What did i get myself into?

-
I'm sure last year i blogged about the idiots next door thinking it would be 'fun' to kick down my fence... I obviously didn't think it was much fun considering *I* was going to be the one who had to replace it. After lots of deliberation i decided that i wasn't going to pay over £400 for a proper cemented in one, i was going to do it myself.... Hmm.... Big mistake!?

I'm a little bit stupid really to say the least. I thought it was going to be as easy as take the old one out and push the new one into the old holes...that would have been brilliant, however, the fricking holes didn't match up....ANYWHERE!

I have just spent 3 hours...or more....hammering in new holes out of an old fence piece. Oh my lordy, i have hammered my thumb, my finger, had a piece of metal in my thumb, splinters everywhere and this is only PHASE 1. It's still wonky, i have to bracket them together (after i buy screws) and then paint the bloody thing.

However, the good thing is, is that i have done this ALONE. No man has helped me.... This is when i am good, i can cope nicely without a man having to do this kind of shit for me.

Looks good Sarah :)
I put a teeny bit of fencing in round the back of ours, only a bit to make a nice patch for flowers by Jays play house.. Would I put in a similar fence on the front.. No way! lol We def need a new fence on the front too, I think its only the wood stain (and a few bent nails hammered in by moi), thats holding it all together now! lol.. Hope you're proud of yourself :)
I like doing bits and peices without the need of a fella too.. My next plan is to put up a shelf, its probably nothing big to someone else, but its a big deal for me.. Where to begin is another matter though.. Polyfiller at the ready!!
New blog looks good too btw!

From the mouth of an EX agoraphobic

-
A friend of mine yesterday pointed out what a person had written on their blog about being agoraphobic. Said person is an EX agoraphobic...this is what was said. "Agoraphobia is a selfish state of mind. Its completely "curable", and yet some people just wallow in their own self-pity and will never ever get over themselves and recover. When you are so worried about yourself all the time, how can you possibly be a good mother to someone else? Or a good wife/girlfriend/friend? I've unfortunately been the agoraphobic, and I've been the agoraphobics friend. As the friend, it was miserable. Nothing was ever about anything else but them. It was annoying and frustrating. And completely in their hands to change it, but they wouldn't. Because they're too selfish and self centered. Those aren't qualities people like in a person." Opinions please?

It DID get worse..

...now there's a shocker! I have spent the entire evening in hospital. We had to call an ambulance, these feelings in my heart were insane. I was sat in the back on the ambulance and they did all my obs. I was tachycardic, my BP was really high (usually its stupid low) and my ECG was showing Atrial fibrillation, meaning the top two chambers of my heart are beating faster than the bottom two. I was put on oxygen as well because my breathing was a little bit crappy. The medic man stuck a candular in my hand and hit a valve apparently, my hand swelled up in seconds, it was so painful. Got to the hospital and did all the necessary things and then we had to wait...and wait...and wait. Where they'd stuck that needle in the back of my hand and hit the valve, it started going dead. I couldn't feel 4 of my fingers! I called to get someone to take the bugger out. I'm left with a lovely bit blue bruise this morning. My step-father was called to pick us up because we thoug...
