Morning folks, happy Thursday
Both legs are still aching this morning, glad I'm working from home. Work have suggested I work from home on alternate days until I've fully recovered which is a great idea.
Still not 100% with this new forum, not keen on updating from my phone as it's not showing all my subscriptions and if I update from my laptop I only get a small selection of emojis. Oh well.
Have a good day, not long until the weekend.

Sorry for alarming you folks but you really can see that screw 😩
Anyway finished work early today and went to M&S to treat myself with the 20% off and some vouchers I had. Got some trousers and a jumper for work. Went for a coffee with the free hot drink voucher. Mr SA was jealous I got myself something new and kicked off a bit. Reminded him I still have the bonus from work unspent due to broken leg.He’s also not happy because next Friday I’m on a night out with work friends. I was going to decline then thought why not, I’d love to go - so I’m going, what the heck.
My leg feels so much better today, I think it’s getting stronger. Was carrying the crutch more than using it.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)11 -
🤢to seeing the screw,although I work in a hospital I do find anything to do with bones and screws a bit challenging,it's quite funny because I work in an orthopaedic clinic once a week 😂 yay to the leg feeling stronger
You definitely do deserve a night out with with your friends, doesnt Mr Sa have any friends he could go to the pub with sometimes, it would do him good to get out of the house so he's got less time to think about things 😊Original Debt Owed Jan 18 = £17,630 Paid To Date = £6,736 Owed = £10,8947 -
