Please could you sign our petition?
The NHS is a mess at present.
We are all suffering through a failing health service; it is time something was done to improve this much-needed service.
Thank you!

Hi, how are you? I hope you are well & had a good week!

Despite being bad in health, I have had a busy week & got a lot sorted out. I went to the COPD chest cinidc on Tuesday & they told me that with me having breathing problems every time I move about (transfering into my electric wheelchair, etc) the next treament is oxygen 16 hours a day, but could not use unless I give up smoing so has made me try again to give up smoking, so cut down to 4 cigs a day better then 20-30 a day lol!

On Wednesday, I had a social worker come around as they had been refusing to let me employ 2 PAs instead using a care agency where the carers only spend 20 mins instead of an hour & only do half the care duties that are needed to be done, also the carers are not trained. He agreed that I can now start employing PAs as I need 2, one for weekdays & 1 for weekends, should take the brokers 4-5 weeks to find me the PAs.

A couple of friends came around for some drinks with me yesterday & we caught up with a lot & fully enjoyed their company, I only had a few bitter shandies, made a pleasant change as not seen anything of my best friend for a long time, we had a good laugh.

I hope you have a wonderful weekend, take care, dear friends xx.

Hi, I have finally got myself a lovely small dog a 2-year-old Jack Russel called Jim.
I got him yesterday at 1.30pm.

He has never seen a cat before so will take him a while to get used to my 2 cats my cats are used to dogs so they just run away from him, he just barks at them but waging his tail so is enjoying himself but he is also a bit scared of them at present he will get used to them eventually, he is a lovely little boy very loving & needs lots of love so I am giving that to him 2 of my friends came around last night to meet him & we had a few drinks.

I hope you are having a good week, take care dear friends xx.

I got a phone call from Manchester Dog Home a local rescue about the application form I filled in on Friday regarding my adopting a small dog that gets on with cats, as my dog died in Feb, I am hoping that they find me one soon, they said they will ring if one comes in.

I helped to set up & run 2 animal rescues in 1991 & 2001. I also had 2 dogs of my own Jess died at 21 & Rio aged 18 I had to put them to sleep while I was in hospital so now ready for another dog if you have or heard of a small dog that gets on with cats please let me know, many thanks xx
