Get a grip !

Ow! Would your work cover anything like that? A colleague of mine had a consultation with a specialist in the office and he had a previous coccyx injury. Got a rather scary looking chair out of it.

Aw thanks Babs, SW and atrixa. I already have a scary chair 😆 it looks like something out of a spaceship and is huge. They had to ship it to me by 2 man courier van to work from home. This latest injury is new but hopefully will heal over time. 

I have ordered a cushion. My mind was blown with the choice on anazon so I got an orthopaedic one from a well known chemist chain £16.99 and free delivery. 

I paid my car tax online £125 paid from annual bills account where I save £100 a month. 

I need to get some ibuprofen today but can pick some up cheap locally later today. 

I had an email from Pay pal yesterday offering me £5 to download their app. I did it straight away so fingers crossed. You can withdraw the cash which should appear after a week if you are one of the first 154000 users! There must be millions using pay pal so I won’t be surprised if I don’t get it but it was worth giving it a go. 

I need to sort out time off work for my covid jabs as we have been told to get it done in our own time. I will work out my leave for the next 12 months over the weekend. I hope I don’t get the side effects! DS & gf have had theirs and both were ill for 48 hours afterwards.

So glad you are getting it! Fingers crossed no side effects, I usually have a sore arm with regular flu one. Well done on paying car tax from your planned savings. Good luck with free Pay pal app. Weather is clear this morning, wishing you a good weekend.

It’s a mild dry morning here too SW, have just got back from a lovely walk. Bumped into a different friend walking her dog she usually works Saturday & I haven’t seen her for ages, so we walked & chatted for a while. She turned back when we went onto the common & puppy dog had a run around in the mud & puddles 😆

I picked up a free mirror one of my neighbours had put out. It is a large dark wood surround mirror & is ideal for my hallway to replace the plasticy/ gold framed old fashioned one (not a lovely antique unfortunately) which came from ex mil house years ago 🤗 & matches the dark wood stairs / skirting/ dado rail. I will still paint the gold framed one & it can go in the spare room. 

Slow cooker is on. Heating is off !

I ended up passing my specialist chair on to someone else as it was totally inappropriate for my needs. 
Your cushion should make a difference.
Side effects depend on which jab you have, people are talking about them in the Cov1d section.

Mirror sounds like a fabulous find!

It's lovely that you are decorating. I hope you are having a good day.

Puppy dog has been to emergency vet £528. Have paid on my credit card & vet is sending in an insurance claim. Thankfully she is ok which is the main thing. She has been on chicken & rice for a few days coop chicken £3.75 and value rice 90p. Will need to get more chicken today to help get her meds in her then hopefully reintroduce her normal food. 

It’s been very mild this week so far. Washing has been done & hung out. Heating has been off until around 7pm as the evenings have been chilly. 

Still eating from freezer batch cooked meals. Will do a shop next week after payday. We should find out the final decision about work next week. Many people are talking about leaving. They are part time with husbands/ partners. I can’t afford to leave without another job to go to & am unlikely to get something in the current climate that pays as well. I will just need to work round any changes. 

So tired. 

MovingForwards

Oh no, poor PD.

The weather is definitely improving, maybe it's the turning point as spring approaches.

All you can do is see what other jobs are around, it's not as bad as you may think. People often talk about leaving when changes are made, doesn't mean they will unless they don't need the money. Can you book a couple of long weekends for resting or just for not working?

I hope puppy is starting to be better. Yikes to cost I hope you get the money back v soon. We are going to have to tough it out Skinty. You are such a strong person, we can do this.

Started to gradually reintroduce normal food and puppy dog has had a relapse. She’s still energetic, eating and drinking so back onto only chicken & rice for the weekend. She is still on probiotics vet prescribed. If no improvement she will need to go back to the vet on Monday. 

Payday 🤗 Had a dominos as a payday monthly treat. Feel stuffed with all those carbs 😆

Vet bill has gone onto credit card. Will have until end of March to pay it so insurance should have paid out by then. 

Spent £12.45 at coop on chicken breast for dog plus 4 pints milk, various bits for over the weekend and some hot cross buns 😋

I put in my claim for wfh online so that should come via tax code as a lump sum for the year in next month’s pay & will be paid onto energy bill. Heating has been mostly off today. Very mild and trees round the local pond are bursting with blossom. Nice to feel some warm weather for a change. 🤗
