KickBoxing

Well i was at my second class of kickboxing tonight and one of the girls that i have got to know was
talking about adoption well ears pricked up. Gander said we are on the journey for adoption. Well she then went on to say that our town had has yes to her benign a single adopter then when she started home study was told that if she was not willing to take on a teenager or severely disabled. So they had turned her down bless her i know exactly what she is going through.
Well i told here about adoption UK i also told her that i am in contact with an agency and that i will give her there detail next week.

What i don't understand is that she works in a primary school given extra support to the children and she was told that she does not have enough child care experience this I'm not understanding.

Hope the information that i give her will help.

Monthly up date

Like title says this is a near monthly update as not a lot happening.

Well couple of this have happened.
  1. I have been reading a lot , these books
  • Big Steps for Little People
  • The Adoption
  • And now I'm on the Adopters on Adoption
the first two books where OK once i got in to them but the third Adopters on Adoption i just can't seem to get in to it.
I do realise that i did read and start to read the first two books last month.#
  • We have had the main part of our garden done. My Beautiful Roses have now gone and We have Grass and Gravel. We are also have seasonal bed benign made at the moment. A seasonal bed means that for each season you plant that season's plants and dig up last season's. It sounds Pretty good and will give some colour to the garden.
  • Oh for got to say while gander and friend where doing the garden (Paving) Gander went to relay a paving slab and felt something go in his hand............. I must say that any sane person would have stopped seeing that the pain was making them feel sick BUT NO my Gander continued laying paving slabs .. When i got home from work all i can say is OMG his hand looked like it belonged to a man that was at least 10 feet tall it was so swollen. So off we trudged to the A&E department and after waiting 3 hours got to see an assessment nurse she said and i quote " oh dear looks like you have done some damaged here I'll give you some pain killers, But we have an incident happen can you come back tomorrow to get the xray" We as you can believe i was not too happy but what can you do. So on Thursday i bandaged Ganders hand and wrist as in lot of pain (wish i hadn't thou) I then got a phone call from friend who was helping doing the garden is Gander meant to be shoveling gravel and top soil....... i could not believe it. MEN ...... Well after a few choose words like you silly wombat i took him back to A&E where we waited another 3 hours to see assessment nurse then she sent him straight through for xray then saw doctor another 3hours to do all that. Doctor was not at all happy that he was sent home on the Wednesday. Doctor told Gander that he has either torn the tendons in his hand ( which may need surgery) or he has broken at least 3 bones in his hand.... They wont be able to tell for at least a week so he is in plaster waiting for this Thursday to see what damage he has done... Lets hope its not too bad.
  • Gander Has put in for promotion at work if he gets it he will no longer work night and only work Monday to Friday 9-5. I am keeping every thing crossed as Gander has worked permanent nights for the last 5-6 years. If he gets interview it will be on 30th November '09.
  • I start my training for the Brownies this coming week just been sent agenda for this months meeting and i also start CRB this week as well.
  • We did lighting up village where Brownies is based and walked through village with the lanterns that we had made and then my pack came second in the design the guy which was really good.
  • Went back to doctors over weight issue and i had put on 3lbs not a happy bunny. So i have been told that I'm eating the right foods just need to cut down portion size so now my dinner plate is a side plate i never get full now just satisfied . just hope this works don't know what else i could do or them, we will see next week .
I will keep you informed on all the above and see where we go from there

Doctors

Well winter is defiantly on it way, got my letter yesterday to attend doctors today for my annual flu jab.

My arm still hurts. I really don't like this injection it really hurts.

Whole i was there i had to have asthma check as well. Well that is good news as i blew 400 on the peak flow best ever ( normally can't get above 350) kickboxing is really helping.

Today i told our Doctor that we where going for adoption and told him when the information session was......

I don't think i have ever seen doctor move so quickly He rechecked my thyroid test height weight (which not happy about) redone my peak flow, and then said well Lisa we where wondering if you where going to go for adoption you have got full support of practice.

He has sent up a weight management with the nurse that i have to go every two weeks. he has told me to come off weight watchers and only do it through them so there is evidence for adoption medical that I'm trying to loose weight.

I asked him about the three months that i was on anti-depressions for miscarriage last year and his answer was " well it will show them that you are human and not a robot and that you have dealt with you lose"

He was filling in a form about thyroid problem and asthma he would look up and ask me a question and then mutter to him self and then put the answer in before i could answer him.
I think that i have given my doctor something to get his teeth in to.

When i left he was smiling from ear to ear.

Got to start the calorie control healthy eating tomorrow. Been told to reduce dinner plate with side plate and that way dinner will look bigger and will get fuller quicker all in the visual aspeck of it. and I'm not to do any more crazy crash diets.
I must say in my defence that in 2007 i went on the Cambridge Diet and i lost 5 stone for the IVF and i kept it all of until the miscarriage and i have put 3 stone back on but have been healthy eating since January but not been loosing weight just inc es.
Here's looking towards the new me

Fire Station

Brownies>>>>>>>> Fire station
Yes i know i normally go to Brownies on a Thursday, but today was special as we where being shown round the fire station.

We got there at 6.15pm tonight and straight away the fireman where been really helpful. We had information session about what to do if alarms go off while we where in the Station. then we where shown round the engines and the turntable ladder.

I must say that the Fire men where brilliant to cope with 40 Brownies and 6 leaders and helpers.
They kept the girls occupied and interested and told them what they need to know and do to get there badges which was brilliant.

My Brown owl even said that it was a very good evening and that all girls where very interested and inter acted with the fire man Our Fireman was Jamie and he had to go up the turntable ladder which goes up to 100 foot in the air, Got so lovely photo's which will help the girls and me to get badges.

Thank you to all the firemen and women you do fantastic job

Well what can i say............ This must be turning in to a bit of a habit for my lovely Gander now
He has cooked me dinner twice (2) this week yesterday he did a lovely stuffed belly of pork roast with all the trimmings. Which was absolutely fab and he washed up. And tonight i got another fab dinner of bangers mash and beans. which was lovely as well.

Had another great time at the Brownies We had competition to see who could draw the best Guy Fawkes Which is to be made in to one
And then we made lanterns out of Glass jars some of the ideas the girls have is fab.

Rung up VA (moody SW) they said that can't help us because of our location in the fact that we are in the middle of the 3 shires ie Cambridgeshire lincolnshire lestershire.
We live top end of east Anglia so come into them and also an unoffical shire called Huntingdonshire
So we have city council Huntingdonshire council and county council and this is why they can't help us. If we moved north, east or west they could help us as then we would only have two councils to deal with too much red tap need to go through LA.
Well we contact the other two LA in the next towns and they said that they have big enough area's to cover as big counties that they are not taken on out side ( Meaning Us) at this present time.
Books
Well finished big steps to day and all i can say is what an eye opener it is.
Think I'm going to read considering adoption next.................
OH OH OH i got 6 more books today
Adoption for Dummies, Real parent real children, Raising adopted children,Twenty things adopted kids wish their adoptive parents knew, Adopters on adoption, Blue-eyed son
