    πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜³πŸ˜³πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ doc tried telling me it was the opposite ankle I was having done 😳 it was there on the notes - so had to be true 😳. He did go back and look at the referral letters and conceded I was right it was the opposite ankle πŸ‘ He wasn’t happy and said he’d follow the paperwork up as it shouldn’t have happened…..but it was the doctor that was on the phone a while back whilst I was there so could have been him or could have been a simple admin mistake. He then got very excited when I’d told him a condition I have ( should have been in the notes) πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ said he’d never seen it in real life and was asking me lots of questions then his camera came out and he took photos of my eyes. I always smile when I have doctors looking into my eyes with a smile. ( there’s a side effect which shows in my eyes πŸ˜‰) Β He was lovely after the initial stand off about where he was sticking the needle.Β

    What a difference with the injections. The swelling has gone down but it’s pretty bruised and there are 5 punctures where he’d stuck needles. I’ve been Googling exactly what he’d done - I’m not surprised it was as painful as it was. But early signs look good πŸ˜ƒ Whilst we were away I bought some heat pads for my sore arm….that’s made a difference too so it looks like I just overdid things when we did the bedroom. I’ll carry on with them for a couple more days πŸ‘ There were packs of different shaped pads….the ones I bought were supposed to be for tummy pain - there were 2 in a pack of those but shoulder ones only had 1 per pack. The heat pad doesn’t know it’s only supposed to work on tummies….2 for the price of 1 and jobs a guddun πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚
    I’m going to pay my cc again today to clear my spends off and I might even do some crafting. Β I bought a ring to make crochet a wreath at a craft shop whilst we were away so I’ll trawl my wool and patterns. So if it turns out ok I’ll have a nice Christmas wreath for Β£3.50 πŸ˜ƒ

    Glad to hear all was well with Millie.

    That does look like a fancy pigeon of some sort. Someone will be missing him/her.

    I’ve started a crochet wreath. Not sure what it’ll turn out like as I’m melding a few bits from different patterns. It’s taking forever though. The last thing I crocheted was in chunky with big needles. This is on 3 mm needles. I have to stop after about 10 minutes and go back to it….so my arm isn’t as good as I thought😏
    Just walked around to get some milk and pick up a prescription so Β£5 spent on milk and cold meat for Dh to take to work. So far ankle is working well but it’s only around the corner πŸ˜ƒ

  • Glad to hear that Millie got a clean bill of health milann, and that you've had the ankle injection even if it was painful. Hopefully it's settling down a bit now. the crochet wreath sounds interesting - I saw a friend had posted a pretty little christmas bauble string she'd crocheted on facebook earlier - I'm quite tempted to have a go at that!Β

    The day started off well. The rain stopped and the sun shone through the window - lovely as it was it showed just how dusty my cabinet with ornaments was. Can’t remember the last time I cleaned it. Anyway I emptied the top, cleaned the ornaments and put them back- then I came to a standstill absolutely shattered. Anyway that was the start of my Pre Christmas clean. I’m going to try and do an area each day. We go to dds the first few days of December so I want to have the living room ready to put the tree up when we come back πŸ˜ƒ Tomorrow I’ll sort the bottom cupboards and see where I’m Β up to with Christmas snacks πŸ‘ At least I didn’t spend any money.
    im going to commit to putting Β£1 a day away challenge from the 1 st December ready for Christmas 23 πŸ˜ƒ

  • You've reminded me - we were going to look at whether we can make space for a small tree somewhere this year, as we're actually at home for most of Christmas. It'd be lovely to get some of our old decorations out again!Β  The "Hebrides decorations" box will be coming out for use anyway - it'd basically full of little mini strings of fairy lights and small ornaments we've always taken up there with us - it'll be nice if odd to see them up at home!Β
