and all with no real training just sheer determination.

Much respect to a lovely lady.

I tried hard to arrange for Deb to participate in our local self care event, 3 weeks from now, but alas she was already booked that afternoon.

Deb is well known now amongst the two GP practices in my town. I asked that she be invited some weeks back but it didn’t happen, I think largely owing to the people who set these events up are over stretched with dealing with a wide spectrum of medical conditions and have a long “to do list”. Having said that it seems that the date was already pencilled in to Debandez calendar as a matter of monthly routine.

I've always been determined. But this mission like no other.
Example:
When I fought against the government for what was rightly mine (getting paid for all the additional hours I put in as manager of Blackpool central on the last census) I won. I wrote a 6 page a4 to the guy right at the top. I had made notes along the way. My initial appeal to area manager was rejected with a 'no money in the pot' so I went over them. On my birthday 6th June I was in Greece. Got a call from the man himself. Asking for my account details. Got £3000 paid in. Brilliant. But what about my holiday pay that goes with the extra hours worked I asked. No chance. Ok. So I took them to court. Small claims. I won. Happy as Larry.

We will get there. In this together. No i in team.

I would have loved nothing more. It's monthly diabetics meeting. Missed the last 2 due to other commitments. They have asked me to do a talk. Wouldnt mind but they have heard it all before!!! Cant let them down. Lovely bunch. Getting great results!
