Hi all :hello:.
Been reading and commenting on other diaries but don't seem to have updated my own!! Plodding on, or rather limping on, as my Plantar Fasciitis is particularly bad just now. MiL took pity on me and we've all been to town today to get me some FitFlops. Fenw1cks had 20% off, so £60 down to £48, and then I remembered I had £9 left on a gift card lurking in my purse, so I insisted we used that too and got them for £39 :T. Even if it's not my money, I still love a bargain (if you can call £39 a bargain :eek:). Bless MiL, she then wanted to buy me some more supportive shoes for work too :A.
Sold a £10 gift card that we will never use on ebay for £9.01, which I was chuffed to bits with. Got a few more things sorted to list tonight. Nothing that will make millions, but all pennies needed!
Haven't heard anything re blood test I had last week, so will chase that tomorrow.Debts @ LBM £23,729.31. Debts @ 08/04/2016 £0 :j

Two of my friends have plantar fasciitis, we were discussing at our last lunch meeting. Glad you got some new Fitflops to help it. Your MIL sounds a real treasure xxI get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)0

Hooray for your MIL, and yes I do think £39 is a bargain for shoes, I paid £105 for Ecco ones in the sale at Christmas. I wear them out very quickly with my gait, so tend to buy good quality and then last a couple of years.
I have to have them built up, use to cost me another £20 but at least I can take them to the surgical appliances department at the hospital and have them done for free... I am allowed two pairs a year.
Hope the feet are feeling better...As a dear MSE friend says “keep plodding” or
What does the saying say.... When life hands you lemons, make lemonade
Or as my Mum would say, brush yourself down, tomorrow is another day or
Fake it, to you Make It

Been up most of the night with a poorly post-op doggie
. Operation turned out to be quite complicated, and he has 3 wounds bless him, made while they were searching for the missing testicle. He's been given methadone :eek: as pain relief and is a bit vacant. He's trying to sleep standing up, but has managed to eat, drink and toilet ok. DH is asleep upstairs, so I have one ear out listening for him incase of seizure, but hopefully he'll be ok and I can get some sleep after the school run later.
Need to hang the cross on the front door again. While I've not been posting this week, DH had a bad day (still no TC seizure though so almost a full year without *touch wood*), and DS2 threw up so has had 2 days off school. I rang the docs on Monday to be told my B12 was still low, but the doctor I've been been seeing was off til Wednesday so I'd hear after that. Still nothing. DS1 has so far been ok, but he gets his bottom braces on on Momday, so that will be a full house of medical issues :eek:.
