I had the Chronic Pain Clinic today and the doctor said that I need to do more and stop worrying about the pain as i'm not actually doing damage to my knee.
It's ok saying do more, but when I do i'm in more pain for a few days afterwards which isn't good and it's not him in pain!
He was going to do another injection but as I said i'm managing at the moment he didn't and said will re-assess in the new year as to whether I need another one.

December 21st 2015 - junk modelling
my lil man loves nothing more than being able to make junk models from empty tubes, boxes and tape.
We have been trying to stop him making anymore before christmas as 1. we have tidied things away and 2. so that he has extra boxes n tubes to go with the big box of odds n sods my sister has collected and bought him for christmas.
Well I had to nip out today and when I come home he was running around with a 2ft junk model space ship that he had made! He was so proud bless him, and it does look good.

December 20th 2015 - Rain
I have just about had enough of the rain, it is non-stop! The area was hit by floods a couple of weeks back and we have had rain most days since and we are back on a high flood alert.
Today's rain was accompanied by really big hail stones, it actually sounded like proper stones hitting the windows! Some of them were huge.
The kitten thought it would try and attack the rain drops as they fell down the windows!

December 19th 2015 - Scentsicles
OMG my kitten is the devil re-incarnated!!! She absolutely hates my christmas tree, she has trashed it. She has bitten my mini parcels hanging from it, has chewed the tinsel, got tangled in the lights, chewed branches, climbed up it, knocked baubles off it and it looks like it has been dragged through the cat flap and back (not that I have a cat flap, but i'm sure this would be the effect!)
I posted on a forum that I am a member of to see if anyone had any ideas - some I was given included sliced oranges under it as cats don't like orange smell - she licked it and then laid on it to sleep. Cinnamon sticks under it - she bit them and ran off with them in her mouth. Water spray gun - she just ignored it. Shout at her - she just ignores you! And lastly a lady suggested scentsicles. I had never heard of them, googled them and ordered some. They arrived today.
I can safely say they stink (I got the natural pine smelling ones) and although the smell fades after a few days if you walk past them and make a breeze the smell is strong again. BUT on a good note the kitten absolutely hates them more than I do!!! She has not gone near the tree let alone attacked it. I'm so glad someone told me about them.
It has also meant that I have been able to re-decorate the tree and make it look nice again.
However, the little cow decided that as she couldn't damage the tree she would claw the corner of my fireplace wallpaper to bits and by bits I mean shred it! I can't even re-decorate before christmas as the paper as at the back of a cupboard that has god knows how much stuff in it. So I have now put a stick there as well. And i've covered the damage with her scratching post that she has no interest in what-so-ever!
I have never known a kitten like her and I have had many cats during my life both as a child and as an adult. None of them have attacked the tree, clawed my walls etc. She has cat toys and we do play with her loads. She is just totally nuts and never stops, she is constantly on the go and doesn't sleep much, she runs around jumping on/off things like something possessed! Again I have never knwon a kitten like it. I swear she has ADHD!

December 18th 2015 - Last day of school
Today is the last day of school and my kids are anything but calm. They are bouncing off walls, hyper as an anything and on a countdown to lunchtime when they finish!
I don't envy the teachers if anyone elses kids are as bad as mine are. BUT on a good note it means we are all home for a couple of weeks forbeating each other up/fighting/argueing quality family time!

December 17th 2015 - Aladdin Panto
Yesterday a lady from the local food bank gave me free tickets to the local panto Aladdin. It was being put on in town by 1 of the local youth theatre groups.
They did a really great job of it and me and the kids really enjoyed it.
Before the show started my lil man was dancing around infront of the stage to the christmas songs being played. I'm sure others enjoyed his pre-show entertainment as well.

december 16th 2015 - UV/Glow in the dark party
For the SJA christmas party this year we decided that we would do a UV/Glow in the dark party. Back in July the cadets did a sponsored silence to raise money to buy the glow sticks and things that we would need.
They made t-shirts with UV fabric paint a few weeks back that they were going to wear on the night. When the members arrived they were all given UV face paint (if they wanted it), glow sticks, finger lights, glow glasses etc and were taken to where the disco was (normal disco lights only at this point). Once everyone was there and had thier bits n bobs we turned the UV lights on. The reactions from the kids as their clothes n things started glow properly was brilliant.
Everyone had a great time and Santa was in his grotto for a short time and gave them each a present.
