    No doctor can fix ME and Fibro. I'm on ME forums and the ones with private insurance get to see nice docs but they still dont get better.. But for other, fixable things I would think it worthwhile :)
    Good point M. That's what other folk have told me. The registrar who took my details said they do see people get better though .... and I have heard of people who had it who live "normal" lives. There is such a world of difference between the niceness of private and the grimness of public but it's a luxury I don't think I can afford.
    Trying to spend less time on MSE so I can get more done ... it's not going great so far! :)

    I shouldnt be on here but ....................

    I have just got a letter inviting me for an interview at Morrisons. Its a new store that is opening across town.

    I also have done some research and I am seriously thinking of getting a 125 cc scooter, CBT £80 and I am on my way!! I've asked in the bike shop in town and they reckon for around £50 on finance I could have a lovely scooter and all the kit (jacket to make sure I am safe). It would mean no more being dependant upon the bus and I can consider this job at Morrisons and be able to look at flats in a similar area to the one I looked at a few weeks ago.....................

    The interviews not until the 16/09 but I am so excited now!

    I now just want these exams out of the way, theyre dampening things not to mention my mood.

    Good luck on the job interview hun but wouldn't a push bike be a cheaper more frugal option? Bad day yesterday...think it was a combo of physical and mental but really scary...Could only walk as far as the lift..

    anyhow praise God I had my silly o'clock bread.... and here's pics :j

    Thanks a mill Erme - hugs to you too, sounds like you've been feeling rotten. I hope it passes. Your breads looks delicious!


    I've been feeling rotten so I had a frugal pampering session today. Had a warm bath with essential oils to ease my aches. Did a face scrub with bread soda and have a a homemade deep conditioning mask on my hair (honey, molasses - only for dark hair as it stains, aloe vera gel, and a squirt of normal conditioner). Am sitting with cling film on my head, very attractive!:)

    Hope everyone else is ok - hugs to everyone who'd like one.
