    Won't be saving for some time P. - just putting money aside to pay for the annual bills and any emergencies.

    Have one of those sooner than anticipated. Yesterday didn't go great - went into work even though migraine was still hovering. Car packed in en route (thankfully close to garage and work) so had to get recovery sorted and walk in. Then migraine came back with a vengeance and I couldn't stay but had 2 bus journeys to get home. Made it finally and spent the rest of the day in bed - still had the migraine by the evening. I've had migraines for years but these 2-3 day ones are new to me so I guess I need to get them checked out by the doctor.

    Anyway car needs new accelerator cable - should be fixed today - but more expense! :( At least was paid today - and OH has been away for the past few days earning extra money and I have my workshop tomorrow - so have some extras coming in!

    Today am working from home as migraine is still hovering - is OK at the moment but I don't want to be stuck at work if it comes back. Jobs to do:
    • Two outstanding reviews (now late!)
    • Start funding bid
    • Put together workshop packs
    • Sort out notes and kit for workshop
    • Pick up car
    • Go to PO and chemist
    • Check for any matched bets for the EB WR
    • Redeem Bet24 free bet
    • Training class this evening

    Hi Mizmir sorry to hear about the migraine and hope you get better soon.Is it stress induced or do you maybe need an eyetest and glasses?...I think if you work with computers you're employer should pay for an eye test.
    Sorry to hear about the car as well if it's not one thing it's another..isn't it?

    Hi Taxi

    Think it might be stress - or the weather - or hormones - or eye strain - or a combination of things! Already have glasses/contacts - might need stronger ones. Will see about the work eye test thing.

    Thanks.

    Ouch on the migraine and the car packing in - but everything else seems as though it is perking up mizmir! (from a Dragon who has kept under 300 pounds!)

    Tis a lot better thanks El. - darkened room was yesterday - today the meds seem to be keeping it at bay (though I am making sure I take lots of breaks from the computer).
