Newcastle

I sit here typing this in DOugies living room in Onich. We're here for the day to visit his mum and dad and he has already been out being handy man doo sawing down branches from a tree 10-15ft above the ground. Last night it was susans birthday bash, so we went to Mings in Cumbernauld. I was giving Sara and David a lift out also as DOugs and I were leaving straight after dinner. Anyway start of what turned out to be an hours drive for somewhere that was 6 minutes from the house. Sara thought she had a fair idea where it was so we followed that idea, only to turn on the sat nav when we couldn't find it and head in what we thought was the direction of the resturaunt. Turns out it was on home and we ended up going through lots of dodgy back roads and starting back in GLenboig- much hilarity constued and we finally did the full 6 minute trip to the japanese. It was amazing, and pics will follow of them setting alight to our meals while cooking infront of us. Best bits had to be dav

Friday 13th

It's FRiday the 13th today and I have had one of the laziest days ever, lying in bed feeding myself up hoping I'll have put on weight for monday. Last week was great, I did dougs mate Vicky's hair in college and I was mighty happy with the outcome as it looked brilliant.

So I finally go my letter through for my transplant assessment. Monday 16th February, the same day I am due to collect my brand new sparkly Toyota Yaris. So I've sorted to arrive in Newcastle for 1pm and in my sparkly new VE-HICLE. It took a lot of looking about and some lovely table work from DOugs but the Yaris was still small, lovely inside, lots of boot and back seat space and most importantly lots of storage space. So how am I feeling about the assessment. I had hoped I would have got a little more notice but nope, so the trip dougs and I had planned will have to be planned for another day. I went into college yesterday and told the girls, I figured the more I tell the less scary it becomes, but doesn't seem to have happened. Last night I was having a mini pity party, taking it out on my lovely man but I'm just scared that I may not be a suitable candidate. Then where do I go?? I wait, until a cure is found which probably won' happen within my lifetime so instead I
