Bradford City 3:1 Aston Villa

Wow, what an amazing game, ok I weren’t there but watched the text rapidly drop down my screen! Bradford City have played three English premiership sides in this cup run so far this season and won them all, they are only a few seasons away from getting back up there.

I reckon a Wembley visit is starting to look very real!!!

City hammer Aston Villa…

Preparing for that new job

Its finally here, I get up in the morning to go to work, what a two and years its been, still not where I would like to be but a job is certainly a brilliant step in the right direction. Remploy and my JSA disability advisor have been great, too much to right at the moment but it will make a very worthy blog about working and being a sarcoid, a rare one in ten sarcoid at that.


One of the first things I needed to do was to make sure I have some reassuring help to keep at work; meds in-case I forget to take them at home, box of tissues, packet of wetwipes for if I need to freshen up after a sarcoid smelly sweat attack, heel supports for my ankles, nail file – I know but sometimes my nails go stupidly brittle and simply snap off, miniature mouthwash for that metallic taste I can get, and a miniature lynx for the future, erm, if I do think of anything else then I will get.


My advisor has been so helpful, here I have been able to get geared up for an office environment, all new direction for me, thing is, I do hope the shirts are appropriate, trousers are great but I wanted the shirts to allow me to some degree be me, oh, erm, maybe not as trendy as I think, or maybe I will make the clothing appear un-trendy ha… My intention is to leave one or two shirts at work, maybe T-shirts too?


The all important ironing, im not actually too bad with an iron, although seven shirts took me close on one hour, but saying that I was cooking as well, talk about multi-tasking, the future wife will love it! Well I must crack on and get my sandwiches put up, and stop panicking, and set my alarm, was I even got an alarm today as I don’t trust my phone to do the business every day, now what else?

The glorious British 2012 summer

Just a little reminder here of that just gone summer, do you remember it? no? nor do I! mind you, we had a superb week in March, in-fact I did this song about sarcoidosis back then by the river Wharfe, if you viewed it then do you remember? no? oh those were the days of March 2012!


This must be the only song in the world about sarcoidosis, it would be great if we got all the sarcoid affected folks to have a listen, affected means as said, you don’t need it to be involved…?

Ah, yes, that reminder of the great British summertime, a raincoat, a camera, erm…


That video is pretty much near to where im pointing in this video, during the floods!


Jeez, my hair, I still have it, but its in a washing detergent box! in-case you missed the event you best check some self clipper attacking here, and just below is the result, hmmm, to keep or not to weep, that is my question, ah yes…

Space…

Space, just so you can not view it straight away…

More space…

Space is so required, one turn of that wheel in the middle of your mouse…

Almost there…

And here you see it…

Thats about a full turn of that mouse wheel!

No, that were about 3/4…

This is about 7/8…

And so…

The hair…

A total transformation of looks

It had to happen, I decided not to get my hair cut after I started being ill, and so times move and change, of course I need an appropriate job and so, here I will show you just how easy it is to cut your own hair made easy…


As you can view, a look here of trying to copy Einstein, but, he had already been there! once those clippers do come out…


You can have a little bit of a play, a good old comb-over, erm, I thought about going out with it and then again…


Such a result onto the towel, I mean, it felt so much lighter, oh should I say emptier! hmmm…


Yes you guessed it, who is this superbly good looking fella? what a massive difference clippers to the hair can do, this could well have cost £10-£20 in the hair-dresser/barbers, but as you can see, clippers work just fine!

On a final note it has been asked about something else, and the answer is no I did not touch them, for further viewing you will need to hold your breath as this is unbelievably not Brazilian and definitely not Hollywood, right, hold your breath…!

July sunshine is such a rare treat

Look what I found at 6:45 this Sunday morning, I feel sure answers would need to be scrutinised if delivered on a postcard, but it was a glorious sight!

Here comes the sun – for a little while…

I bet that you look good on the dancefloor

Superb couple of minutes sounding very underground indeed, carry on guys, your needed!

 

How to cope with bankruptcy and going bankrupt

Thinking of going into bankruptcy and need advice? Most of us believe it will never happen; illness, loss of job, loss of home, folks can have many reasons and it does happen, we go bankrupt and struggle with going through it. For what ever reasons if your debts are continually building you must talk with those who are owed, if you know you cannot pay to clear your debt within lets say five years then its time to make appointments with the CAB or CCCs as both are free. On the other hand, if you are thinking about an IVA then do think very seriously as this can actually delay going bankrupt by five years, whereas in that time you could have been bankrupt and slowly getting life back on track again.
