My journey to a debt free life

Hi, OBL,

Just caught up. Glad your Dr took your seriously and referred you but again another barrier having to convince someone else that you need it. Frustrating to say the least. 
My water bill has gone up by £30 a month. My water company can't get my bill right. I was paying over £40 a month for the two of us for a year and then they realised I was heavily in credit and then charged me £8 a month. Now I am back up to over £30 which again will result in a really low year next year. x

Yes it's very frustrating and makes a mockery of all the adverts that urge you to see someone so you can get early treatment 😡
Wow £30 a month is a lot 🙀 I have a water meter so I'm hoping mine will be easy for them to work out

I agree with you....if a GP thinks you need to see a consultant quickly then that should suffice 😡
Sorry you’re feeling so grotty.

It's just an extra delay to seeing someone 🙄

Work was ok yesterday, it wasn't busy in clinics so I was on my own,I didn't get a break until 2pm but I wasn't hungry so that was ok,I had my coffee and lunch break at the same time 😊  I was going to leave early because I am still ill but it was busy on the ward in the afternoon so I went and helped out there until 5pm then it was home time. I've just got a long day tomorrow then I'm off for a week 🎉🎉

Today I am not doing too much at all. I've taken B out and sorted the 🐓🐓 there's a load of washing in the machine thats about all I've managed so far. I was supposed to be going into town because I still haven't got to go yet but I just don't feel up to it. I have food for today and tomorrow but I did need bread and cat litter, I will just have to make the cat litter stretch until Monday, bread doesn't matter so much as I can eat other things instead

Fantastic that you are off next week. That will be great for you to hopefully get some rest.
I'm on a water meter as well but they estimate it for the next year. When they do read it, I am either in debt by a little or hugely in credit. They have never got it right the whole time I have been here. It's from the sublime to the ridiculous. x

That is a ridiculous difference in your water bill and it makes it harder to budget as well. I'm looking forward to my week off and I'm secretly hoping I will get a burst of energy after a couple of days chilling out so I can do some of the jobs I had planned 😊

I'm loving the lighter evenings, we got to go for a second walk through the fields this evening just before it got dark, B was very excited 😀 I made a Quorn chicken curry for my tea, DD had some too so there is enough for me to take to work tomorrow and another portion for the freezer.
All the talk of ex partners got me wondering earlier so I did some FB stalking 😁 My ex partner came back from the USA about three years ago I think, we don't have anything to do with him so neither me or my DDs knew where he lived or even if he was actually still alive ( I would like to think the family would tell us if he died but would be surprised if they didn't ) it was actually his birthday yesterday so I went looking and found him on FB, lots of his friends had wished him happy birthday so I can presume he's still alive but most alarming thing was that he only lives about a 30 minute train ride away in a seaside town we were thinking of visiting  this year, I haven't been to this place for years but it has a lovely beach, anyway that trip will now be cancelled as I don't fancy bumping into him anytime soon. I'm so glad I looked now 😀

Good job you did look then. Maybe you would have bumped into him. 
Sorry if it triggered anything OBL, ex partners seem a bit a bit of a pain in the butt and can cause a lot of emotions. Even after 20 years it can still make you feel lousy when remembering how they acted and behaved.

That was a close shave with the ex, good job you did some detective work. What a shock that would've been if you bumped into him out of the blue.

It would be a disaster bumping into him 😟I still have nightmares that he turns up on the doorstep now 🙀
