September 7th 2015 - What a day
I had planned on writing a nice post about the boys starting back at school today and how smart they looked etc. But thing took a different route.
After school the middle son was still complaining that his wrist hurt alot. On saturday he was playing on a space hopper, fell off and landed on his wrist, we went to a&e and the doctor was in quite an ar*e (not my fault) but after prodding n poking it, son saying it really hurt, the doc said my son had sprained it - no xray etc. But to keep giving calpol and to go back if no better. Well he was still in pain so we went back.
The doc we saw today was really nice and helpful. He sent us for an xray as believed my son my have bent the bone and when we came back he said that he had, only slightly but enough to show up on xray. As it's only a mild bend he said he didn't want to put it in plaster but would put a splint on for a week to give it support. Well they couldn't find a splint small enough and only had tuber grip, but said that I could pic 1 up on ebay fairly cheap. My Son is not allowed to do anything for 2 days and needs to rest his wrist and no sport for 2weeks. he has an appointment back in a&e next week.
So now i've posted about the drama you are probably thinking that I have lost the plot talking about bending bones etc. Well this info has been copied from a medical website - "Most youngsters, broken bones are either “greenstick” fractures, in
which the bone bends like green wood and breaks only on one side, or
“torus” fractures, in which the bone is buckled, twisted, and weakened
but not completely broken. A “bend” fracture refers to a bone that is
bent but not broken, and is also relatively common among youngsters."

September 6th 2015 - The Grotto
September 6th 2015 - The grotto
No i've not gone mad and decorated my house and i'm not referring to Santa, i'm referring to "the grotto" at Cleator Moor in Cumbria attached to St Mary's Church where they hold the local pilgrimage.
I'm not a religious person, I never have been and I don't plan to start now. Yes I did go to a catholic school and I had the same respect at school and for those that are religious that I showed today. I was there as part of the St John Ambulance First Aid team that were requested to help with getting people off buses and into wheelchairs/down to the grotto area for the service.
There was a lot of people there but not as many as previous years apparently.

September 5th 2015 - chronic pain
as you are probably aware I have chronic pain. I have had it for ages now with my knee. I have set up a page on facebook called "chronic pain is real" and I am adding quotes and images I find on the net and things that I have created to do with pain etc.
I made this word cloud that I have added to it:

September 4th 2015 - The Beacon
September 4th 2015 - The Beacon
There are only a few days left before the boys go back to school, and despite the fact my knee is still really sore we took the boys to the local museum today - The Beacon.
There is lots of hands on touchy stuff for them to try and use which is great for kids of all ages. They really enjoyed the Sellafield exhibition as that had lots of things including big foam things to make a way to get rid of nuclear waste (balls). They spent ages trying to work together (very hard for my sons) to build a track.

September 3rd 2015 - Fleas
September 3rd 2015 - Fleas
Horrible nasty little things! My poor kitten is covered in them and she doesn't even go outside yet. She has had a couple of baths and now has a flea collar on but still has them.
I found today's pin online, it is linked to removing fleas from kittens via a head lice comb and tub of water - however, with plain water the fleas can limb back out quite easily. This pin says to add a drop of washing up liquid to the water and mix it together - it makes the water denser and the fleas sink to the bottom. I have removed loads from the kitten and have given the older 2 cats new collars.

September 2nd 2015 - Redbubble
For the past few years I have been a member of a site called Redbubble. This site, allows you to add your art work and photo's to it and then add a price to them so that you can sell them. For today's pin I have linked to a whole board that has a few my photo's in that are for sale on Redbubble.
I take photos of things that catch my eye, they may not b to everyone's taste but are what I like. There is an assortment of photos on there from parties and wedding, to transport and animals, all of which are for sale from stickers to greeting cards and clothes and cups to notebooks and wall art.
I have spent the past few days adding new work and editing some of the older pieces that are on the website.
Please stop by my shop and take a look - http://www.redbubble.com/people/amylw1/shop

September 1st 2015 - Bowling
September 1st 2015 - Bowling
I can't believe that today is the 1st of September. This year is going way to fast. We only have 6 days left of the summer holidays and then the boys are back to school.
Today we took the boys over to Eclipse Bowling in Workington and Blake's friend Rosie met us there. The 4 of them seemed to have a good time. Blake managed to score 104 and won, this was due to him getting 3 spares.
