Bad - Not impressed with today's Graze box.

Good - Finished work for the day and the girls fancy going out for tea tonight, yay.

Good - Paydayyyyyy and lots of overtime over the past 2 weeks. Good stuff!

Good - Have started stretching my ears. Goal is 8mm, so far upto 2.5mm in one ear and 2mm in the other. Not much pain yet, yay.

Good - My new Crested Gecko is settling in well, I've finally got confirmation that he is eating too, which is good.

Bad/Good - Was meant to be working this Monday but due to a lame horse, I'm now off.

Good - off to the peak district this weekend

Bad - I don't really want to go

Good - wedding planning is gaining momentum. Book church, venue, photographer and ordered STD's

Good - tired from work and stressed. Good stressed but still stressed

Good - found out I can do my PGCE/DTLLS through my company, which is fab.

Good- My niece did really really well in her GCSE'S yesterday all A's and B's, very very proud of her. She has worked really hard and it doesn't come naturally to her so extra proud. She got an A* in PE which is fab as she wants to be a PE teacher so extra chuffed about that one!

Bad- I'm really poorly. In the midst of a massive flare up and I am in constant pain. I rarely let my illness get the better of me but after this week I just want to bury my head and cry, the pain is constant despite being permanently high on very strong pain killers. I stupidly tried to self massage with a stick massager thing I have and have taken all the skin off my back as I was desperate and got carried did it too hard and am now covered in blisters and bruises. Idiot.☹️ I've managed to get an emergency appointment with my consultant next Thursday so heres hoping I get some relief then.

Good- I am being considered for a trial of botox injected into my (back of)head and neck muscles to see if this stops the muscle contractions in my shoulders and could also stop my migraines. This would be amazing!!

Bad- My Dad is really stuggling with his hip brace, its made of metal so is cutting into his legs and hips and he is in lots of pain and cant walk at all. Its really set him back, although he is happy to be at home. Its putting a strain on my Mum as well. I feel helpless as I cant do anything as I'm sick too!

Good- I managed to get out for my littlest nieces birthday for a couple of hyours on Wednesday and me, her and my Mum went for lunch which was lovely.

Good- Its bank holiday so I have 3 days with H and he has gone shopping after work for lots of goodies to cheer me up he has just rang and told me.

Good- Excited for our anniversary next week. Off to Barcelona, just really really hope I am well enough not to spoil all our plans!!

Sorry mine is so depressing this week, hope everyone has a fab weekend! Good luck to our brides!

Bluebow - fingers crossed for your step-bro.

Good - I start my new job on Tuesday.

Good - My leaving present from my old job was one of those prepaid card thingies that you can use anywhere, so I can go and buy some new work clothes since I will no longer be wearing a uniform.

Good - They probably have a working photocopier at my new job (they don't at my old job).

Thanks OB, you are lovely.

H tries, but he is so scared of hurting me that I get frustrated with him! He has hidden my stick now now I cant use it! My Mum has told me off too.

I'm trying to just focus on Barcelona and get as much rest as I can the more I panic the tighter my muscles get so its a viscious circle. I'm going to have a nice bottle of vino and try and relax tonight. If I could just get a full nights sleep it would be so much better I'm exhausted!

The botox thing sounds really positive and my doctor is young and hip and quite up for trying new things. I keep saying to H that I feel like taking my spine out and strtetching it, that probably makes no sense to you but it feels too short as all the muscles are so so tight so it pulls my arms my neck and my head and shoulders tight too. I really think the botox would help. Fingers crossed!

I do that too with the hot water bottle at the time of the month! My tummy ends up bright red!

I'm going to look for a nice maxi dress to wear on our actual anniversary night now to take my mind off it, and a nice card for Ben. It will have to be worn with flip flops though I wont be able to manage heels! hee hee.

Thanks again lovely. xx
