Last Thursday evening was Matt’s school performance thing, so wish I had remembered to take my digital camera, hence I need a decent phone, I can not even find where the videos are stored in it!
This is the ticket, OK that’s obvious! taken when I got home, the show impressed me, Matt was with most of the acts – or so it seemed.
Sorry about the quality Son, if I zoomed in closer the quality got really shit, you were brilliant.
Matthew Briggs!
Best Santa film ever, absolutely bonkers, love it, Bernie Mac is the security guard. As I get settled, comfortable, and accustomed to work, then part time Santa’s sound a great idea!!!
RIP Bernie Mac, fellow sarcoid, most do not understand and doubt us.
Possibly the largest shop I have ever achieve as a single, on my own, not lonely though definitely good looking Dad, this cost £70.60 after a Utility Warehouse £10 voucher (in-depth article on them later), it got me an awful lot, cooking directions will follow, and at that super cheap way to cook loads that only I seem to do as a real on-line person!
Here you can see my waste bin, a Woolovers plastic packaging bag hanging on a cupboard handle, the thing is, behind that cupboard door is a rear mounted bin – that still needs mounting.
The best lime juice I have ever twitched to, mega burst when thirsty catches me in the night, also decided to store these root vegetables like they are meant to be stored, in a cool dark area – so they say, but the cupboard might be too warm, hmmm?
Yes correct, the fridge bulb light has blown up, but just look how all that is stuffed in there, proper impressed with it all.
Jar of curry sauce needs replacing with fresh cooked sauce, something I need to get better, erm, learn. Main thing here is not the spreads that are in plentiful but those four tins of Glenryck pilchards, two per week, meant to be good for my heart, its easy to forget about that problem too, but thankfully it reminds me ha!
And so that is the main once per month Sainsbury’s delivery shop, the next is booked for this arriving Saturday, but, that is more of a top up shop at around £50, and so, we have one big main cooking shop, and then a smaller top up shop at a total of about £130 per month, that’s still cheap, I really have learnt to live cheap but healthy these last couple of years, yes im working now!
Everyone knows by now that I feel so lucky and happy to be working in an environment that I enjoy and seems good for me, even secret Santa got it spot on!
How did he know I really am sweaty enough, oh, sweet even…!
And so next year I will get cards for all, I have never had so many cards, well, over the last ten years.
Its something that very many folks really do seem to be bad at, but with the aid of mechanics and gadgets, then no one should really have any excuse to lapse. You really need to find out what are the best types of head to get at all those hardest of areas, yet also decent small gadgets to slip in between;
This is an old head worn out, it probably went on far too long at about a year, once worn out then the bristles are not very good at scrubbing the teeth or gums.
Today I started on something that I have never had before, a double head for, for me, one goes in one direction while the other does another, very little gets wasted, very impressed, and in a pack of four, now im ready for my new tooth on 5th March 2013!
What we have here is lots of in-betweens, starting with the floss stick and pointer, this gets into the tightest of areas below the gum line, the first interdental tooth brush is a tiny 0.45mm, this can just about get below the gum line, the next size is 0.6mm which is ideal for the tight spaces between them there teeth, and finally the big size is 1.1mm, this fits brilliantly between those cranky teeth that I have… Oh, and before the floss stick on the left, yes appears a hair, this has nothing to do with looking after your oral hygiene, erm…
It was once said to me that a woman looks at teeth and shoes, and yes she did a couple of years as a dental hygienist before returning to M & S York, I wonder where now, and that she is now ok?
Last but not least, do not swallow, after swishing it around the mouth for about a minute then you must gargle and then spit, this should be done a couple of times per day, usually mid morning and at the evening.
Tonight I let some pals down, they have been great over the years and I were looking forward to ‘mad Friday’ for the start of most folks Christmas break, I just struggle to explain. In April this 2012 my sarcoid attacked me big time, worse than the diagnosis of those early times, and so I pushed myself and we reckon its under control, great, get with Remploy Leeds and achieve a job that I proper like, I will keep this short, I am a one in ten, no silly not the UB40.
I appear to be doing what most of the rarest sarcoids unfortunately struggle to do, I have been given a chance to work, and somewhere that I enjoy, folks are great, humour is mad and, erm, yes they do blush me sometimes, but that is definitely a fair game?
Where were we? ah, I really am rare and pushing the limits, I need rest after a good weeks work, my head did say up until Thursday morning that perhaps I can do mad Friday, I learnt a lesson at the works ‘do’ in that I need to pretty much have minimal movement after a days work, oh it really is so difficult to explain, I really am enjoying work but my body packs in if I don’t rest enough.
Im thinking about taking up smoking as my new years resolution, how to take up smoking is explained a little below the video, just to compliment the old habit of drinking, you see, its like this, erm…
Is it such a bad habit? if affordable then why not, more than too many do, hmmm, but do check out that middle finger of up yours, unintentional obviously but it points out quite well really!
To take up smoking then obviously start on the nicotine patches, then after about a month move onto those false cigarettes, then about a month after that start on the full blown tobacco.
By then maybe alcohol patches will be available? now that is a great idea, double JD and coke please, then stick it anywhere, what about pints of beer patches with good head?
I can’t believe I dropped to eight stone at that stage of my sarcoid.
Last night was a special folk evening at Addingham’s Swan, , festive evening, but this short post is just to say I did not go, its my first winter working, and having sarcoidosis, the last few weeks I have learnt lots and pretty much adjusted to fit, the reality is simple; I need to rest as much as possible, yes I feel like my boundaries are being pushed but diet, rest, sleep, exercise and work have to be mastered before venturing out during the week.
Had a great day at work, but today I finally managed to get really confused, I signed up to the secret Santa for our team, proper confused me what to do, think I now know with some great ideas, we have got to spend £10 on a work colleague, the person I have to buy a present for is… as if I’m going to give it away on here eh!!!

Just a little proof here, but honestly, cooking and ironing together is great therapy…
This is the biggest, deepest flat pie I have ever made, usually I cook it in two oven dish things and turn it into four, this time I decided to cram it all into one, I think it worked.
In between all that cooking of stuff I did do the ironing, one thing you need to remember, always iron your clothes while slightly damp, it works a treat, erm, ok, the photo is a little blurred but I were rushing!
I actually do love cooking, this is one of the best flat pies ever, simply because I crammed everything into one dish, divide it by four and felt hungry.
Can you smell them?
