Summer is 1 and already pushing buttons!!!
Posted Sep 20, 2014
Okay, I'm an hour early with her Burpday, but I won't be online tomorrow... So much to do and so little time to do it in!
Summer 
is progressing well, doing all the stuff most babies of her age do (except she's like her Nana and very slow producing teeth, she only has one through with the corner of another showing next to it. According to my mother, I didn't have any teeth until after my burpday (erm).
No sooner has she found her hands and knees, than she's already on her feet and 
around the furniture and getting Gangad to walk her up and down the garden
She is very good at pushing buttons 
. She managed to change the qwerty keyboard on Gangad's mobile, together with almost completing a new email address for him before he stopped her 
. He has no idea how she managed to move the 'z' and 'y' keys on the keyboard and nor could he get it to change back. Summer, on the other hand, had hold of the mobile for another two minutes and the keyboard returned to normal 
Gangad is very embarrassed 
She also has managed to show Nana a lot of places not previously seen via Tivo! 
If Nana can stay awake long enough, she just might come back tomorrow and tell you about the paarrrtttaaayyy! 
Oh! Just a quick one 
for now....

It seems....

... according to the woman at the local Job Centre, that I do not have agoraphobia and that for the last 14 years I have just been putting obstacles up as an excuse, otherwise I would not have been sitting in her office!
Amazing! So that is why I couldn't help my mother for the last 2 years of her life, eh? That is why I could not attend her bedside for the last 2 weeks of her life?? Absolutely Amazing!!!
This was my first attendance to the Job Centre under the ESA (wrag) system. Why she needed me to attend I've no idea. Seems my benefit will run out and totally stop at the end of March 2015, unless my appeal for reconsideration (Mandatory Notice) to be put into the 'support group' is successful - in which case whatever she told me doesn't matter anyway!
Oh! And she only needs to see me twice during this twelve month period, so she will send for me in October so she can explain everything all over again. I thought I was attending to see what they could do for me... What a stupid bitch I am!
So during the 20 minutes or so interview, where she only wanted to know if my husband worked and if we owned our own home, this woman managed to completely overturn whatever my GP or therapists have said over the years and knocked me back into a deep depression. I cried all the way home and have been crying all night!
I paid for a copy of my medical records and during 1999 and 2003 there are at least 5 letters and numerous notations about my agoraphobia... I could look further but it's not exactly pleasant reading.
Just a couple of months ago I found this link http://www.nhs.uk/Conditions/Agoraphobia/Pages/Symptoms.aspx my symptoms are a combination of some or all of each section.
But of course.... I don't have agoraphobia!
Please note that lil will not be around very much until she can 'pull herself together'. She will continue to behind the scenes with gurus and other areas where she doesn't actually need to 'think' about what she is doing!

I've been so busy that I almost forgot the date
Yes folks, it has been *that* long since lil ol' me joined h2g2 as a fresh-faced newbie
So shy and befuddled with the size of the place
Now look at me!
Still pressing the wrong buttons! 
We haven't got a Nana smiley - yet 
. Summer continues to come on in leaps and bounds! 
I shall be imbibing the usual chardonnay and making a toast to my friends, current and absent! *hic*
Happy New Year, Everyone!!!

We almost had her giggling earlier, but it just got caught in her throat.
I can't wait to hear her tomorrow
