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 ofDec-24Aug-25

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-24Aug-25Brother 5,400.00 7,950.00 Overdraft owed 1,349.90 0.00 MBNA CC 10,534.20 11,531.06 Barclaycard CC 9,667.21 9,771.80 Fluid CC 0.00 809.75 NatWest CC 12,018.14 11,814.72 Aqua 0.00 1,147.94

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
