Apologies for being such a bad blogger, been absolutely hectic these past few weeks.
The last post I made was from Costa Del NHS at the end of March. I was in for just over a week that time. They transferred me to the other hospital in Leicester because they didn't know what to do with me anymore, so I ended up there for a few days. It wasn't too bad this time, apart from the woman beside me who snored for England. I ended up going walkabout at silly o'clock again just to get away from her. It's all good though, and the lungs are really behaving at the minute. I've managed to reduce my prednisolone down to 10mg which is the lowest I've ever had it, so I'm well chuffed. I've managed well over a month out of hospital now, so we'll see how it goes. If I end up back in before Glastonbudget then my Senior Services manager at Red Cross won't let me go and I won't be a happy bunny. He's already really suspicious of me going on big duties. Mind you, yesterday he gave me a kiss on the cheek. It embarrassed me enough to make me go bright red, and that doesn't happen often!
In other news! Me and Chris have been going out 6 months now! It's a big deal because it's the longest relationship I've ever been in. It's his 22nd Birthday next week, and we're going to Legoland on Saturday. I got him some lego, a photo of us both and some syringe pen things for his birthday. He knows about the lego, but doesn't know about the rest, so I'm looking forward to him opening it. Bless, he deserves more, but I can't afford it. I may buy him something when my EMA bonus comes through in July or something before Glastonbudget. We'll see.
I was at a big Red Cross duty in Peterborough yesterday. Truckfest. It was boring as hell, but it was a good chance to take some pics with my new camera. There's some pics on my Facebook page, but some of them are from other times, I've labelled them from when they are so you shouldn't get too lost :)
Anyway, I've got to go to bed now, I'm up early for college in the morning. Laters!

Long time no blog.
Today is now Friday. In my eyes it's still Thursday. Does that give you some kind of indication just how screwed up my sleep patterns are? I'm meant to be in college in 4 hours. I think the term is "I'm Screwed." Just thought that would make for an interesting start!
It's been a bit of a shit November. I know I posted on the 20th, but it was a bit of a rubbish post if I'm honest, so I'd better fill people in on what's actually happening in my life. In a month I left where I was living, moved into a house with 5 other people, been in hospital with my asthma and been faced with a disciplinery in college. It's all going a bit pear shaped at the minute!
First of all, Moving out! Well the fight that had been coming between me and Emz finally happened. I think it had been coming for a while. It just wasn't meant to work out I don't think. Me and her mum were never going to see eye to eye. I got major pissed off though when her mum accused me of breaking her laptop. I nearly screamed at her. So the outcome of that one was that my grandparents bought her another one. But I moved into a big house with 5 other people. My room's quite small, but I like it. It's a nightmare to keep tidy though lol and I'm having to learn how to use a washing machine which is always fun considering I've done my own washing about 4 times in my life. But I'm getting there, slowly but surely I'm learning that I'm not as immature as people see me.
So yea, hospital lol. I think it had been building up, and I probably should've gone in sooner, because my sats were to be honest, shit lol. They did two Arterial Blood Gases, which incase you don't know, hurt like hell. They left me with the worlds most impressive bruises. I stayed in for 2 nights and then got home. I wasn't very happy though that I wasn't able to bounce straight back to doing everything that I wanted to, i.e college. I see Emz and wonder why I can't do what she does and just go straight back to full health after being in hospital. It's shit, and it took a lot for me to just sit in bed and rest. Anyone that knows me knows how hard it is for me to be calm. Having to ask for help was a fucking nightmare for me, and I plan on not having to do it again.
This week has been a bit shit. My asthma was playing havoc for 2 days, so was off college. Went in on wednesday then on Wednesday night/Thursday morning started vomiting so was off Thursday. Today is going to be fun considering I've had no sleep. I've got a meeting tomorrow night with the youth club I volunteer at then I'm coming home and going to bed. I'm on duty on Saturday, at a Christmas meal on Sat Night, then on duty again on Sunday morning, so it's going to be a fun weekend!
It's all good though, because my dearest boyfriend is going to be there! :D

Shameful
I know, I know. I'm a disgrace. But I do have a half decent excuse, honest! I think I've got about 3 big things to tell you all about!
1) I've got a boyfriend! His name's Chris and he's 21. He goes to the Red Cross with me, and is training to be a paramedic. Which made last night interesting when my chest went to hell and he attacked me with his steth and sats monitor. I wasn't impressed. But I really like him, and would love to make it last with him. I don't think he realises just how much he means to me. He gives me a reason to get out of bed in the morning.
2) I've got a proper job! I am now a McDonalds employee. Only a student can get away with that really. I'm not sure whether I like it or not yet. I can't really keep up with it. I was on drinks last Sat. In the busiest McDonalds in town on half term, it made for an interesting day... But I'm on 9-6 on Saturday, so we shall see.
3) I passed all my first aid assessments! I'm now a qualified first aider! I got my kit last night and my ID card came in the post this week, so I'm well chuffed. I'm going on my first duty as a qualified person on Sunday, which I'm really looking forward to. It should be good!
I don't think I've any other major news. I was in London on Tuesday for Asthma UK's youth conference which was great fun. It was held in the Houses of Parliament and it was good fun. I'm going back on Tuesday coming for a Question Time with the Prime Minister which should be good fun!
Anyway, I need to do some college work, laters!
