5 years MFW - Lets get cracking...

Alchemilla

Hoping your vavavoom comes back.

Had skiing lessons cancelled and no lift one day whilst away and today got refund of £224, really pleased as wasn't sure we'd get anything.

Been to performance of "out of mind" tonight, was free (limited free nhs places as about dementia) but was definitely not my type of thing. The pull of free theatre led me astray... was like sitting at work , I suppose for most of the audience it's shocking ..

My only other savings today was printed off farmfoods voucher. Also some pennies on asda guarantee.

Today Dave has repainted little lounge. Tbh didn't get involved (usually I'd do) as we'd planned it for this weekend but felt rubbish so thought it could wait but pleased he did anyway as looks nice. I had a afternoon nap instead and felt much better for it, although still tight.

CathT - super thick question but what's wiotw?

Hi, just seen this but see WABL answered. Works for me as we can't focus so much on mortgage at present but still allows us to see how well we are doing.

Am with Alchemilla and hoping your vavavoom returns soon. Down days are understandable when you are feeling poorly, little steps H, little steps xx

Thanks x . Still missing vavavoom but muddling on.

Cancelled my study days, feel quite bad as expensive days and can't be reallocated due to strict criteria. Doing mix of half days this week, tbh just feel like I attend as don't seem to get much done. Feel proper useless and continue to feel quite mardy. Have had no time since Thursday where I've felt no chest tightness and its getting boring now!

All money shifted and can't believe that sub 20k number.
Have adjusted morgage 1 op next month as Will be paid off. Can't op that money so will be going into savings (which we have very little). Will leave me with morgage 2 & 3.

Have ordered a nice collage heart canvas (groupon) tonight for Dave's birthday. His tablet came today too.

Better week, came home at lunchtime today but that's definitely an improvement. Just resting and eating sweeties now. (Tootie fruities).

Have been scoping skiing abroad next year but seems ridiculously expensive, coming out at around 5k for 1 week for 5, with everything in (hb, ski pass and equipment hire), reconsidering a return trip to Scotland.

I say something about that on TV. My mum had dementia, so I'm no stranger to dementia wards and care homes. I think it'd be illuminating for people who haven't had experience with dementia, but as you say for others it'd be too much like work, or stirring up bad memories

I think at least it made me think how others perceive it, as it seems normal part of ward life and you forget it's effect on new staff and relatives. Sometimes I get complaints from patients or relatives about patients who are confused and as much as I understand why it's upsetting, I think they forget it could be them or their relative and that everyone should be treated with dignity regardless of their condition.

Not a good night so not going to work today. Huth with a cup of tea then...
Looks like a lazy day.
