I’ve not been on for a while so I’m sorry I’ve not written any messages to anyone I’ll catch up again soon I’ve been really busy with Rochelle and the babies and I was trying to help with some voluntary work. I feel completely worn out. We are going away this weekend. Chester carers have given us some funding for a break away. We are going to centerparcs at winfell forest. I’ve got my son coming over from Scotland to look after everyone here. Michelle and Frazer xx ---

Oh I hope you have a good time Michelle. With being in a wheelchair most of the time, I find we’re like cars without petrol gauges. We don’t know when we’re done until we actually run out. Best wishes, woof. xx ---

Thanks Don and everyone else for your messages. Centerparcs was lovely unfortunately I didn’t feel great we still had a nice time but it’s a lesson I needed to learn I’ve done far too much the last couple of weeks and felt quite worn out and unwell because of it. Steve you are right about the petrol gauge not working i have been running on empty for a while. Am I in denial over this illness?? I’m not sure it’s almost as if I’ve upped my activities…I feel as if I’m trying to prove that I can do it all…like yes I maybe in a wheelchair but I can match my “normal” friends. It’s not working and I feel quite worn out and sad. I’m not complaining honestly but I think I spoilt our break because of my stupidity. Michelle and Frazer xx
