Three years to get debt free

Oh I feel your pain, about two weeks ago I was on the verge of just waking out my job - just the way I was feeling totally fed up, wanted a change. My boss says just go off sick have a wee rest (lovely boss, he dislikes the higher management in there) but thankfully I came round and realised I’m  skint and having no job would cause me more problems 🤣🤣. 

That’s soo annoying about your prescription x

Thanks Parky.

I just seem to be hearing bad news after bad news and work just isn’t great. The bad news makes me realise how short life can be.

Your boss does sound absolutely lovely though!

Oh I know about hearing bad news, one of my friends sister has breast cancer, other friends niece has ovarian cancer they are both only in their thirties with young children. Girl with ovarian cancer has spread and they’re not hopeful the treatment will work. It is absolutely heartbreaking far far too young x

😢 cancer is currently ripping through 4 members of my family. One we thought was in remission has had another tumour found.

Nothing today however, the selling money I couldn’t access has been released so that will be £50 in tomorrow! 

I found an old diary today and in it are my discharge notes from a few years ago. I knew it listed medication I should avoid but hadn’t really processed what type other than the ones I recognised. I googled one of them today and it’s actually a blood pressure tablet. Sort of a bit of a shock because if I ever get high blood pressure I’m not sure how they’d manage it as I can’t have the medication without it causing complications. Just a big kick up the bum to look after my heart.

I’ve put weight on recently as I’ve not been strict with my diet. Think this is the wake up call I needed to get back on track. I got too comfortable and happy and with my condition I really can’t do that with foods. 

Hope everyone is ok xx

@Willowtree222 - don't worry about BP medication there are lots of different ones.  There is one type I can't have but the GP found something which works well for me.  It's a bit trial and error but I'm sure you'll be OK.  Might be worth keeping a note of the ones you shouldn't have for the future so that you'll know if your GP tries to give you something you shouldn't have!

Thank you. I’m hoping I never have to have it however, it runs in my family. 

I’ve never actually googled most of what my notes said as I was a bit scared and know I know why! 

I’ve had no gluten or dairy today which has to be the first time in a long time. I need to get back on this.
