#BlogLife797 - Blankie blues/Christmas wishlist

I feel like ever since I got this heated blankie 2 years ago, it's been half dead and this morning I woke up, connected it and the buttons weren't responding.

I had hoped that the plugs weren't pushed in properly and I fiddled about with them and eventually, it powered up but it's only warmish and only in certain parts.

I guess that is better than nothing but it's now at the top of my Christmas wishlist, to win one.

I'm still being cautious with my spending and a new one would probably be just under a £100 which is steep.

I don't need much, new slippers, a new nightie, something for the sweet tooth, some inspiration for the stories.

Plus a month free of headaches, pain and stress, would be a delight. Plus some Neutrogena moisturiser.

Oh and of course a new Samsung phone. I doubt Mama's local shop will offer me a good deal but I'll stay with my outdated contract until something cheaper comes along.

That would be such a wonderful Christmas gift to myself to get that crossed off my to-do list.

Although I still like my OnePlus phone, the battery needs charging multiple times a day and the screen is so dull, I hate it.

It makes gaming really unpleasant, as you're constantly squinting and putting the screen on the highest brightness possible, just to see what you're doing clearly.

I can't wait to compare the difference with a newer bright and shiny Samsung.

That was a surprise, the knock off Ferreros are still £3, no discounts aside from the multi buy, which I didn't want to do.

Then I spotted that the actual Ferreros, the 16 box were on sale for £2.50 ha, so I just bought that instead, I wish it was the dark chocolate instead of milk but it's a great bargain.

I'll probably take it to Mama's to share with her. Mama went to our mutual Optician and told him I was miffed about only getting one lens instead of a set and he said, that's only what is permitted but I'm sure it had been a few years.

Good heavens when can I get the other bloody lens so I have a full set???

The other thing is I felt really stuffy, was coughing and felt nauseated and dizzy today, so as I was walking to the UC meeting I felt like I was going to pass out.

Even when I got up to see him, I swayed hard and was holding onto things, I wasn't exaggerating or faking, the pmt symptoms are hitting me hard.

Plus maybe I'm just rundown, so I just asked him for a phone appointment for the last one of the year as I know, when I'm actually on my monthly..

I'm going to be feeling even worse with the loss of iron. I didn't hide my disgust when he said he has no more phone privileges available as he has overused them.

But thankfully he booked me into his colleague for a phone one because I think I would have begged at that point.

He said something akin to it's between 9am-2pm, what on earth? But then he said maybe 11amish?

Why are people so shocked, when sick people struggle. He seemed totally shocked that I was in that state.....

Hello.........Long term ill, buses aren't running, my body is under duress.

Then he was like I found a course, register with it and I thought ugh but I'll get to it, eventually.

For the first time in ages, I actually wanted to browse a few shops but I stopped myself because I needed to conserve my energy to walk partway home.

I had no idea, that our New Look, just got taken over by Bodycare, the online company I used and then had a bit of strife with.

I liked them but I detest a company that stresses me out, nice that they are local now though.

Also we have a Sam discount store and a beauty shop. I'm not sure how long they have been there, when I'm walking, I'm usually concentrating on keeping myself upright and in a straight line.

I seem to zigzag like a drunk person. My back is now killing me but later when I unpack the shopping and change I'll be able to relax.

I thought screw it, I'm getting some fizzy drinks for energy and a burger and sandwich as I don't want to stand up, it's better I lounge because the pain will increase, if I don't rest.

I'm not tired actually, even though I feel like I haven't slept. It's probably because I kept waking up thinking, is it morning, did I miss the alarms? 

Will I be late? I checked the post, no news there and I don't get why my arms are killing me to move, yeesh, the pain is spreading all around I guess.

It would be easier and beneficial if I could nap, my body could start to recuperate but I'm wired.

I have to get the blankie out and unfold it but I'm too tired, when the food gets here, I'll do it, not moving a muscle is bliss right now.
