Evening
Busy day today, just cleaning and boring things but better than sitting feeling sorry for myself.
Beginning to think there might be an infection lingering in DD so going to get her seen again tomorrow before the weekend. It costs a fortune to get to out of hours.
Other two have eaten dinner and have set up to watch a film. So I'm going to have a cuppa and do some surveys before it's time to get them all in bed.
Hope everyone is well

Good idea to get DD checked out before the weekend. We were thrilled when a walk in centre opened in town about 5 years ago but it shut last year after becoming a normal surgery. We have to travel to one of the neighbouring towns now. So we can walk in but only after we've driven 20+ minutes to one! Hope DD's temperature comes down soon. Fingers crossed for a good night as well. x0

Thank you
I will call them in the morning and they'll squeeze her in. She's currently sat eating biscuits *rolls eyes*
Have messaged my rent officer today asking if I can delay tomorrows payment for a week and they haven't replied. I'll have to call first thing.
Nothing much else to say. Have portioned up the leftovers from smalls dinners and frozen them.
We will finish the cards this weekend and make gingerbread biscuits I think. It's going to be cold so won't be going anywhere.

Morning
Dr visit done, antibiotics for 7 days and she's back to be seen on Monday to just check numbers and things. She seems a bit better today though. I think the new drugs must be settling in and now she's just normal poorly than having it all going on at once.
Hope everyone has a good day
