I've decided to do some more writing on my blog than I did usually! I don't want to leave a five month gap like I did last time!
I'm still job hunting - I'm having real trouble at the minute. It's an issue finding a paid job working with children that's so local when my health is still so (what's the word?) unpredictable at the moment. The job interviews that I have had I didn't get because I didn't have the experience. It knocked my confidence a little bit, but it doesn't stop me searching.
I'm actually not at the charity shop at the moment. Someone actually burnt it down, so I have to wait until it's rebuilt and ready for me to start working there again. I can't exactly work in a place that still has damage from a fire! It's really annoying (and kind of boring), but we'll get there eventually!

It's been months!
I haven't updated this blog for five months now! So I've decided to start it up again. So much has happened in the past few months that I want to write about and I really want to start talking again (even though a lot of people say I talk a bit too much!).
This has been an extremely eventful 2016. I feel like it's flown by - I can't believe it's nearly Christmas already! It hasn't been the best year of my life. In around July of this year, my Grandad was taken into hospital because he wasn't very well. This resulted in lots of hospital visits over the next few weeks.
Then in August, we received the news that Grandad had died in hospital. We made sure that we gave him a good send-off at his funeral though. He was very popular, so he deserved that.
On a lighter note, my VNS implant is working well! My seizures have decreased quite a bit, so although we are still tweaking the levels a bit on my implant, I think we are getting there. Like I have said numerous times before, if you think you can do something, and if you believe that you will do it, you WILL do it!
We went to Blackpool for a little holiday this year. That was a holiday that the four of us really needed. I've never been to Blackpool before, so it was an amazing thing for us all to do together! We walked around on the Comedy Carpet, and we went to Madame Tussauds, plus I managed to do the thing that I have always wanted to do! I danced at Blackpool Tower Ballroom! It was a Christmas present from Mum and Dad, and it was an amazing experience!
In September, we went on another holiday to Lanzarote, and it was great fun! It was a nice opportunity to have a relax and try to forget about all of our troubles. We rode a camel (which was extremely wobbly), but it was brilliant! However, it didn't all run smoothly. When we were out for a walk, I had one of my falls and I fell in some dirt! But look on the bright side, at least it wasn't the road!
It was my auntie and uncle's wedding anniversary and we had a big family party in Leicester! As usual, it was extremely noisy! I always love our family parties - we all have a massive dance together and we all have a really big laugh together!
So I haven't had the best year in the world, but we've had some great times too! We've had three great holidays, plus we got to see the family, AND we're sorting my VNS implant! So I am determined that 2017 will be better! In fact, I will make sure that it's better!
