I had three different sets of photographers come into the opticians yesterday, from different newspapers and they all had me posing in my bunny outfit. I have persuaded my boss to join in with me, and I am able to borrow another bunny suit for her too.

I was VERY brave yesterday. Although I attend my NHS dentist regularly, I dont feel they are doing their best. It was me who had to point out about the lump in my mouth and insist that I was referred.I also need a filling, and its only recently that I can open my mouth to the full extent, to allow this to be done. So I registered with a private dentist. I have an appointment next Friday afternoon. I am also going to ask if they can do something with my two front teeth. I chipped them at the age of 16, and thats the way they have stayed. I know it will be expensive, but perhaps spread over a length of time will be more manageable.
By the way - I dont like dentists at all!

Fancy Dress Costume

Today, I have borrowed a pink fluffy rabbit costume from a friend, to wear for the sponsored walk.
I hope it doesnt rain, as I will look like a drowned pink rat!

Please sponsor me

Another check up!

Went to hospital this morning, for my monthly check, due to the hospital cancelling my appointment it was 7 weeks since I was seen last time.
Mr Merrick was very pleased with me and said everything had healed up perfectly well, no further bumps and he would see me again in 6 weeks.

I have also registered to take part in the Weston Hospicecare's Midnight Beach Walk 2008. It takes place on Saturday 13th on the seafront. I'm hoping to raise lots of sponsorship money!

My job is going fantastically well, I am really enjoying it. The girls I work with are really friendly, and it is never too much trouble to give me a hand/advice. I am truly grateful to my boss, for giving me this opportunity.

I went to visit one of the lads who was on my 'old school bus' today. He was so pleased to see me, I will miss him, as he was on the bus right from the start of that 5 year job.

Counselling free

I started my new job last Saturday. I am really enjoying it. Alot to learn, but all very interesting.

I went for my counselling session on Thursday, and she was so pleased with me, that she doesnt want to see me any more. She feels that since passing my driving test, my confidence has grown tremedously. I do agree with her, although I do try and 'face my fear' rather than hide away from it now.

I am working 23 hours this coming week, and I expect I will be exhausted by the end of it. But I feel like a new person. Someone who is doing this through choice and not through necessity.

I'm back to see Mr Merrick (Maxillo Facial surgeon) on Wednesday 20th August, for my monthly check-up
