How is your day going?

@Sandy_123 Thats so frustrating, chemists should by now be using 1 system and can get up any prescription so you can goto any chemist and collect anything. I hate this nominating a chemist system, before I switched GP's my old gp used to send them miles away for some reason.

Hope your dog has a speedy recovery, good thing you went to the vets this morning. Whats your plans for the rest of the day?

I bought a sandwich from the shop as fancied an energy drink so got a meal deal instead, but I've just been sat looking at the sandwich for 20mins 😂

@Beaver79 wow thats expensive. I really want a pet but when it comes to vet bills and things I'm not sure I could afford one. I would have to use the PDSA if I had a pet or atleast get it insured, but with insurance do you have to pay upfront first and then claim the money back? not sure how it works.

Sandy_123

I feel rubbish to be honest and I'm having a slow day

@rubin16 I agree maybe get to speak to a Dr

@beaver79 that's good then dog is sorted

Got me @Albus_Scope to hey asked for a pic how does one take a selfie of tonsils

Albus_Scope

Haha, that's something I wasn't expecting to be asked today @Sandy_123 🤣

I've had to do that myself and found it easier using the front facing camera, with the light on, then get infront of a mirror and just hope for the best.

Hey everyone thanks for your nice messages I throughly enjoyed the Aqua and I even managed to walk home, it took me a while to walk but I did it and I’m so glad I pushed myself. I’m jealous off all off yous there’s no sunshine up here. I know it might be to warm for some off yous but the heat really helps my bones.

@Sandy_123
Sorry your getting messed about with the duct it’s and chemist. I hope it gets sorted quick for you.

@Bibliokept
I think you should definitely go with the bright curtains it’ll brighten everywhere up for you.

@rubin16
Sorry your poorly again I hope you feel better soon.

@66Mustang
Hope your meeting with your support worker went well.

@Beaver79
That’s a shame poor dog hope the antibiotics work quickly, pity about the price you had to pay. 🙄

❤️

Tagging messing about again.

Sandy_123

Dont give the drs that idea @Beaver79 they'll start using them for referrals. Actually if your too big to fit in the MRI scanner they send people to Dudley zoo to use animal scanner lol.

Well done @Lou67

@Albus_Scope I think I'll pass lol

Round and round you go,what a farce.

Our dog's had a few ear infections @Beaver79 ,all caused by attacking the hosepipe.

We keep her in the house now when we're cleaning the pond.

@Ada
You would be eligible to use the PDSA because your on benefits. It’s worth looking into.

rubin16

Thanks @Ada and @Beaver79. I'm thinking of getting a cat to keep me company but just weighing costs for now.

Teigr

We have to pay the first £250.00 on Scout's insurance @Ada,none of her mishaps have cost more than £75.00 so far.

rubin16

I need to ask my landlord first if I'm allowed a cat, but my neighbour has a cat and my other neighbour a dog so don't see an issue with it. But i'm weighing things out like costs of things such as insurance, food and toys and things, I'm also worried about them scratching my furniture at first so will have to buy plenty of scratch mats/posts and train them. Theres also the debate of letting them outside and training them to come back which I'm not sure how to do and getting them chipped and neutured.

I would love a pet though I think it would do me a world of good if I had someone to look after and take care of instead of just myself all the time.

Sandy_123

Thanks @Biblioklept I'm going to make a soup with the left over chicken I have to ack in the veggies and herbs

I had the sandwich like an hour ago, but had to force myself to eat it in the end. I do generally feel like its just the heat putting me off eating as I feel well other than that.

rubin16

Not done much today to be honest. I had my step dad round earlier and just been doing laundry and other bits but other than that nothing planned today. Its just too hot today even in my cool flat its warm.

@Biblioklept Having a rainbow coloured fence sounds fun, I'm not very good at DIY but maybe if they were sanded abit they might not be as splintery.

Sandy_123

Sounds colourful, @Biblioklept

I haven't done a lot either @rubin16

Sandy_123

Would of looked nice tho @Biblioklept

Yeah I see him twice a week, I say step dad to make it easier for people to understand but I call him dad and he pretty much claimed me as his son when my actual dad wasn't on the scene. My sister is my step dads daughter. I only really got to know and be around my real dad since I was 12.

Sandy_123

No @Biblioklept I'm just doing as less as possible sat in the shade and came in was too hot
