How did you go at the optometrist's NCOT?

btw, I have a tlc for you: look at yourself in the mirror, and say very firmly and convincingly, "I am *not* useless". Because you're not. You're very special, and we value and care about you. So there.

Ivy.

hey guys,

had a heavy day yesterday. Went into York city with my mate. We went in about 11am and left on the last train at 10pm. We went all over the place, we saw the minster, york castle museum, york boat trip and a ghost walk. We also did something rather naughty. We parked up and didt realise it was pay and display. we left the car for 11 hours and no ticket. I did tell my mate that if she gets a letter with a fine ect in, then i'll pay it for her. It was brilliant, but i'm really sore today. Hips are particulary bad. so i thik we'll just go easy today,

Tuesday TLC

* pick up kitten milk
* put money into bank
* pay phone bill
* get ice cream?
* try not to kill the kittens

Kittens have been little terrors. Gucci very nearly got squished several times last night and coco is determined to go over our 6ft wall. Which wouldnt be a problem if she wasnt so small she wont get back into the garden! So unfortunately for her, she is now banned from going out. Its a shame and i feel horribly guilty but she just cant go over the wall.

Becky - Good Luck on the job!!
Ivy - stupid fevers, they should just sod off and leave you alone!
NCOT - i hate doing dishes, with a passion, hoovering, polishing, scooping the poop in the yard ect ect. your so not alone!!
Vixen - i didnt realise you were in the good old UK. Could you try applying for a HC1 form (its all income based)? it would cover all of his healthcare, pescriptions/eye tests/dental ect. Dead handy although i am exempt for being on ESA.

Choc That sounds like an awfully long day but it sounds likje you had fun and made the most of it. I made comment to the pharmacist this morning re getting a pre-pay next year and she told me I didn't need to until he was 19-I thought once he finished 6th form that would be it but she seems to think that he will be covered to age 19 at Uni. Thats a new one on me so will investigate further. I had heard soething about the HC1 but as it income based will have to wait until he at uni(with next to no money to apply) Even if there is no luck there I think a pre-pay costs approx £120(?) and the amount he is on is well worth the £10 or so a month.

monkiray-watch this space :) dd went onto birth control too to control her skin and it has worked well. The zinert son has been on has in all honesty worked wonders, his face has gone from being a mass of bright redness and lumps and bumps to areas of pink where the lumps and bumps were. I believe this new stuff makes the skin renew itself quicker than the normal cycle so hopefully this will be one less thing for him to worry about.

Lol forgot jobs done-1 1/2 hours of weeding, 1 hour of cutting grass which wasn't fun as it was too long and wet so I ended up making pretty patterns instead. To do. walk the hound!

It was an awfully long day, i did spend alot of today doing my best duck waddling impressions. It was a really good day though.

* buy kitten milk - done
* try not to kill the kittens - still working on it!

Didnt get to the bank, but am planning on having a bath shortly. My mate headed back home about 2 hours ago so all alone again!! I have eaten more in the last two days than i've eaten in probably two weeks. My mate does me good, she gets me to eat without me realising.
Mum is having a good holiday, they're heading all over the place.

dragonfly lol But you have to remember the thought was there :D (that is what counts) re the migraine have you tried vitamin B complex, seriously? It done me so much good and it really is my 'must have' every day.

Felt so blah all evening :-/ Maybe I just had too much stodge today - only ate slightly more than usual, but it was all processed carbohydrates, what I did eat. The afternoon was a lot better than the evening. I dropped my mum off, then went into town. Made it into a chemist's, but they had very little way in the way of OTC supplements - Complan and something called Nutren, I think. Looked at them, but can't see much difference between them and a Nesquik chocolate drink, tbh :-/ At any rate, I discovered a new walk. Overdid it a bit, but I really liked the walk - it was like being in the heart of the countryside.

Anyway... *reads posts*

@Ivy - Fevers certainly are an excuse to feel yuck. They're a good excuse to basically curl up and watch TV, which is all I could do when they were bad. They seem to come and go entirely randomly (at least in my experience), but in the meantime never, ever feel guilty about resting. Fevers are debilitating.

My visit to the optician went quite well. Don't need new glasses. My short sightedness has even improved by a teensy bit. (But not the astigmatism.) As for your TLC, I will incorporate it into tomorrow's TLCs... Do I have to say it out loud? >.>

@Becky - The x-ray job sounds really good. Fingers crossed for you you get it. Good luck!

@choc - The York trip sounds great. (Did you decide against Leeds in the end?) Used to love long day trips like that, not that I ever got the chance to go on many. Don't worry about the parking; It happens... <_<. But I've also been caught out a couple of times. I always remember to get a ticket now, 'cos driving is expensive enough without paying regular parking fines.

And now, I'm off to bed shortly. It took me forever to write this post; my brain really did seize up this evening. I'm going for an early night because I have to be at the doctor's by 10am tomorrow for a blood test. Goodnight folks :p

PS: Vixen, I still have to email you. I am sorry, I will make sure I do it tomorrow :-/
