Due to people repeatedly asking me how I make certian things out of say fimo and the increase in kiddy crafts with the Scouts I have started an Art and Craft blog rather than just adding more catagories onto this one!

I'll be adding it to our links but for now heres the link http://www.salaric.co.uk/

It will be updated every Sunday - so I hope you'll all go look!

There are currently no pretty pictures on it due to the Unfortunate Insident of Sarah Being Scatty and Losing the Lead for the Camera!

Hope you all enjoy it 🙂

Sarah not happy :'( (by sarah)

We've just come back from a morning of drs appointments followed by hospital visit for x-rays - sigh. I think my body has a secret conspiricy to make my life stupid!

Ok - its not serious at least so I should be greatful. At the moment there are three senarios

1)It is something like I had in the pregnancy - hence x-rays but this is unlikely as the dr couldnt here and thing and I have no temperature or anything like that.

2)I have suddenly developed asthma at 25

3)My body is confussed becuase I have had the flue/chest infection that was bad but gone now leaving bruising and inflammation of my wind pipes. So my body would be trying to cough up irritation that is no longer there but in doing so cuases inflammation etc... which in turn agravates things.

Number three is the most likely - this is poo as it means there is no treatment and its up to my body to sort things out which is of course part of the problem 🙁 No antibiotics or antivirals will work as there is no infection. No cough mixture will work, but I shouldnt worry about the blood unless the amount of it I cough up increases - Oh and of course theres the whole weight lose thing - have I lost weight drastically recently = yes of course I have thats what I'm supposed to be doing!!!!

But your cloths arent suddenly hanging off of you are they?

Yes - cos I've gone down several dress sizes - I assumed it was the exercises I was doing 🙁 But it could apparently be to do with the cough.

So once again I await test results - once again it looks like I have something - minorally debillitating that is untreatable and once again it looks like its due the propensity of my stupid body to inflame things!

Lets see:

An inflamation disorder of some sort affects my digestive track Inflamation around my back injury is causing most of the pain and problems Cant remember which way round this goes but problems with immune system = swollen spleen or visa versa 🙁 And now breathing problems becuase of inflamation in me tubes 🙁

Great I knwo what this means - this means that I'm gonna get arthritis in the long run 🙁

Oh well no point worrying about it until the tests come back.

Sorry to be winging about the health issues once again - just a bit fed up.

Mew – ill again (by sarah)

Ok I managed to cough up blood yesturday which was not fun - so I have a Drs appointment for Tues though not with my Dr as she is fully booked until passed January though we have to phone at 8:30 tomorrow to see if there is a cancerlation we can take apparently.

Not good really.

The Curse again (by alaric)

Eargh.

I've been laid low with something flu-like the past two days, but that's not the problem at hand; it just adds a little extra horridness to it all.

Somebody wanted some information from Sarah before school time today, and since it was late last night when Sarah had the information, we decided to ring at eight in the morning to pass it on rather than eleven thirty at night, since they might already be sleeping.

So I set the alarm for eight, and had my phone to hand (with the number in). And went to sleep. I was woken by the alarm, turned it off, then found to my annoyance that the clock said eight twenty - I'd slept through twenty minutes of alarm, mainly thanks to only having gotten to sleep around one o'clock and being ill, so I poked Sarah awake, handed her the phone, and she left an answerphone message - at the time, I though this meant the whole family had probably already left and we were too late. Afterwards, we drifted back into our troubled sleeps.

I then naturally awoke at half past nine (since I work from home, my normal routine is to wake up at nine, to start work at ten).

So, imagine my surprise when I found I had a voicemail message from this person, rather annoyed that we'd woken them up by ringing at twenty past five that morning...

I still don't know how this happened. I distinctly remember turning the alarm off, and seeing it was twenty past eight before waking Sarah to make the phone call.

This suggests three possibilities:

1. My alarm clock played a mean and nasty trick on me. It shifted three hours ahead in the night, then shifted three hours back before I woke again. (Yes, the alarm was set for eight, not five; I'd not slipped up in setting the alarm or anything simple like that, and the alarm clock's time does currently match what my watch, wall clock, and NTP-synched computers say). Which is actually possible, since it does synchronise to the MSF time signal; perhaps it received a corrupted time signal, but then reset itself when it received a non-corrupted one later.
2. I dreampt of the alarm clock going off and me stopping it, and woke naturally from this, then saw the ...:20 on the clock face and thought it was 8:20 because that's what I was expecting (and 8 and 5 look similar on a seven-segment display)
3. The Painswick telephone exchange is using Time loop logic as part of an experimental new generation of infinite-bandwidth broadband connection.

I suspect (1) is the most likely. But either way, it's incredibly depressing.

Plague! (by sarah)

We have been down with the 'plague' ie bad colds for the last two weeks - its not been good - Jean the first to be ill is just about over it, I the second to catch it am still feeling really grotty though better than the three days I spent in bed, now Al is sickening and has had to drink large quantities of cough mixture 🙁 He gets sinus stuff bad so we have all the joys of post nasal drips with him - not good.

Just thought I'd best blog as I havent for ages!

I've also currently got an acting up pelvis - sigh - its clicking painfully agian. Its my own fault I slipped over last week at the capfire - but like away from the fire and inbetween groups - it was a bit embarrasssing as I couldnt get up and the elderly camp warden and Al dressed as a Yeti found me and helped me up. I was carrying my coffee at the time, so that was split on me and was ouchy hot as the mark on my finger testified the next day!

I also fell out of the van yesturday as I thought our back tire was on fire (long story) this added to cold and damp (I dont care that Al says its warm!) has been a bit of a pain 🙁

Anyway enough of the maoning and self pity - hopefully I'll be back on form with the posts soon!
