Where do our phobias stem from?

I have a few phobia's,the biggest is having anyone touch my eyes..eek.. and also cant have anyone putting tubes ect up my nose or doing anything to my mouth.

Where did these phobias come from and can you get over them.?

Mine came from childhood.
I had severe bronchitis as a child and had to have a spray up my nose on a regular basis...horrid it was.
When I was twelve I had operations on my eyes and also as a child had a very traumatic experience at the dentist...voila...phobias.

In the last two years it was discovered that I have a meninginoma on my optic nerve sheath..eek.I had gamma knife radiation therapy on it and two years later its still not growing..wheeeeee.(last scan result was yesterday)..thank you to the wonderful staff at Barts hospital,the Gamma Knife center and Whitechapel hospital..especially to Mr A..my consultant.. who made me feel so safe.

Anyway..I digress...

Having to have people look into my eye was not a pleasant experience at all but it had to be done.
Has it got rid of my phobia?...no,but at least I can tolerate eye drops now and visit an optician.

The other two?...never...I dont care what happens no tubes will ever go up my nose or down my throat...never.

Moths and spiders ..especially moths.. terrify me.No idea where those phobias came from but am training myself to catch spiders in jugs and put them out.Moths...nope...cant be in the same room as one.

Oh well..small steps.

Reality TV

Big brother...The Apprentice...X factor...and now I'm a celebrity...I love them all.

I like to pass instant judgement on the participants and then see if I am right as time goes on...usually am.(big head).

This time on sleb I have taken an instant dislike to Kim and Sam.
Kim because she is 'acting'...just be yourself woman... and Sam because after she did the spider task...ewwwwwwwwwwwww,(brave girl for that)...she just wouldn't shut up when it was Ginos turn.Telling him how to do it,what to think and even how to stand...expert then is she.

Not really got into it enough to have a favourite but from past shows I usually pick the winner.(again big head)
Problem is that I normally single them out from the off..not this time.

Will have to see how it all pans out.

As for Jordan....silly woman going back in.

Live Seance.

Oh dear oh dear...Derek Acorah strikes again,this time with Michael Jackson no less.

Live seance was on sky one last night.
Why did I tune in when I believe mediums are nothing more than either frauds or self deluded...why not?
I cant slate mediums if I dont watch them at work can I.

I am actually not going to slate Derek.....no point as the seance speaks for me which is just as well as I have no words to describe what went on...well not words I can post here anyway.

As for the fans around the table......if they were not hired actors then...oh my...!!!

Just a snippet with thanks to Raymond.



Still,Dr Matthew Smith was in attendance which made it worth tuning in.
All part of the research......... me hopes...

Most Haunted Live....yes,it has got worse.

Just catching up on MHL...night one so far..pmsl.
Now we all know that this show is to be taken as a whole lot of cobblers...we do dont we?..NOPE!!!! There are plenty who will still insist this show is for real...its a very scary thought.

I admit to once liking this show but that was in the beginning before the games started.

Please please people...if you are looking for proof of an afterlife this show is not going to give it to you.
Watch it and laugh along at the total hogwash it is.

THIS is much more to my liking...

Okay...its mediums but its a good way to see how good the mediums are at cold reading.la la la

Richard Felix will be there...thats a draw,along with Matthew Smith
http://www.spiritualjunkie.blogspot.com/ and as much as I dont believe in mediums full stop I do like Ian Lawman.

I so wish I could go as it looks like it will be a great night...much better than spending three hours listening to Yvette and her scooby gang whistling.

From miss to Mrs.

My daughter was a miss until 24th october...now she is a Mrs.

I know I am biased but the wedding was perfect.Usually some little glitch happens at weddings but not this one.All was like clockwork from start to finish and so much fun.

My gorgeous daughter looked so stunning as did all the wedding party.

Yes,I cried along with the grooms mother.ha ha.

The love they showed for each other as they took their vows was a joy to watch and I can honestly say my new son in law is perfect for my daughter in every way.

Wonderful wonderful day.

Bugged with the wedding looming.eek.

Daughter is getting married in two days and what do I do?....I get a
flipping bug.

Throat was so raw and oh lord I felt so rough for the past three days.
My body decided to get rid of this bug from both ends..ugh ugh ugh..but at least its going.

Thank goodness I have stopped sniffling snuffling and having to run to the loo.

Hopefully will be recovered enough to be able to sing the hymns.

Cant wait for the big day. I know I will be sniffing and snuffling again but this time with happiness.

Excitement abounds.

I am soooooooooo excited...what about.?

I am almost ashamed to say but will anyway as I cant believe it myself....Its my daughters wedding rehearsal tonight..!
Yes...rehearsal...just the rehearsal.lol.

If I am this excited now what the heck will I be like on the actual wedding day. Oh dear.

As the mother of the bride I dont technically need to be there but of course I will be.Not missing a second of it all.

My little girl is getting married in a week...blimey..seems like only yesterday that she was born.

Okay..must stop as getting teary again.Cant help it when I think of the wedding.
Must make sure I have waterproof mascara on the day.

Hen night recovery.

Daughters hen night was saturday and I still feel like I drank a pub full of shots even though I dont drink alcohol.eek!!
Wonderful night and my daughter loved it...which is all that counts...well....

I am the mother of the bride.A certain decorum is called for isn't it.?

Oh well...thats out of the window then since I ended up dancing with Malcolm.
Who is Malcolm....???

This is Malcolm..well the top half anyway.



I cant even use the excuse that I had too much to drink can I...la la la.

Just the usual shopping centre trip.

Oh the joys of shopping for shoes and a shawl...how hard can it be.?

Started off at six...got to the shopping centre..ooh great..not too busy.
Cuppa first then make a start.

Off we go...one shop,two shops,three shops more,six shops,seven shops,eight shops....no more please.......arrrgghh.

Back is killing and I desperately need the loo.Just one more shop eh????!!!...just one ....erm.....three shops later....HELP....NEED LOOOOOOOOOO!!!

More shopping....back is really screaming at me now...okay girls...we can stop now eh....eh...eh.....I have my shoes and shawl and you have done what you want so no need to stay longer.

Yep,we are stopping now.Off to meet the men outside debenhams...now where is debenhams...eek.
'Its this way'..

'No..its this way or it might be that way.'

'I am sure we passed this shop before'

'We have...four times.!!'

Wheeeeeeee...yay...we can see debenhams in the distance.
Wont be long before I can sit down and rest my poorly back...flipping in agony I was.
Hang on.....detour...nooooo no more looking at dresses seen in windows.

Phew...finally we can leave,or can we...?
'which car park were we in?'

' The debenhams exit one'

'Yes,but which exit'

'Menswear as I remember the suits'

Off we trot...erm..nope...not that side..the other side of the store...huge store.
Wheeeeeee...the car park....'now if only I can remember where the car is parked'.......la la la la la.

Science of scams

This looks like its going to be great.
Derren Brown and co show just how supposed paranormal events can be
explained by science.

Of course there will be those who will still maintain that something paranormal is happening but lets hope that many will have their eyes opened.
