System Failure !

Thanks @triple_choc_chip and @Debsnewbudget😼
It'll be nice to get both issues out of the way . I had another variation with mr trainer today🥵🏋️‍♀️and fell asleep for quite a while . Part of that is probably because of the heating being on . 

I'm still plodding along , and sleeping pattern has improved over last few days . 

I still get the usual side effects of my condition , but if I keep going the way I am I think it's the only way forward . Speaking of my condition , mr specialist from st Thomas's hasn't been in touch as of yet . I hope he is okay . My phone appointment was for 8th December
. 

I received my new water bill last week from Wessex water . I got a refund of £138 approx ,as I have been overpaying all bills since moving here .  I get two 6 monthly statements from them . It means now that I don't owe anything other than the direct debits , but I do miss not having something in reserve in case I get into trouble. Then again , at least I know what's infront of me and I'll just carry on direct debits as usual . 

Hope everyone's okay .
I'll leave it there...☃️

Well done AC. I am rubbish at Excel. I did a course once in the city and actually fell asleep!
It must be the day for bills as an electricity/gas bill thumped on my doormat...
Glad your mood is on the up. it's hard this time of year. Soon be Spring!

Thanks DIA 😼
That made me laugh about you going to sleep . 🥱. I think it's blatantly obvious that although I put myself forward for a few things while on universal credit , the thought of doing an excel course was something that would never motivate me ( also scary ). I still have the word to do, and will try that tomorrow .

Speaking of the Microsoft office course I have enrolled in.. It was scheduled to start in January . Obviously postponed till late March . I received an email on Friday  telling me that it has been postponed until April . On this latest email, skills and learning have given me the option to cancel . I may do so for two reasons : The main reason is the 4 buses ( 2 to get to the college , and 2 back). Plus the version of Microsoft office I have still works on my Mac . After the turbulent year last year , I feel in the mood now to get my finger out👉 and get on with learning what is on there while I'm in my current mood . 

I received another home shop from Waitrose this morning 🛒. 

I'm still keeping well and truly away from crisps , but this weather is making me very hungry . 

I'll leave it there ..

Well done on keeping off the crisps - they are my downfall too.

Me too. All that crunchy, salty deliciousness...:(

Okay ...
The night before last  I had raging headaches and poor sleep . 🛏
I looked at the word course , took the exam and failed (65%) . Fair enough , I'll take it again . 

I had a really nice chat with my local friend ☎️. 

I did one of the more punishing workouts 🏋️‍♀️🥵
I also arranged a cab to take me to the place for my Covid jab .🚖
The first cab co couldn't do it , but the nice lady gave me a number of another cab firm 
Great 👍
This morning , I woke up from a better sleep . Better form , although slightly anxious about the Covid jab situation .

Cab driver ..brilliant ! They are up against it , and he waited for me to take me back.
I tipped him as I do, and he was delighted . When I looked at directions on google maps, the fare was a lot less than they quoted . 

The medical centre I went to ( heatherview ) were absolutely brilliant . Everyone was so friendly and professional  from the people guiding me through to the actual medical staff .
I was told of the risks etc , but doing as I'm told I should be okay although I may get flu like symptoms for a couple of days . Painless injection . 

Today feels like weds instead of thurs for some reason . 

One other bit of good news is that my jeans fit me better than when I put them on in January . Much as I love crisps, it's times like that when you know you have to stay away and stay strong .
Anyhow , hope your days are ok .
I'll leave it there ...

All sounding good AC. You have the jab out of the way. Your first step to freedom.
It's good when you can see your behaviour has resulted in weight loss.

MrsPorridge

Glad you had your jab AC (I can't wait for mine).  I am sure I will feel less anxious once I have it.  

You have done so well with your weight loss and keeping up with your exercises.

AC, just a heads up 're the jab -the medical staff will tell you "flu like symptoms for a couple of days - the reality for wife and I has been 5 days of a variety of minor irritations, from flu like to stiff arm/hot and itchy jab site/slight lethargy, none of which were serious and all of which are now gone. Roll on the second jab and a then a further few weeks later maximum protection! Keep safe😁.
