get one it will be.

I had a few problems this week our fire packed up the igniter for the flame stopped working and as it is very old i didn’t get the exact part but i did fit a new part with a them coupling while i was fitting it the fire now works ok as i can tell the difference in the mornings summer is going now so better to get the fire going now rather than later .We cant use the central heating as the boiler has also packed up the flame just doesn’t light when we turn on the heating problem something to do with the temp gauge i guess I will have to get a gas fitter in to take a look at that as i cant fathom out how to get to anything in the boiler side the fire is part of the boiler all one thing but it does split into two part s but i cant see where to dismantle the fire to take a look.

we decided to have a new fire in and a combination boiler fitted as they are much better and as our boiler is very old we have to have the heating on just to warm the water up so yes it is well out of date.

Well it’s that time again to go pick up Sheila from her Bingo only a couple of minutes away but i have to get there early so i can park outside  as loads of taxis park waiting for there fair so ill say adios until nexed time .

A nice panoramic view of the Vatican

Read First  Amazing With Sound !!!
Whether you are Catholic or not, you can visit the Vatican on your computer.
This is something really extraordinary. Wow … Computer technology is amazing!

You can spend as much or as little time as you want on it, keep it permanently if you want
And explore at leisure.
Do not forget to mount the volume on your speakers, and remember the close-up tool is your friend — (bottom left).

Also use your cursor to click and drag, and you can switch on the ceiling or 360 degrees or take any perspective you want to take.
You can focus on the smallest feature of a table.
If you’ve seen the Vatican or not, you’ve never seen so much …

It’s really incredible.

I felt a little down now i feel better

   

when i feel down I look around the news and know how lucky I am.

so much sad things going on in the world today but a little thing like this video above makes me feel much better  music can make us strong and can relax us  and can fire us up I remember reading a small article the article was about the Zulu  tribe they used music before they went to war to get them in the right frame of mind and after the war they used a different type of music to calm them back to normality  I feel relaxed now , and ready for the day aheadI.

 hope you enjoy like i have.

Mike’s Joke for today enjoy

Life

~~4 STAGES OF LIFE~~
1. You believe in Santa Claus.
2. You don’t believe in Santa Claus.
3. You are Santa Claus.
4. You look like Santa Claus
~~FACTS OF LIFE~~
1) Raising teenagers is like nailing JELL-O to a tree.
2) There is always a lot to be thankful for, if you take the time to look. For example, I’m sitting here thinking how nice it is that wrinkles don’t hurt.
3) The best way to keep kids at home is to make a pleasant atmosphere and let the air out of their tires.
4) Families are like fudge . . . Mostly sweet, with a few nuts.
5) Today’s mighty oak is just yesterday’s nut that held its ground.
6) Laughing helps. It’s like jogging on the inside.
7) Middle age is when you choose your cereal for the fiber, not for the toy.
8) My mind not only wanders; sometimes it leaves completely.
9) If you can remain calm, you just don’t have all the facts.
10) You know you’re getting old when you stoop to tie your shoes and wonder what else you can do while you’re down there.
~~GREAT TRUTHS ABOUT GROWING OLD~~
Growing old is mandatory; growing up is optional.
Insanity is my only means of relaxation.
Forget the health food. I need all the preservatives I can get.
You’re getting old when you get the same sensation from a rocking chair that you once got from a roller coaster.
One of life’s mysteries is how a two pound box of candy can make a person gain five pounds.
Every time I think about exercise, I lie down till the thought goes away.
It’s frustrating when you know all the answers, but nobody bothers to ask you the questions.
I finally got my head together, and my body fell apart.
Time may be a great healer, but it’s also a lousy beautician.
The older you get, the tougher it is to lose weight, because by then your body and your fat are really good friends.
Age doesn’t always bring wisdom. Sometimes age comes alone.
Just when I was getting used to yesterday, along came today.
Amazing! You just hang something in your closet for a while, and it shrinks two sizes.
It is bad to suppress laughter; it goes back down and spreads to your hips.
Freedom of the press means no-iron clothes.
Inside some of us is a thin person struggling to get out, but he or she can usually be sedated with a few pieces of chocolate cake.
Seen it all, done it all, can’t remember most of it.
