My thoughts and prayers go out to those who died and were hurt in last nights crash. A bunch of folk enjoying a few drinks and live music, and this happens....tradegy!!!
And a massive shout out to those fantastic Glaswegians who all helped in the rescue.

I spent the afternoon with my legs wired up to my muscle stimulator whilst listening to music.
Breakfast - None
Lunch - Chicken & sweet corn sandwiches x 2, 500ml bottle of water
Dinner - (ditched the pizza) Chicken pie, potatoes, peas, carrots, 500ml bottle of water

Even a night in bed and not on sofa doesn't help me sleep, so it must be sleeping on my own that gives me this issue. I got up early and fell asleep in my reclining chair for a good part of the day.
I'm still waiting to hear on my infusion but I have noticed that since I kicked Gilenya, I am more lethargic.
So tonight Dawn came to visit me with the kids...little cuties. Takeaways all round though, I have to get stricter with myself.
Breakfast - None
Lunch -,None
Dinner - Halh of a 10" Spicy Chicken Pizza, Donnor Kebab, Chips, Glass of Pepsi

After 2am....
After 2am and I'm wide awake as usual. Normally I would be watching a movie or on Facebook but I gotta admit I'm not on Facebook as often as I used to be.
If your reading this, are on Facebook and enjoy Horror Movies...I run a very successful Group on Facebook with nearly 2,600 members!!! It's called 'All Things Horror' so join us if your interested. I have to thank my Admins who have kept it going when I go AWOL...so thank you Maria, Rhonda, Jen, Gordon & Dax....thanks!!!
Going to listen to some music me thinks.

Again a terrible nights sleep....why!!! And the tv sucks during the night as I don't have satellite in my bedroom :-(
So I called time on laying in bed and got up, spending time on the internet trying to find things to decorate my new pad. As well as having to get the bathroom converted into a wetroom, I need to widen the interior doors slightly to make getting around easier. I'm going to have part of the walls taken down and have disappearing sliding doors fitted, the ones that slide into the wall cavity space...practical and cool.
Dawn visited again today with more filled rolls and food for my dinner....thanks again babe. We shopped online for Christmas gifts for her twin girls which was fun, followed by a movie. We watched a great funny Zombie movie called 'Doghouse' (yes I have a thing for zombies lol)
Tonight I watched the 2 Manchester teams play football and tinkered on the stock exchange. After this I watch a movie called 'Pacific Rim'....great effects but I was disappointed.
Breakfast - None
Lunch - 2 x Tuna Mayonnaise & Cucumber Rolls, 500ml Bottle of Coke
Dinner - 2 x Steak Pies, Potatoes, Carrots, & Garden Peas, Fruit Trifle, 500ml Bottle of Water

My MS was the same as usual today but I will be commencing a better fitness routine with the help of my girlfriend Dawn. So exercise was non existent today, mainly due to the fact I had a terrible nights sleep last night.
Dawn visited me this morning with 5 fresh filled rolls, she makes sure I eat right...sometimes lol, we watched a couple of movies and had a chilled out day. First up we watched 'American Mary' which we both enjoyed but not so much the second movie 'Cockneys vs Zombies'.
Connor got a great report at parents night, I'm a very proud daddy. He is being moved up a group for maths, reading & spelling...clever boy.
Breakfast - None
Lunch - 2 x Tuna Mayonnaise & Cucumber Rolls, 500ml Bottle of Diet Irn-Bru
Dinner - Tuna Mayonnaise & Cucumber Roll, Ham & Coleslaw Roll, 500ml Bottle of Water

So again I have lapsed in keeping my blog up to date as things have been crazy. I'm going through a separation which has added tons of stress which doesn't do my MS any favours, but I'm happy to report I have met a lovely woman and we are now in a relationship, she accepts me for who I am, my past and of course my disability to which she is an amazing help.
So I had to secure the services of a second solicitor (costing thousands!!!) this time to handle conveyancing, selling my half of the home to wife and I put a written offer in for a house and my offer was accepted :-)
Exercises went out the window today but chose to spend time in my sunroom listening to music.
I didn't eat much today but what I had was...
Breakfast - Roll with Butter, Cup of Tea
Lunch - Tomato Soup, 500ml Bottle of Water
Dinner - Roll with Cheese & Pickle, 500ml Bottle of Water

Woke to find myself 'stiff' again....my leg of course!!! This lasted the bulk of the day, I will be contacting the MS nurse to discuss, beginning to think that it may be associated with the medication Baclofen, one of those drugs where you need to find the level that suits yourself. I decided against exercising today and my friend brought round a large McDonalds breakfast for me, I ate too much but it was a nice change.
So lazy day today watching movies but before all this I have another 'grump' with apple. So I bought Connor the latest iPod touch and surprised they don't include a main plug for charging, sure they supply a USB lead for charging, but a plug should be supplied for all it costs. Took delivery of an iPod mains charger and a docking station for my wee guys Christmas.
Today's movie viewing were Batman - The Dark Knight & The Dark Knight Rises, every time I watch Heath Ledgers performance as The Joker, I can't help being both amazed and saddened he is no longer with us...what a performance!!!
Breakfast - McDonalds Scrambled Egg, Sausage, Hash Brown, Sausage & Egg Muffin, Drink of Sprite (told you it was a large breakfast lol)
Lunch - Spicy Mexican Chicken Baguette, 500ml Bottle of Water
Dinner - Spicy Chicken Pizza, 500ml Bottle of Water

I know some of you have been following my MS battle through my blogs and I have made some good friends through this but I am aware reading about a guy with the same problems daily (mainly) eating the same stuff..lettuce, seeds & shit can get boring, I thought I would mix it up a little....MS issues, diet and stuff from my general day...I'm not going to pretend I'm exciting....but I am bored hence this blog lol.
I slept on the sofa and slept badly. Fell over at 2am and awake before 4am....wtf!! My MS symptoms today are the same as always, stiff leg, knee bending issue...but other than that I feel peachy lol. I exercised to a 30 min playlist I created and finding the squats getting tougher.
Update:- During the time I let my blogs lapse, I have came off Gilenya (MS drug) not been much use to me and going back on the monthly infusions even though I tested positive for the deadly JC Virus...still, something's got to kill us..right?
I bought my son Connor some Christmas presents last week. Got him a 32gb iPod touch, Nintendo DS2, Mario Kart 7 & Fifa 14 games plus Mario DS case and accessories. Hope he likes!!! Just finished updating Connor's iPod touch. It has took a few days but hoping to influence and expand his music taste past Gangham Style lol....so 700 songs, 97 game apps, some Simpsons cartoons & 48 photos of him, his dad and my cars!!!
I wanted to share an issue I had with Apple at the weekend...angered me big style. My iPad 3 of just over a year has developed a fault....no sound!! Contacted Apple who claimed they could repair over the phone but I would have to pay £109.99 for technical support. At the end of the 3 hours and 14 mins phone call, I was told the issue was a hardware problem and not a software one that I paid for...I was raging, since this fee covers software issues on all Apple products for a year, they are refusing to refund my money.
So I gave Connor my old iPad yesterday and he was thrilled. I bought myself the new iPad 5 or iPad Air as it is called yesterday. £546 for the 64gb version....grrrr!! To make matters worse, I woke to find Connor playing his iPad with sound coming out at full pelt...magically repaired itself. To say I was pissed off was an understatement!!!

So I have alway been partial to a bet at the weekend but hardly win so decided to buy and sell shares on the stock market using the plus500 app...fantastic. Initially purchased a £100 of shares and took out £164 total and have shares in USD, Heating Oil & Natural Gas still running.
So having just had dinner, I am going to settle down with a movie or two and more than one beer ;-)
Breakfast - Orange Juice
Lunch - Tuna Roll, 500ml Bottle of Water
Dinner - Smoked Salmon, Kale, Lettuce, Yellow Peppers & Pumpkin Seeds, 500ml Bottle of Water
