Hi all, Steve here.

What a month I've had, it's been really busy! A trip to Wythenshawe Hospital to have a general check up brought me good news. I'm pleased to say I'm doing really well, although my left arm is still bent and has remained so since the incident last year, but its certainly not for want of trying! I've been given an appointment for a C-T scan just before Christmas to find out what on earths going on in there. In the meantime all I can do is keep on trying to straighten it. Recently I joined my local gym to help me get the blessed thing straight. Pauline reckons I look like Clyde from the film 'Any Which Way But Loose' swinging from the pull-up bars!

At this point I need to thank all the people who work at Farnworth Firestation for their efforts in raising monies for me - as you can see the money has paid for my gym membership. You can now hold your heads high in the knowledge you finally made a monkey out of Steve Morris! What do you mean "that was easy"!

Thanks fellas.

In the past two weeks I've had two more events that also ended in good news. The first was an appointment at a local Hospital to let me know whether I have to have my tonsils out. "Have your tonsils out!" I here you cry. Well yes, apparently it's quite common in, erm older people. It's not tonsillitis you understand which kids get. It's an infection which I've tried to treat in other way's but alas failed, leaving me to seek a more professional opinion. All's well that ends well, I don't have to have my tonsils out after all, mere relief would not describe how I felt, absolutely elated would more like it!

The other good news is that the BBC have visited my address and did some filming for Crimewatch, which is due to be shown either on the 21st December or the 18th January. They did a reconstruction of the incident at Littleholme Walk itself. Some of the firefighters that took part in the reconstruction were actually at the original incident so you're guaranteed to see what really happened. Obviously I won't be playing my part, but it didn't stop them from asking. Regretfully I had to decline, but suggested they get an actor to play me. I thought perhaps Brad Pitt but I don't think he's young enough for the part because they just shook their heads and laughed! Anyway I'm sure they'll get some handsome devil from somewhere.

The scene where I come bursting through the front door is, I am told, very dramatic. They used a stunt man for this as I had, if you remember, declined for some strange reason! These scenes were filmed at our training centre.

That's all for now until the next time.

PS Remember to check your smoke alarm is still working
