Urghhhhhhhh!!!!

Hi guys, sorry I've not updated my blog for a while now. My mum had asked me and my sister to strip her walls for her. A big oops moment occurred when we tore off a load of paper ..... Only for half the wall to come down >.< *note- 140 year old houses aren't always sturdy!!!! It's now had to all be knocked back to bare brick so that it can be re-build before its redecorated !!

 Said wall .... Oh dear !!

Unfortunately, during all this, I have managed to set my back and hip into spasm OH MY WORD it's bloody painful !!! Just been back to the dr now and he's given me an injection plus tablets so hopefully it will ease off soon!! This week is too busy for me to be poorly !!!

In other news, we have an emergency appointment with the community paediatrician on Friday !! Kaydens behaviour is going worse and worse. He's hardly sleeping, he's constantly in self destruct mode and I think Friday is going to end up with us looking at medication for him. We didn't really want to take that route, but I'm not sure what options are available. He's going to end up really hurting himself or someone else. 

 Seriously you can not take your eyes off him, his favourite tricks ATM are walking along the banister (big drop!!) holding his own head under the water in the bath, swinging off door frames etc etc :( his extreme behaviour is very worrying. I will keep you updated on that !! For now I'm going to get something to eat, take my painkillers (which will apparently turn my pee pink) and hopefully have a snooze ..... Wish me luck on that one !!!!!!

Unhealthy dependencies !!

Some people are dependant on drugs...,others on alcohol....many on nicotine .....my major addiction is my mobile phone! I am seriously one of these people who can not live without their phone!!! I get panicky and sweat and worry....yet here I find myself totally phone less ...I really could cry... I was walking down the street today and it slipped out of my hand and bounced off the kerb... My screen has smashed but the LCD is also damaged so I can't get any sort of picture...omg I feel lost. Utterly gutted.

I've rang round a few places today and its gonna be £50 to get fixed :'( wondering considering iv not even got 50p at the min!  I REALLY want a job, but with my health issues, no body will employ me :( people think it must be so great to not have to go to work..but it SUCKS!! Especially coz I want to but can't :( tonight I'm feeling very miserable and sorry for myself :( fingers crossed tomorrow maybe better but I'm having the shittest luck lately :(

reviews...whose opinion??

Right, so after deciding I was gonna try my hand at blogging, I also decided I was gonna start doing reviews on places I go or things I read ect... As part of my new little hobby, I have registered to be a agent on BzzAgent (www.bzzagent.co.uk) Their mission is to connect people with leading brands across the world (www.bzzagent.com for our friends over the big pond)

Basically its very simple....you join, you take part in short surveys ...then they contact you and invite you to join in with campaigns... they then send you 'bzzkits' If you agree, you try the product then review it on line for them !!! genius !!!! when you review and do surveys they give you a bzzscore on how well your doing, the higher score you get the more campaigns they send !! Fabby !! This all works on a word of mouth scale (how good is the internet!!!!)

But how much does a review really matter? How much attention do people actually pay to reviews?  After all....a review is only one persons opinion..

The answer seems to be, rather a lot really...I've spent a couple of days casually browsing different sites on line and paying attention to what people have said about different things, practically everywhere has review pages for everything you can possibly imagine !!!

I sat thinking, 'how would this affect my opinion, would I pay a great deal of notice or would I ignore it and go ahead and make my purchase anyway??? To be frank, if I read just one opinion saying something was rubbish, the likelihood is I would ignore it.....if however....there was 9 negative review and lets say 1 positive,,,NO WAY would I buy it!...I would continue to search until I had found a similar product with good reviews !! So yes ! humans are sheep and reviews are VERY important!!!

I am currently awaiting my very 1st bzzkit, which is a john Freda salon perfect colour foam (I even got to choice my own colour)  !! I must admit I am actually very excited !! ....Its almost like waiting for Santa to come !! I've never used john Freda before as
when I have seen it in shops, I have always decided it to be out of my budget, I tend to go for other brands that are known, but on offer in the shops!  As I have long hair, I am very interested to see what sort of coverage it provides, and yes If I do take to it, I am highly likely to pay the extra cost and purchase it again... proving the point that reviews are a major factor in helping people decide what to buy....
