hi everyone, have been back to the acorn centre today, and got some more clothes and a coat, its amazing the number of ppl who are giving there time freely on a v olunteer basis to help us all, there are also social workers on hand as well as other professionals, and the red cross have been bussed in from out of the area too. we have also been told today that our local tesco store are giving us all a £40 voucher for when we move back in, so that we can get food, cos all our stuff in fridges and freezers will be ruined, the electric was off for a few days, so there will be basically no fit food in our homes when we go back, they are also making food bags up of tinned foods, they gave us a bag today, because obviousley sarah is feeding me, and its to help her. i cant believe just how much help there is for us now, apparantly we have been designated a disaster zone, so the government will be helping as well hopefully. tomorrow, the trafford centre have donated a showing of toy story 3 to all the irlam families, they told us that because sarah has me here, she is eligable to take the kiddies, so they are going to see it at 10 in the morning, im not going cos i cant sit for that length of time, but while there out i will chill, im finding it hard because im normally on my own, and obviously with 3 children its a lively household, so ill benefit more from the peace n quiet while there out, lol. on a down note, im finding it very hard now going up and down the stairs, its a sort of cumulative effect, and im hurting a lot at the moment. but at least im with fam ily and not stu ck in a hotel room on my own, so i have that to be grateful for. anyway thats up to date for now, hopefully they will be starting on the gas mains on monday, fingers crossed i might be home by a week on monday.
