    Feeling better again today but still very tired. Today is the last day of the antibiotics so fingers crossed. My hands are looking a lot better but my mum's neighbour was revolted by them! 

    Need to work this weekend but do not want to tonight. Think instead I will try to do some of the housework that I've been neglecting.

    Went to my late uncles house today, filled half the boot with stuff. All needs to be gone through and checked with alive uncle if he's happy to get rid. But we are getting there. Mum won't entertain getting rid of one of the five or so record players. Baring in mind that she already has a few in her house. Also went to paperchase with my sister who hasn't been outside in a while because she's been ill. Spent money on getting her a gift and something for mum as well. 

    Still need to sort money. I don't have any idea what my investments are doing.

    She's got great taste!

    I'm posting so late because my hands are hurting and itching. But I shall try to give a pleasant update.

    Finally cleaned my kitchen yesterday! Had to wear gloves and not very thoroughly but it's great not having a disgusting kitchen.

    Also looked at my investments which have not faired as badly as I thought. My cash is up which is always nice to see. My EF is nearly complete so then I can start saving for other things like mum's birthday gift next year.

    Also finally booked the hotel room for the wedding but they've only booked one night instead of two.

    Work is hectic as ever.

    Tomorrow is dad's birthday, always a weird time. We shall celebrate as ever in a way he would have but every year that passes is a year where I wonder what might have been. Regardless, it's one of the most expensive days if the year where we must eat excessive amounts of meat and be loud and rowdy. It is the way.

    Yesterday was my uncles death day, so my living uncle decided to be hospitalised apparently. The bloody cheek! I didn't find out until this morning, my living uncle has no qualms about scaring people by disappearing and not letting people know. It's not cool.

    My hands hurt like crazy. I have to put plasters on them because they start bleeding and oozing. My friend just mentioned that they look like a chemical burn. The doctor finally got back to me and gave me some steroid cream with some instructions but like, am I allowed to use painkillers? What happens at the end of the two weeks? E-consult is great but I need more instruction! Clearly I'm not doing something right. Having said that, it is much improved.


    Should really stop moaning, life isn't that bad. My friend has finally quit his job, I'm so pleased for him. Hopefully the next one will be better!

    I bought some bits from the shop but used a gift card ( thanks work) so I felt a bit like I was playing the system. 

    The hen is next weekend. I'm really excited but also nervous. I really hope the bride likes it. Everyone else, like... It would be nice if they enjoy themselves, but not quite as important. The big event has prizes which I have been picking up from car boot or charity shops. The grand prize is a furby! No one but the bridesmaids know. And now the internet. Hopefully no one who knows me reads this.
