Thrilled & chilled

This summer has had its up`s and downs  one that I will remember for various reasons  one of them being the Manchester pride event last month Scot & me were offered a market stall at this years event selling merchandise  T-shirts, wrist bands, jewellery,programs all provided buy various Gay charities and local business as well as Scot&me having T-shirts and wrist bands that 
we designed ourselves with allot of help from friends of ours like Trish who printed the shirts for us .over the weekend of events I helped with fundraising walking round bar`s talking to the punters with your best smile  it was genuine smile most of the time  and just asking for a donation 
of money to put in my bucket we more or less stuck together in case people got abusive or over friendly did get a grope of some but that`s expected sometimes after a few hours of this someone took over so we could have a few beers I was a little merry by the end of the night .The stall on the next day went brilliant all our T shits sold out quickly we only made 50 all of different sizes as well as the one`s we we given to sell and by the end we only had a few things left  we counted up how much we took and came to a grand total of £742 not bad going  I will admit we wanted to win who took the most money contest but that was over a thousand ££ needed a bigger stall basically but 
all together the markets raised well over 30 thousand pounds and the whole event over the 10 days of various events over a million was raised and we are bloody proud to be part of that .

This has meant so much    To me its not just about raising money it`s also about raising awareness of who you are  and providing support and information to others .

This song  gets me dancing when am happy or drunk thay usually go together

I wont bore the TITS of you

it has been a while I know have a fair bit to mention  will be easier if I did several so I dont bore you.
DAD.
he`s better after his heart scare several months ago but it has taken its toll in several ways like he`s unable to drive for long periods because of the medication he is under guess that's understandable  he loved driving that was his job driving across the country doing deliveries of building materials but was made redundant in January  he has now decided to take early retirement .he`s been sensible with money took out several pensions years ago     he also decided to move home used to live in a large house but put that up for sale  and renting a bungalow so no more stairs to get up  all on one level  also the bungalow has a huge garden something dad has always wanted  and a shed  keeps him out the way also grandson Joshua keeps him busy 18 months old so bit of a handful  Sharon his wife has been fantastic with everything that has happened with dad she really has been his rock and still manages to hold down he job as a doctors receptionist   though she has reduced her hours so she can be with dad  more  wish people would give me this sort of commitment  when am older .
Been to a few Football matches going to see Sheffield Wednesday I must be dreaming hear because at the moment were doing really really well
