Hope things improve quickly. (((hugs)))I Believe.....
That it isn't always enough, to be forgiven by others.
Sometimes, you have to learn to forgive yourself.
Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery
Today is a gift. That's why it is called the present.
happiness isn't achieved by getting extra things,
but by getting rid of the things that make you unhappy1 -
I hope you feel better soon.1

Well, since my pain was no longer confined to my face and I have a numb arm I decided to check in with 111 for advice. 111 sent me to 999 and they assessed me and decided I needed to be seen in A&E asap for a possible heart attack. Many hours later, I am now back in bed in exactly the same position as when I started (obvs no heart attack), but now I am ridiculously tired and will be missing another day of work. Oh yeah, and I am still in pain! 👍End of

How awful for you. I hope you managed to get some sleep and it eases today. Was it triggered by going out a few days ago when you walked the dogs? Though I think you were suffering from cabin fever and needed that change of scene.
I hope you have a better day today. It improved after the car accident, so it can do so again. However, I can understand you thinking there may be pressure on a nerve, have they addressed that at all?I think a bit of sunshine is good for frugal living. (Cranky40)

Thanks for all your well wishes, it was really kind of you all.Summary of today: eat, sleep, feed and cuddle puppies, painkillers, repeat.I tried to get a GP appointment but failed - will try again tomorrow.
Literally the only other thing that I have done today was apply for my switch to Nationwide. I didn’t have the energy to reconcile my accounts but I am desperate to keep doing at least one baby step towards the plan no matter what, and it was something that required little brain power. I had already planned to sort the switch today so everything was already lined up, I just kicked it over the line.Thankfully, I had a Morrisons shop delivered over the weekend so lots of food already in for the week - no takeaways needed.And, true to her word, dd2 has knocked off every bit of cleaning that was on the list and our house is now back to feeling clean. 👍End ofDec-24 May-25 Brother £ 5,400.00 £ 5,200.00 Overdraft owed £ 1,349.90 £ - MBNA CC £ 10,534.20 £ 12,056.18 Barclaycard CC £ 9,667.21 £ 8,138.15 Fluid CC £ - £ 732.50 NatWest CC £ 12,018.14 £ 11,774.23 Total debt £ 38,969.45 £ 37,901.06

Hope you get an appointment - our GP has an econsult that they triage and if needed book you a same day appointment so it’s not quite as mad a rush at 8am.Sealed pot challenge 822
