    Had decent night's sleep and sent in cover early. Went out in the garden and absolutely killed my foot! have appointment at 2.10 for foot. I am REALLY Hoping they don't put me in a cast!!

    I have decided that somehow I am going to move my room round over the next few weeks and redo the indoor rabbit "area" so I can have a bigger desk and a bit more space. I know it sounds mental but currently they are difficult to shut off and with the boot on it is worrying trying to avoid them.

    I have also found some work outs on You tube (!) for people who have ankle injuries so if I am going to be off some kind of routine is important.

    So that is the plan. Am trying to be positive but it all depends on the meeting with the doctor today.

    Good luck Buffy!
    Must use my stash up!
  • You have definitely had a rubbish time of things lately Buffy. I am certain that things will change for the better soon. Good luck today with the foot xx

    So appointment was at 2.10..........I got seen at 4.30.........! but the nurse attending the appointment was CUUUUUUUUUUUUTE....

    Doctor examined me and clearly knew what he is doing, he said I have sprained my ligaments and need to wear the boot for 6 weeks.

    Better than I thought and at least I am not in a cast.

    So I ordered a new cage for the piggies, and will focus on sorting my room since I am going to spend a lot of time up there!!

    Time to (literally) put your feet up and refresh yourself. Sorry to hear you've had a carp time recently. Don't give up Buffster, good times are around the corner xx

    I can honestly say I have been asleep for most of the day. It has been very odd!

    Looked at my finances (!)

    I am in debt again, 5500, this is for the garden(rabbits mainly) but mostly the dentist. It is depressing to say the least. Feels entirely like being back at square one. I borrowed on the CC at %0.

    However by the start of June it will 5000 and will go down each month accordingly.

    I am taking my CC off of Amazon (my weakness) and putting my cash card on instead. Shockingly I might cancel my CC as it is driving me mental - so easy to spend on it.

    So my debt free date is March 2017.

    At least I will have decent teeth!

  • Turns out Mum owes me 300 quid, really thought I had lost the plot! my emergency fund was far lower than it should have been! that is a relief.......

    Woke up super early, unfortunately one friend with small child was also awake and of course because I foolishly thought I was free to say what I wanted on my FB! she made a delicately veiled comment about having to get up with children and that I should count my blessings.

    You know what ? Not today I won't. I understand the !!!!ing concept and maybe this is the universe's way of trying to get me to be grateful and patient and I understand I am incredibly lucky to have the life I have but please don't moan to me about have two beautiful healthy children when that is something I can never have.

    So I deleted her comment - got to use what power I have and I love FB it is full for the most part of like minded people who really are supportive and I know her comment wasn't intentional and just the product of being super tired all the time. I didn't need to hear it nonetheless.

    Anyhow, ate a bacon sandwich and had a cup of tea and now I think I shall go back to bed!
