Hello Emz,

I agree that it's ok for you to be paying off a holiday. In all the time I've been reading your diaries I don't remember anything extravagant on any of them. You deserve to be happy and to live life under your terms for as long as you can.

Sometimes it's just really nice to read about a positive thing that money is being worked hard for.

Congratulations on the pay increase.

Echoing the others. I also think that you needed something to look forward to. I wish I had your determination. You do inspire me and others so please keep posting.

Emzilla

Hey Emz, I don't Post on here very often but I always read your Diary....


I just wanted to say that I would love to hear more about your Holiday....you deserve this.....Take it, own it and enjoy it....


As someone else said up the Thread a bit...your situation is a bit different.....and you need to do these things while you have your health and can really enjoy it.....


So go for it hun and really enjoy yourself....

Emzilla

Thanks Helen :A

Sorry I haven't been around. Tuesday evening I felt a really sharp pain in my back around my chest area. With me in tears, OH drove me to the hospital. They say it's just a pulled muscle, but I can tell you it was agony. It still hurts now, but it's bearable.

I have no idea how I managed to work 9 (yes, 9) hours yesterday. I've got to work 3 hours tonight, and then I've got 3 days off, so I'm hoping that will help it get better.

OH is going away tonight (after picking me up from work) and I won't see him again until Sunday, so I've got some time alone (well, me and the degus). My sister is staying over on Saturday night so she can get a break from the kids and we can watch some movies.

Hey up Lovely,


just wanted to pop by and say hello


DFW is all about no judgement, remember that.


take care hon, pulled muscles are horribly painful XXX

Emzilla

Thanks Buffy

I've had a nice restful weekend so far. Friday I did absolutely nothing except watch TV and play with the degus.

Yesterday I did a bit of housework, but my sister also came over and we watched movies and ate pizza. I've been round my mum's for the most of today and have managed to sell 3 of the things I put on Gumtree for her the other day. OH and I are off to watch Insurgent tonight.

I'm working 2-8 tomorrow, 12-8 Wednesday and 5-9 Thursday, so not too bad this week. OH's parents are down at the weekend - no comment.

While I'm all for you easing up, is there no chance of a few weekend shifts?
