Loads of STUFF

I am attempting to pack my room up but I have discovered that moving house is definitely not one of my favourites.  I met up with Beki from shift.ms which was brilliant, she is lovely and I think I am really going to enjoy helping out on the site, it is an amazing experience to have.  I am going to try and get people involved with different types of events, try to pull people together so that we don't feel like we are dealing with this all on our own.  Here are some of the idea's I have got so far -



  • Charity Skydive for shift.ms - I have emailed Skyline and have enquired about costing and disability accessibility.
  • MS picnic in Regents Park (or somewhere suitable), checking out access and toilets. 
  • A monthly meet and greet in London and possibly one in Portsmouth as well (as I spend some time down there)
  • Thought of setting up things like Equestrian days for MS sufferers, getting back to nature usually helps people.
  • Possibly setting up a swimming event for all ranges of MS sufferers.
  • Trips out the the Therapy Centers - Organising setting up some kind of system of picking people up and taking them to the centers and collecting them.
  • Setting up a Yearly Ball for MS 
  • Some sort of Craft thing - origami, brain exercises, sock puppet making that sort of thing.  Stuff to keep your brain and hands working.  Possibly on the site or meeting up somewhere.

I am going through these things and I will be making a list of things to do to make these happen, it is all very exciting.  

Back to moving though, see how easily I get distracted, I even went and had my nails done today, procrastination is a word that I have learnt and have been rocking it all day.  Don't worry I am mostly packed and I can't move stuff yet.  I had stuck a sign on my bedroom door and over the past few weeks (since Christmas) it has worried me...adhesive on a door...stuff of nightmares for me.  I was worried it would damage the door and I would have to pay for it.  Today I faced that nightmare and it came off easily, no hassle, no problems, just popped off.  Feel kind of silly now for all that worry.

I am so excited about returning to work as well, The Man has just told me that we sit facing each other 2 banks of desks apart.  We met when we worked together and then his contract ran out and he moved to another company, now he is back I feel happy and secure.  We weren't together last time but we were good friends and now when I look at him I know that he is coming home with me, it makes me smile just thinking about it.  I am looking forward to this next stage in my life, this next hurdle, I refuse to be sick anymore, I want to get back to my life, my career and enjoy it.

Today has been a bit of a mixed bag of emotions, I don't want to leave my house in Camden, it has been a real home for me and I love my housemates but I want to start my life with The Man.  I am terrified about going outside on my own but I have made myself and I am glad I did.  I am going to get the Bus down to pick up our keys tomorrow, it is a big mission that I feel I need to do, I am scared but I want to get over this and I have decided I need to try if I am going to get better.  

Right I have to go get back to it...don't think my room is packing itself to the sound of my music he he he!
