I’m glad it was noted that you are still unwell and shouldn’t be working 👍 OMG to the vet bill so far, can most of this be recovered via insurance? We watched Little Fires Everywhere it was good, a slow burner (pardon the pun) but really enjoyed it.

I was hooked on Little Fires and just had to watch the whole thing to find out what happened 😀
We are having trouble stopping B from jumping up and down from the settee 😳I left her downstairs in her bed when I went to bed today and closed the stair gate so she wouldn't go upstairs then DD came in and said B was on her bed, she had climbed through the side of the stairs, we have horizontal bannisters so she can climb through 🙀I've blocked it off now. I'm not sure if she has been out for a poop yet though, but then she hasn't had a lot to eat just some chicken, I'm going to try her with some of her food tomorrowOriginal Debt Owed Jan 18 = £17,630 Paid To Date = £6,736 Owed = £10,8944 -
I haven't seen little fires, but her wagging her tails is obviously a good sign. Shows she seems happy. xSeptember 2017 Debt = £25330
Starting afresh.
You can do anything if you put your mind to it. x3 -
I phoned the Gp today and was put through to the secretaries to arrange an extension on my certificate, she said she would get the doctor to email it to me, no one asked me why I wanted it or what the problem was,she said the GP would phone me if there was a problem,I haven't received it yet or had a phone call so I hope the message was passed on
I will phone again tomorrow to make sure.
B is doing well and seems to be making a good recovery. I went for a shower this morning and when I walked back into my bedroom she had made herself at home on my bed,she isn't normally allowed on my bed 🙀I felt sorry for her though so I've covered the bed in a throw and left her there, she was there until about half an hour ago when she came downstairsOriginal Debt Owed Jan 18 = £17,630 Paid To Date = £6,736 Owed = £10,8945 -
I’m glad B is doing well 👍 My dog sleeps on and often in my bed at the bottom if she’s cold - at least she keeps my feet warm 🤣I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)2

Work up at 6am today by DD getting ready for work, I got up to let B out for a wee and went back to bed and I didn't wake up again until 10.30. I've put a load of washing in which has just finished but the sky has gone very black so I don't know whether to peg it out or not, it was lovely and sunny when I got up, I also need to stroll slowly to the shop because I've run out of bread but I will leave that until later
Ive got hold of my surgery again and explained my symptoms and she has booked me an appointment for Friday to see someone if I'm still not better,she did tell me to phone in the morning at 8.30 for an emergency appointment if I felt like I needed one before then or to phone 111 if it was urgent. My cough has gone back to a dry cough which is mostly not there unless I talk, when I talk I get breathless and then the cough comes back, I actually feel a bit more human and have a bit more energy but just need my breathing to get back to normal now, I've had this since the 23rd of August and it's getting annoying now, I've got things I want to do. I also must phone work today to give them the good news 😳
B is doing well,she seems quite perky this morning and there's been lots of tail wagging going on ,I took her for a very slow wander up the road last night and she was ok with that, she's only allowed a ten minute walk on the lead until her post op check,this is good because I can't walk that far or very fast either ,we looked like a right pair of invalids wobbling up the road .i must also phone the vet because she has to go back for her post op check ten days after her op, her op was done at a different branch to the one where we normally go and it's a bus plus a ten minute walk away so I'm hoping I can go to my branch which is a five minute bus journey. I also need to pay the excess and co payment for treatment so far 🙀Original Debt Owed Jan 18 = £17,630 Paid To Date = £6,736 Owed = £10,8944
