It's just amazing how something so small can cause so much pain and issues

Thanks for the healing hugs xx

Well it's pay day tomorrow and we have a whole £1 left over ... Wooooo hoooo on budget for the first time in a long time


I think that having this new book to document everything is helping, mr el wanted to go for lunch yesterday an I informed him if how much we had left, usually he would say don't worry I've done x amount of OT we will be fine, but he didn't he said ... Ok not to worry plenty more opportunities will arise for lunch, much less stressful for me


Now to keep it up

Leg has been in agony for most of the day, I'm starting to experience sharp shooting pains at the infected area, have been taking my antibiotics faithfully but the pain is still there and it is still weeping, if it isn't any better by the end of next week I may have to go back to the dr I think, am not able to walk far either as that is painful for me also

Still got £1 to last till tomorrow though so it's not all bad news

Mr el has been expressing an interest in finances again which is handy, I have been doing my research about equities, bonds etc and telling him what I've been learning, he accepts he needs to learn about them and is making headway but finds it very complicated at the moment... Can't say I blame him I find it complicated and head hurting as well

I'm thinking in a few years of us trying to live a year on what we would have as a pension to try and bring home the reality of what we need to do to achieve our goals, and to get a feel of how our future could be, just now though I am gathering info

Sounds a good challenge El, hope leg gets better soon.

Think I'm jut gonna phone NHS 24 Skinty just to put my mind at rest it really is a mess

I think it will be a good challenge and I think it could also be a steep learning curve for us, it may help us decide if we should sell up before retiring etc due to council tax and heating costs etc

Good idea on NHS 24 me thinks.

elantan

As I'm sure some of you know already ... Phoned NHS 24 no nurse available to talk to me so they will phone me back within the next three hours ... Glad it ain't life threatening or anything

It could be in three bleeping hours though :mad:
