What makes it even worse is that I'm uber busy as well. The office is pretty much empty, so if anything needs to be done it's coming my way.

Although I'm not going to lie, I'll be throwing on Netflix after lunch on a big screen later and taking it handy with whatever chocolates I can find about the place.

Bah. I seem to have developed a nasty chest and throat infection. Just in time for Christmas.

I can't afford the doctor. I was already there twice last week with a different issue, and am due back there again next week. €55 each time. I guess I'll try to hold out till my appointment next week before going to him, but it's pretty bad, I'm not sure that's a good idea, and of course him and most other doctors will be closed over Christmas.

Really sad to see doctors gouging repeat patients. I'm lucky in that my doctor is fairly sound and wouldn't dream of charging a second time of his first diagnosis/treatment didn't take.

My TA for today is that a seal is gone in the door of my car so the floor is wet and the whole car STINKS.

We have a tin in work too, but whoever opened it first threw the thing out. Never know which ones are nice now, and did they get rid of the coffee ones again?

Drat! I extracted the key from a second tin and put it down somewhere.. I had a delicious coffee one last night so they are still there. Cannot remember which it was...as no one else is here I can squeeze each one to find the cremes

Have you tried putting in a drop of hot oil? That worked for me before. Some weird witchcraft thing the OH's mother in Brazil did (presumably they don't have penicillin there yet ) but it worked. Plugged it with cotton for half an hour and it was fine after.

Agree totally. This was always our remedy as kids and it still works. We used warmed olive oil but I resorted to cooking oil in desperation and it was grand. Warm not hot and dip the cotton wool in it.

Oh well, its a first world problem but I'm very annoyed!

One of my cats indulged in projectile vomiting last night and the same today.. the only new food they are having is raw turkey which they get every Christmas.. wait and see time and remove the raw turkey... Maybe she just ate far too fast!

I love it! And it works. Numbs the area so you can rest.

In the doctors waiting room and the radio is blasting, people are having conversations while shouting and someone smells like cat piss. I hate public places.

Also can't believe that some people's doctors charge the full price if they're back within a few weeks. Mine is 50 for the first visit and 30 if I've to go back in that same month!

Somebody put me out of my misery....wtf is this millennial thing?

It's largely marketing hookum but the idea is that each 'generation' has similar experiences growing up that make them noticably different to the generation before or after.

So Baby Boomers (born 1945-1960) had the Cold War, the Beatles, Hippy culture etc.
I'm Generation X (1960-1980) and grew up with Regan/Thatcher the fall of the Iron Curtain.
Gen Y (1980 to 1995) were all about 9/11 and reality tv.
Millenials (post 1995) are now coming of age and seem to all about sending photos of their bits to relative strangers (as far as I can tell).

Do you not qualify for a medical card? I think you said you are on illness benefit? Maybe phone Citizens Info and see what you are entitled to that you are not getting?

That I must now leave the warm bed I retreated to after a massive cleaning session to light the range I gave a really good face wash...( The real reason is that yet again I need the bathroom which is a permanent TA of my age...)

Awww! back in my lovely warm bed.. I have to confess that the kitchen was desperately mucky , meaning the floor, as I have M.E and big work like that gets neglected, so now I am really getting it sorted.. There is no porch so in this weather mud gets in ..I cant have Santa crawling down the winding range chimney to a mucky floor! So "just" the floor to wash and am hoping to have the energy later ,,...if he decides to use the other chimney! That room still needs sorting! I am not trading at market the next three months so will do all the big house jobs and any painting that needs doing and maybe the garden...LOVE these domestic days.

Years ago my dr said TCP was the thing! For me it numbed the throat so stopped the coughing. How can anything be a waste of TIME? Of money I can understand..
