Had a bad start to the week....a few things had happened over previous days and I think the way my mind is working at the moment things seem a million times worse than they really are and I then get upset, a bit emotional and in a bit of a state....

The week got better though...

On Tuesday I was back at the doctors, we had a lovely long chat about how I have been and what progress I have made and we agreed that I should try and reduce my dosage on my AD's which is wonderful, instead of one every day I am reducing to one every other day so fingers crossed this works and that the change doesn't affect me too much, a step in the right direction at least.

Then, on Thursday I took a big step and went into town. In 7 months I have been to Pizza Express twice, sneaking in so no one saw me - sounds a bit crazy doesn't it!
So...this was a massive step for me. I walked, with my husband, into town and to The Fleece for lunch, we then walked halfway back up the high street and into Boyes to buy a few things I needed, and back home.
It probably doesn't sound alot to you but it took alot for me to do this, my heart was beating really fast and I was scared incase I saw anyone, but thankfully it went well (i did see one person but we detoured round her ~ not someone I wished to speak to anyway!). This is a great achievement for me and means that perhaps I can try again next week.

My mum messaged me on Thursday evening to tell me about this man that had been on The One Show that night. I've read his story as I missed the show but basically he has come into alot of money and is giving away £1000 per day to random people!

He says " I decided to pass on my good luck to others by giving away £1,000 every day. I planned to give the money to complete strangers - someone different every time - and all I'd ask is that they'd do something positive with the cash " .... so with that I have 'liked' him on Facebook and am following him on Twitter, he is now following me too - good sign?!

Wouldn't it be great if he could help us with our fundraising....but then I think, this sort of thing doesn't happen to people like us...
