So very nearly over!

As I went to bed at 3am I was not up until 9.30 *shock Horror*

It’s day 5 of the school holidays & 4 kids have not given me a second to sit & write.
So I’ve sorted the baby, gaffa taped the eldest up, ok I didn’t do that but the thought has crossed my mind several times a second all week !!!!!!

So I left my blog yesterday In a bit of a sulk, deflated, emotional & tired but still got on with tweeting because raising money to Stand Up To Cancer means so much to me, as soon as I got on twitter BANG I was on my mission from god! I started off with Right Said Fred again, Fred is good for RT’s & you know every time I see the fellas from now on I’m going to say them words .. yep you guessed, theres me mate Right said Fred !!!!!

So desperate measures called & I got on with tweeting all the names who I’ve name dropped earlier in the week & bless them for giving me the time of day! I did promise that they would not hear my bleating pleads for a RT again … I have to apologize for Twalking … I feel I may be looked upon as a bunny boiler but it’s all for a good cause! Though I do think I’ll have to change my name by deed poll tho haha

I’m not in any way any of the above BUT I am like a dog with a bone when I’m onto something worth fighting for! I did gain a celebrity £50 donation yesterday morning how exiting, I was too drained to do that running outside thing so I sat & wept with happiness instead! I’ll not name drop this kind person, I would not like to be responsible for any other OCD bunny boilers beating down their walls with bleating pleas … I’d never forgive myself, as that’s the ONLY celeb that’s donated they will know who they are & I thank them from the bottom ov me heart! Kiss kiss.

All afternoon PING PING PING I was getting RT’s left right & center, I got a RT a follow & a personal message from Mr Michael Barrymore, Harold Donald eventually noticed my cries & he gave me a cheeky RT <;<;<; ohh happy days, like like like like !!!!

I also got a RT from the cutest little boy Mason, he is 8 & raising money to buy gifts for children with Cancer, what a little star he is, he has raised thousands of pounds, I'm proud to be his new mate! Speaking of mates I've had some of the loveliest comments, tweets you name it & from absolute strangers, I'm so happy that I did this silent week on facebook truth be known I've never bleedin taked so much in me wole life! Serious, I didn't do too much on twitter before this & I've never dreamed of blogging !!!!

I had the loveliest lass who is 15 do me a video to help this cause, it is at the top of this page in meet my dad, then by chance I met someone who knows my cousins in England … Her boys went to school with them, she is on holiday in France next year not too far from me & we are got to meet up!, this all came about because Colleen Nolan gave me a RT, small world ay!

So today I've been on one again in old twitter land, my first tweet was from me lovely mate Ross King, that man has given me chufties a fair few times this week, he's even taken the time to tweet me direct which hasn't happened too often, Hats off to you Mr King I'll love you forever !!!!

My best tweet so far has to be from someone called John Michael Quinn, he fessed up that he donated & tweeted me because I said I'd worked my ass off, I'll have to remember to use more body part phrases for the 3 hrs & 24 minutes I have left of my Facebook silence !!!!!!! I think I'll be too tired to even update my status tonight, ok maybe not cos I have too many names to drop 😉 & my grand total to share, I also want to thank me Facebook buddies, they have donated an incredible amount to my silence <;<;<;<;<; like like like. I also need to share that I'm having fish & chips for tea!

So off I go to do some more Twalking 😉

EXPECT ME

Kiss kiss

Day 6 not a good start to the day!

My head hurts from crying myself to sleep & I have to keep blowing my nose as I’ve got myself all snotty! I have no celeb tweets to do a cartwheel about or any more donations towards my Facebook silence to Stand Up To Cancer! WTF is going on?

Yesterday was an emotional day & I was in noddy land as soon as my head hit the pillow. I didn’t have any time to think of the days events I was just too & three exhausted!.

Hearing an old lady bleat on about her 73 year old husband who is in the latter stages of blood cancer was incredibly difficult. She is trying to get her head around her first Christmas without the man she has been married to for 50 years, He is in hospital but his wish was always to die at home, he is too ill to come home & she is clearly devastated. I felt my eyes fill with water & I got that lump that I fought to swallow out & as hard as it was, I didn’t cry, I let her cry all over me instead, I’ve never met this little old lady before, it’s strange that I am doing this event & met her!. It’s all because someone who does not know about my event (i best get emailing them for a donation lol) sent a global email asking someone to pick this ladies shopping up, I offered & arranged to collect & deliver for her, as it goes someone else kindly offered as they only live 5 minutes away & my little old lady friend forgot to tell me Ooops, I only found out when I arrived at the depot for collection. It didn’t matter I still went to her house which is a 40 mile round trip,

I only called in for a quick cup of tea, I went the opposite direction to home as I knew this old lady was having a difficult time, I had frozen stuff in the boot of my car but this didn’t matter I bought 2 big bags of frozen chips that worked as a temporary freezer! I arrived to the little old lady I had visualized, zimmer frame, hairy chin n all, I sat there & I listened to this poor old ladies life story! Two hours later I had to leave, I didn’t take the euro for the milk I had picked up or the diesel money she offered, I just gave her the hug she clearly needed & drove home chatting about her with my eldest daughter who is 14, little old lady had never had children, we learned that she lost 8 babies one being a girl at full term 40 years ago, she even remembered the date, She talked about it like it was yesterday. How awful.

Whilst we were talking in the car my daughter said Isn’t it so sad, she’d have made a lovely grandma, Isn’t it sad that she lost her daughter, Why does my grandma not care mum?
I go silent, she’s right, my mum does not care. It breaks my heart that all my life I have met great parents & people who would have made great parents & grandparents & I have a mother alive & well who isn’t interested. It hurts! Remember I have no dad either which is why I am doing this, my Stand Up To Cancer Event is in memory of My Dad, Prostate cancer killed him, I don’t think I’ll ever get over it, I’d no where near spent as much time with him as I’d have liked its so sad. He had faults, Both my parents have faults, don’t we all? I’d rather take them warts n all & have them in my life, People tell me to move on, How? how do I move on from something I care about so much? That’s a question nobody can ever answer! I just can’t let go :/.

We arrived home when it was dark, I didn’t have time to check my email or tweet any well known, well liked, too tweeted out or damn ignorant celeb when I got in!

Evenings are loud & manic in the Lomas household not forgetting it was Halloween!

So, I run in put the oven on, my eldest baths the baby whilst I put a months worth of soggy shopping away, feed the dogs, cook tea, then check on progress andddddddddd

There wasn’t any! NONE no Tweets no Donations !!!!!! I did send a few cheeky tweets to the celebs I had named & shamed before I went to bed … This morning my inbox was empty, No Tweets, No Donations …… What can I do to step this up a bit?

How funny is this, I’ve only gone & got myself a new friend called Jessica Lomas, how strange is it to see a tweet from Jessica Lomas to Jessica Lomas, we both thought we were the only ones! When I did a search there are LOADS of us, How very rude! She is learning English as she is Mexican, I’m not too sure my blog is brilliant English for her to be reading but she seems to be liking it!

Sooooo, I’ve got 29 hours of my silence left! I’m not giving up, my cupboards are full. When I’ve sorted my little lady I’m right back on with tweeting …….

EXPECT ME !!!!!!
