Philip (Phil) England

  1st : 1:45am - My stomach feels like its on a spin cycle, my head is running a marathon and I can't seem to sleep 😩 Later - managed to get to Dad's house, its getting harder to go there, need to go back to do last few bits, but a break is needed. 2nd : Feel like I've been running after my mind all night, exhausted, and woke up crying. My back and neck killing me. I feel like shit this morning. 😭 Edit -  I need to get out of bed for my meds, and just discovered my right hip hurts too 😩 Finally.out of bed at around 11am, achy and my mind elsewhere. Been asked to decide on insurance cover for my father's house for the period going forward, how on earth can I even think about that in my mind state? I feel like going back to bed 😥 feel like 🤯 3rd : Day of Dad's funeral - Not too sure how I will get through today. Got a thumping headache and I feel sick again, neck and shoulders in agony and left hip too.  My sister worked wonders for after the funer...

John England was father to Philip and Gill,  and grandfather to Luke, Cody and Crystal.   He was born in February 1943 in Uxbridge,  but sadly passed away in September 2025 in Llanelli. In his life he was a delivery driver who delivered beverages to the Queen Mother, was a green grocer and also a wood machinist, and went door to door selling Kleeneze products too.  He will be missed by all those in his life. My sister worked wonders for after the funeral, and I want to tgank her and my brother in law, as well as the kids and everyone that came to the funeral and the after part too.

New month, sane old problems, September... what will you bring? 1st : Health, bit achy, thumping headache. Issues going on (cant metion them) but.... Waiting on calls 😩 Not knowing whats happening 😩 Not knowing how to proceed 😩 Just need contact thats all, just a reply to an email, a quick text. 2nd : My back is killing me this morning but I have got things to do. Not too sure how I will manage but lets see shall we. Been a long and stressful day, with wmotions pulled from one way to the other. Put my head on the pillow tried to close my eyes, couldn't. Gonna be a long night. Cone on tablets make me drowsy... please   5th : Not been update to my blog last few days due to my Dad being in hospital, sadly he passed away this morning. I wasnt there when he passed, I wanted to be, I am sort of beating myself up for it, but it was out of my control. I think he went when he did so I didn't see it, he knew what I was like when Mum passed. I will miss my Dad. I feel holl...

1st : Another new month. I nodded off about 5pm yesterday, woke at 11:30pm, nodded back off at just after midnight, just woke again. Bit achy this morning, but need to get sorted as have to do tip run with friend at about 10:30am for 11am booking, need to get there for 10am I guess. When you hit a pot hole and do yourself a mischief - back, neck and shoulder pain made worse, you think exercise will help it but no, so a rest will have to be tried instead. Not feeling the best this evening so off for an early night. In sheer agony and feeling sick with it. Nighty night everyone 😔 2nd : Not feeling too good, upset stomach and very achy, that better improve. Things to do later, so must push through. Only I can sneeze and put my back out 😩 had things to do outside this afternoon too. Well I managed to move my tubs outside ahead of the wind that is due from tomorrow until early hours of Tuesday, though my back is now even more achy. 3rd : Not too good but better than yesterday,...

# Fibromyalgia is not nice to live with, it ramps up pain and has so many other aspects including #brainfog #fatigue and the inability to regulate body #temperature, if you know someone who suffers with it, don't knock them until you do your research Thank You   #fibro #disability #pain #chronicpain #restless #interruptedsleep #life

WARNING RANT ALERT (may contain some bad language, those offended by such words please move along) OK, now the snowflakes have left Was driving back from my pet sitting adventures when on the M4 a plonker in a Volvo decided to play leap frog going from one lane to the next and back again, this didn't really get home anywhere. The traffic was busy near the M5 turn off on the M4 and people were trying to get in the heavily congested lane to turn off.  Any waY back to the Volvo, and I was some lorries up ahead and a clear outside lane behind me with a van just in front, I pulled in to it, then the stupid Volvo driver decided to pull in behind me. Knowing the outside lane was clear, I was about to overtake the lorries I decided to go just a little faster than the lorries holding the dweeb in the Volvo up, anyway I could tell he must have been getting fed up as he had gotten so close to my car I could no longer see his number platenor much of his bonnet. I continued at the speed I was g...
