Hi All You Lovely Folk on CWE!!

As part of National Epilepsy Week here in the UK,May 17th -23rd, I just wanted to let you know that on Wednesday 20th May between 3pm and 3.30pm, I'm being interviewed by John Griff on BBC Radio Northampton, and if anyone wants to listen, you can by going to www.bbc.co.uk/northampton, then click on listen live, and you should hear me. Of course for you guys abroad, there's the time difference, but I just thought I'd let you all know and if anyone wants to listen in they can.

I've been writing articles and sending them to local and national papers, so fingers crossed, this year, we can get more exposure for the cause than National Shed Week!!!!

I really hope you can listen, and if you do,let me know what you think, I've got a representative from Epilepsy Action on with me aswell, so it should be good.

I hope you are well,and keeping wobbly free, unfortunately, I'm not, and have had some problems lately, still a lot better than I was before the last op so it was definately worth having.:clap:

Hi Guys

Thanks so much for all your support and kind comments! I just wanted to say that the radio show went really well, I think I gave a really positive, articulate representation of all us folk in the UK with epilepsy, I've had a few people call me following the programme, and I've had a publishing company really interested in my book, and they are coming to see me next Thursday, I am so pleased that they heard it, the guy rang me and he said..."Wow, you are so passionate about this aren't you, I can hear it in your voice!" I'll keep you posted and let you know how that goes, but hopefully, he can steer me in the right direction, and help me with getting the book all completed.

I'm glad some of you got to hear it, and it made me day, when my father rang me afterwards, and told me that he was really proud of me, that so made my day!!

I hope you are all ok, I'm still in wobbly mode, but still job hunting, and staying upbeat and happy, you just have to folks!! :banana:
