Philip (Phil) England

1st : Went back to sleep after waking at 3:30am, shouldn't have done so, now I have a thumping headache and bad neck and back. Something I forgot..... Oh yes..... Hello August! It may be a new month, but still waiting on closure from my Father's passing, seems to be dragging, just want it all over with, I need to move on now. 2nd : So snug in bed, but must get up, wash load to put on at 10am (hour of free electric), got a slight headache and hip hurting, knee is weak too.... Hope they improve. Feeling a bit sick now I'm up. 10am Update - Think I will go back to bed - Just sneezed, had a digestive biscuit in my mouth, went everywhere, and I hurt my elbow.... Just by sneezing. 3rd : Not too bad today, feeling exhausted and run down, feels humid. Almost went crashing down the stairs. 4th : Feeling achy, sick and a bit tired today, more duvet time or get out of bed?.... Unsure, but it's cloudy this morning and I can't see the sun! - maybe have my tablets in ...

A new month is here, but no changes. STILL waiting on DWP and solicitor to get sorted out, STILL waiting on Wendy's house to be sorted and sold. Really fed up, just want to get on with it, been going on too long. 1st : Was having a nice sleep 😞 guess I should get out of bed. Left hip in agony, as well as lower back, neck in pain too, but things to do. On getting out of bed, discovered my left knee was weak again this morning. NOT a good start to the new month. Afternoon Update - Ok, seems this evening I'm "drop things Phil" yogurts, a roll I made for lunch, and just now my phone on the floor 😕 what gives? Evening Update - That's my day done..... dropped one of my tablets went to vend down to pick it up and my back decided to send a message..... a shooting pain, just what I needed. Bed for me, after I have gabapentin and some cbd oil. 2nd : Achy but it's manageable, I should get out of bed. As I did putting weight on my feet seemed to start my...

Here we go, in to June , the year is really flying by! As we start the 6th month of 2026. Should be the start of Summer today, but the weather isn't playing right.  So, June.... the older I get the quicker the months seem to go by, yet how come some days drag? There's something to ponder..., let me know if you feel the same. 1st : Same old aches and pains, thumping headache to go with them. My left hip is playing up big time after missing a stair yesterday. Got dentist today, so guess I should get up. 2nd : Bit of a strange start, little achy, nothing too bad until I was plodding around Tesco at Neath Abby, some reduced items, and a collision with a woman and her trolly, didn't help matters! Just after getting in the flat, struggling qith the stairs, the heavens opened! 3rd : Owch - neck, shoulder and top of hack hurting this morning and my left hip still don't feel right, and if the headache I have currently is anything to go by, I think either a pressure d...

A new month, how did we get to May already? the year is really flying by! 1st : A bit achy this morning, it's cloudy out and feels a bit muggy too. Have a fab Friday everyone, 1st May already!, good to know some things don't change. 2nd : A bit achy all over, more so my.neck and left shoulder and hip. Bit of a headache but think I slept too heavy last night. Can hear the birds outside, always nice to hear them first thing. Have a super Saturday one and all. 3rd : My left hip is killing, along with my lower back, skin feels tingly and itchy too, it's a Fibromyalgia flare up again. Hate getting these, cause all sorts of other problems pike sensitivity to light (phone brightness is right down low). Need my gabapentin and cbd oil to take the edge off it. 4th : Not long awake, but feeling a bit under the weather this morning, neck is in agony (not surprised as my pillows are all scrunched and all over the place... what did I do in the night?). I've been banking u...

January and February dragged, March flew by, April...., slow down a little 1st : Slow start to it, don't rush me.  Feel like my heart and my mind and my body has been minced up the past months, think I'm starting to put myself back together. My heads been in the shed. Been a bad day for sure. 2nd ; Im feeling like crap, very low, close to tears, sorry can't do today. Update 1 - can't seem to get today started, just lack energy. Update 2 - So managed to get my.tablets taken, managed to make a cuppa. Went outside and sat with the cat from downstairs - it was an effort to get back up stairs again. Had a really bad evening and night, thanks to Babs for helping me and also Neil, kove you both. 3rd : Slept for most of the day, there are days that you just yave to. 4th : Happy Birthday to my sister. Lets see how today goes shall we. Feeling a bit liw, achy too, will take it easy. 5th : Happy Easter! Went to my sisters today, dispite a lack of sleep, not sure wher...

Another month, here we go..., just want to start by saying... Happy St. David's Day Dydd Gŵyl Dewi Hapus 1st : I should get up, very achy this morning, I over did pottering about yesterday. 6pm - In agony this evening, pain at level that has stopped me in my tracks, need to get my recycling put out too. 2nd : Hips and lower back in agony this morning... Must get out of bed to get to my pain killers and cbd oil. None left by the side of my bed. 3rd : I should get out of bed, a bit achy, and going out today to somewhere, don't know where or on what roads either. Do want to go somewhere I've not been but that practically rules out lots of places within striking distance of a day out! 4th : But tired, and neck hurts. Managed to get out in to garden to potter about, but that was cut short when I got a thorn in a finger by the side of a finger nail, only little, but brought a stop to what I was doing. Bed early. 5th : Bit achy today, but must head out as I need to ...

My thoughts on the USA, ISRAEL & IRAN WAR It's not looking good is it? Price at the pumps going up, gas going up, heating oil going up. Petrol and Diesel going up will affect every other price too from your milk to take aways and parcel deliveries. Iran said that they would stop firing on Arab neighbours - this hasn't happened. Trump says the war has been won, clearly an out and out lie as the #USA and #ISRAEL are still hitting out at #IRAN. The environmental impact is emense, with fire burning and oil getting in to the sea. What are your views? do leave a comment. Keep checking out updates on www.itsmyblog.me.uk

1st : Made it through January, that dragged for sure. Slept in today, well it was Sunday. A little achy, nothing too bad. Was in bed by 8pm, and watched some Rizzoli and Isles on Amazon Prime Video. 2nd : 4:40am - Woken up very itchy, feels awful, want to scrape out the inside of the bones in my arms and left hip ... damn fibro flare up. 7am - I try to get out of bed for a pee and my left knee plays up... damn it. Was in bed early this evening. 3rd : I should get out of bed, but am so snug under the duvet... Feeling a bit achy, hips and shoulders mostly. 4th : Bit of a meh day, feeling a little achy and totally meh. 5th : 6:30am - Feeling down today, just feel like a bed day, but need to get up for my tablets. I aching from head to toe, and feel very itchy, plus irritable. 8:50am - Guess I should try to get the day moving. Need to try this magnesium spray that is supposed to help woth aching joints. 6th : Very achy, things I must get done today, here's hoping a show...

1st : Well here we go, new year, same aches and pains, new stick and new attitude. Lets do this. Abwalk to start the year off, up to the top of Kilvey Hill, coughed up green gunk which felt good. Went to bed early as was feeling down. 2nd : Woke up in the early hours in floods of tears, think I was thinking about my Dad and the scattering of his ashes, seem to also remember thinking of Mum at some point in the night. Been feeling down and achy most of today, don't think it will be too long before I return to my pillow and duvet. I need to pop to the shop but right now I can't be bothered..... NOT a good start to 2026 is it? 3rd : Woke up to a dusting of snow.... it sure is cold but pretty. Very achy this morning, and feeling down. 4th : Things to chase up this week with the solicitor and estate agent, also with the hospital about my Ankylosyn Spondylitis (by now should have been on new injections), and need to speak to the doctor. Also got eye appointment. Lets get...

Here we go, the last month of 2025, and what a year it's been. Going on holiday for my birthday followed by meeting someone special and Dad's health taking him from us. Sure has been a rollercoaster if emotions. I hope December can turn rhe year around. 1st : Started the month off with a lay in bed, weather atrocious anyway. Finally up at just after 11am, with my right arm feeling like a dead weight, strange as I sleep on my left side, lower back hurts and eight hip too. Managed to put the tree and other decs up too. 2nd : One of those mornings when all you wanted to do was have another half hour sleep, and it turns into two, must get up and out of bed, need to get my prescription and do a few things. Very achy, but I need to get on, so must push through. 2pm - Pushed through, kind of wish I didn't, my left shoulder giving me great pain, along with my left knee, going up stairs I almost fell backwards, thought I may have cracked the eggs in the bag when I dropp...

So 2025 almost done. This year has been a rollercoaster of emotions for me. Celebrating my 50th birthday with my best friend and helper / supporter, Neil. Flying off to France and staying in the city of Metz, birthday day trip to the city of Luxembourg and then a drive to Strasbourg, when driving through the French countryside villages saw nests on various poles with storks in them, an amazing sight to see.  There was a glorious few days of warm weather, which really helped with my aches and pains. While I enjoyed my birthday getaway, at the back of my mind was my Dad. Back home and I had to help more with my father, driving him to shops or getting his shopping in and trying to keep the kitchen clean. I had to help him get his driving licence back, I got him a blowy thing that he used and it helped him for a bit and he seemed to get his life back, getting out driving about without my help, he was on top of it until he gets a cold. August I met a guy online, met up, decided to spend...
