    Definitely the plants, not the humans. They are the good type of human, they love cats  :D 

    I did sleep, but not for long. Went to the car boot again. Mum told me that I'm obsessive, which is true and I always have been. As long as I'm not harming me or anyone around me, I let my obsessions run. I have never been someone who does things in moderation. A great example is crisps, I will eat them long after my mouth is sore. So I just ban myself from them entirely. Right now I'm trying not to buy clothes (unless it's underwear) or shoes.

    Had an incredible haul today. I got sooo much craft stuff which included silk roses, reels of ribbon (maybe 6 of them), about 3m of cream lace, origami paper, stick on gems of many varieties, pom poms (new from tiger which I nearly bought on Friday for £3) little fake flowers, felt flowers, paper flowers, balloon shaped glitter, etc for £4.10. Five vendors, amazing! I also got sand paper and a dust sheet for £3.50! Very pleased, will help with my projects very much. Oh and some ice cream for me and mum.

    Other things that I have sorted for the hen include booking a table for ten for Sunday lunch, found my large saucepan, nagged my fellow bridesmaid to do her part.

    I was a bit of a doughnut though, brought my work laptop home to work today but didn't bring the charger! So instead of 3 hours I did 90 minutes. Whoops!

    Time for bed? I promise I did my washing up!

     I have a good friend from work who is obsessed with boot sales, I think there’s worst things you can be 😆 he justifies it as saying it’s his main exercise for the week as the one near us is absolutely massive and I usually do 10k steps there if I go 😁

    That actually sounds amazing. My one rarely gets really big, usually there must be between 30-60 cars.

    Eating crisps 'til your mouth is sore sounds like bliss - unfortunately I've eaten a family bag by myself on several occasions and have been unable to prove your hypothesis  ;)

    It takes about half a big bag of m&s popped BBQ flavour for me to get sore. Then I continue eating and then my mouth hurts for 2 days after.   :D I'd recommend them wholeheartedly. 

    Soooooo, I've been foolish. I thought my hands were better but a few days ago they started getting worse quite suddenly, I thought that I had touched something and would wait a few days before going to the doctor as I thought that it would probably just go away. So Friday night I can't sleep because of the pain and I go to the pharmacy. He looked at my hands and told me to ring 111 because I need antibiotics urgently. 111 was very good, I spoke to 3 people and they were very pleasant and professional. But I feel very foolish, it's such a waste of their time. Although th doctor made me laugh, he asked if I had any tiredness or aches or pains and I answered with "I have fibromyalgia" so he replied with " soooo that's a yes" ha!

    I feel bad also, mum wanted to watch Eurovision with me but because it took a while for the doctor to call and mum wanted to accompany me, it meant that we missed about an hour of it. But I did see the UK entry!

    I don't like antibiotics greent. I know it's nothing like what you are dealing with, but I feel pants and have taken the day off work. Now I'm annoyed that I've missed a day because I have quite a lot to get done. 

    I have been asleep most of the day. Having dreams where I've managed to take a cat to work by accident because it was sleeping on my coat while I was wearing it.

    Could not imagine what fluffer would do in the office. He's very loud and demanding. 


    This is him demanding a sock. My sock. On my foot. (He's actually very gentle with his claws)

    Feeling a bit better but still feeling like I was run over. I will message the doctor tomorrow because my hands are still very painful and my colleague looked at them land asked me what the hell I'd done to them. Another told me not to touch anything in case it spreads (she meant my face or higher up my arms).

    Went to work today. It was very... Mixed. Like everything took longer than I wanted and I was frustrated with some of the work I had done. But other bits went well. I was complimented by a boss for client wrangling. Most clients are lovely and just want to make sure they understand, I love those clients. Other clients think that I'm there to catch them out and get very defensive. I ask the questions to ensure that things are right/legal, everything else I don't care.
