Thanks SHDefinitely not what I needed when I don't work local and need proper vision to get around, it's putting a lot of pressure on my good side to compensate.Mortgage started 2020, aiming to clear 31/12/2029.2

Thanks SWI'm getting a few minutes relief with the antibiotic drops and thankfully have to do them every 2 hours, got antibiotic tablets every 4 hours too. Hopefully I'll notice a difference in a few days.Mortgage started 2020, aiming to clear 31/12/2029.4

Thanks Skinty
Read the tablet instructions last night and I'm not allowed to take my main pain meds!
Made it round the supermarket, bottom lip quivered a bit and I had to try and zone the music out. Grabbed TomBo some whiskey for Christmas. Filled my car up, petrol has dropped 2p.
Had a shower and got water on my bad eyelid, rushed to the fridge for the drops and it's calming again, but still burns.
It was spag bol for tea and we're about to have chocolate.

Thanks SkintyI've only got to get through today and tomorrow at work, when I'm back in next week I'll be off the antibiotics. The only other meds they can give me come with a sick note and I'm not ready to retire!
I am in a bad way and had a rough night.
Better get ready and I'm grateful to have an easy job now 😀Mortgage started 2020, aiming to clear 31/12/2029.2 -

Thanks SH
I made it home in time to ring the mortgage company, have to find just under £290 to reach my target this year. I've scrutinised my budget, sent some over and now have to see where I can pull pounds from to find the remaining £200 😀
Think I'll leave packing until tomorrow, shouldn't take long to do as I know what I'm taking. Cat will probably have a bigger bag than me!
I'm resting on the sofa and will watch TV in a bit.
