My journey to a debt free life
Comments

We too love the reclining seats at Vue, but we had to slum it at the odeon as Vue was full. We have been getting back into going to the cinema, it's definitely been cheaper since reopening, and we don't buy snacks. I got popcorn a while back and spent a week with tooth pain! Some must have worked it's way under my crown.
We also have the Matrix on our list. We were going to watch the new James Bond but covid got us, and while me and hubby didn't get it, it seemed a bit foolish to go to the cinema when we had covid in the house. And now hubby has found out how long the james bond film is he has decided not to bother 🙄
Glad you loved Dune, I had no knowledge of what it was about at all (hubby did) and was pleasantly surprised at how good it was.Debt free Feb 2021 🎉0 -

Good you could sleep in but it's limiting.

I have always enjoyed going to the cinema and there are certain films that are best seen on the big screen first

What part of your leg is it …..your hip? Hopefully they’ll get you sorted soon. It’s a pity the work physio didn’t do more for you.
The cinemas are certainly making up for lost time. I haven’t been yet but ds and dh went and said it was virtually full capacity.January spends - £587.580 -
Back at work today and was very glad to be in clinic because the ward is very stressful at the moment. We had quite a nice day so that was good.
My leg hurt all day though and is now very painful, I did have to kneel on the floor to do two lots of blood tests so that probably hasn't helped the situation.
Im off tomorrow and was meant to be going for a walk with DD1 and the DGSs but I've just had to cancel as I can't face walking too far. I hope it gets better before bed or I won't get much sleep tonight
It was also payday today so I will be checking my bank tomorrow and shuffling some money around. The Xmas fund owes me some money for a couple of presents I've bought over the last couple of weeks so I need to transfer that and draw it out to put to one side. I took the money from my riding fund which is now quite good because I can't actually go at the moment.I am hoping to get back on a horse at some point in the not too distant future,I can't risk it at the moment though so will have to be patient.
Ive also seen an idea for the dolls house this week that I want to have a go at but it means buying a piece of furniture and two hand basins. I might add them to my Christmas list though 😀 I do have lots of other crafts that I need to do before I start on something else. I still haven't found any acrylic paint so I'm going to order some online. I went to Wilkos and they had lots but no red. If I end up not doing anything tomorrow I might make a start on the white part of the house because it needs to be finished by the beginning of December, then I have to decide what to put inside, I was thinking of Lindt balls 😍😍😍😍 although I reckon I could get something quite big in the compartments 😀Original Debt Owed Jan 18 = £17,630 Paid To Date = £6,736 Owed = £10,8942 -
I've had sciatica that didn't affect my back, just my left hip, so it's possible to have it but not in the back. I remember that in my case it was more comfortable to jog than to walk!

I do think yours is a lot worse than mineOh this, except my right leg not my left. But why does tip toeing help it? And sitting on a seat that has a raised front edge is torture. And oh the embarrassment, I was in with my son seeing his consultant & he had to yank me out of the rather low chair. I'd been sitting too long & the seat had no arms. That was after the silly women sitting in on the appointment had asked him if he was worried about if his mother could no longer look after him - nothing like trying to increase his anxiety levels, part of what he is there for! He might not be totally well but he isn't stupid.Does yours get worse if you are stressed, mine seems to?1
