Jamiedodger's Happy Times 2009 Diary

JAMIEDODGER

Morning all:)

My utilities and sky have gone out this morning and have pushed my spends way over the monthly budget as expected. I went to B&Q yesterday and picked up some more paint to finish DD's bedroom. I managed to get a lot done in there, but I think one more full day's painting will do it:)

Have a friend round for cuppa this morning, so may crack on with painting after she has gone. Also made arrangements to see another friend for breakfast in town on friday morning, havent seen her for a good few months so will be really nice to catch up!

Off to make up lunchboxes now.... have a good day everyone!

Morning JD

Was up with the crows myself this morning (trying to get up a bit earlier so that I can get some h/w done before work). Other reason is I think i've been having a bit too much sleep lately (if there is such a thing ) so trying to break that habit a bit. You watch, i'll just get into a routine and it'll be half term :rolleyes: (I'm term-time only work).

Also over my 'monthly' average but that should sort itself over the year so i'm not too worried. I'm already into Feb's money for food but haven't actually started on the food yet if that makes sense .

What colour are you painting? My DD had light pink on 3 walls and an extremely bright raspberry pink on another :eek: :cool: (mind you, does look pretty effective). Got a few months of saving to do here before we can start our living room. I had planned to get a new TV in Feb but I think I'm going to have to get a new bed instead. Layed in it last night and felt a spring pop out and into my thigh (no damage luckily !) It is rather old though so does need replacing but bang goes the new TV. Oh well, priorities and all that :rolleyes:

Right off to do some more work (thought I'd pop in and catch up while I had a cuppa).

Take care JD (enjoy your friend-time this morning ) et all ....... have a good day xx

Jtb - All rooms are being painted magnolia, have had dark dingy colours on the walls upstairs since we moved in so it is lovely to have it all fresh and clean looking! A new bed sounds good, cant function without a good nights sleep, springs not good:(

Have now finished DD's room and am now working on ds1&2 room and the hallway. Prefer to have two rooms on the go at once so have something to do while walls are drying!

Not sure how much use I am going to be today though. I think I have the start of another kidney infection looming. was in a lot of pain last night and slept badly until about 1am when I caved and took some very strong pain killers which killed of the pain and let me get 4 hours sleep. Not long been up but the pain is back again. Temperature is up slightly although was up higher in the night. May try and get an appointment with the doctors this morning, as if it is a infection, experience tells me I will probably hit a full blown fever by this afternoon. I get kidney infections about 3 times a year, had them for the last 8 years. Temp usually goes up to 105:eek: and they usually want to have me in hospital, but because of being a single parent and ds3, I refuse to go. The deal is on first sign of infection I get in to doctors and they give me strong antibiotics.

Will be doing full breakdown of January spends on sunday.

Hey guys, thanks for your messages.

Jtb - got your PM, very kind of you hun!

Went to doctors yesterday morning, got a fairly early appointment. Doctor agreed kidney infection. Gave me antibiotics and painkillers. By the time I got out of the pharmacy, I was crying in pain, got home took both medicine, called my mum and asked if she would pick up DD from school. Slept for about 3 hours but when I woke up was in real pain again. Had a bath to try and make myself feel better and bring my temp down. Took some more meds at 4 and again at 9, kids were great and helped with little ones. dozed on and off on sofa. Had a restless night and still hurting this morning. Will be taking meds shortly and hopefully will be ok to take DD to school and then home to bed again!

Hopefully by this evening I should be feeling much better, would have had 6 lots of antibiotics by then.

Bonus is I am not spending any money:D

Hope you are all ok xxx

All okay here J. So glad you are getting treatment. These things get worse if left don't they? And you can't muck about with your kidneys. Take it easy and sod the house for a while. I hope you're on the mend very soon. x
