Got to remember...

Got to remember to re-apply for my pre-payment prescription card on the 8th May so that I can get it sorted for when my current card runs out - you watch me forget!  lol

My spending addiction

According to Steve, I should get a letter about renewing my pre-payment card so I'm going to leave it until 19th May and if I haven't had the letter by then I'll do it online... sorted!

Also, having a bath seems to drown my addiction 'cos it hasn't niggled at me since I had a bath yesterday!  Yay!

Prescription pre-payment card - now or later?

I pay almost £105 for a year's pre-payment card for my prescriptions.

My current card runs out on 7th June.

Do I give in to my spending addiction and get it now or do I wait until I'm paid at the end of May?

So far, so good today!

I woke up at 7am instead of 6.30am with my alarm, oops!

Let Steve's re-enabler in, walked Mitzi and I'm about to have a bath - nothing spectacularly wonderful to most people but I'm feeling like I've already achieved a lot!

Just got to resist spending anything until July now!  If I'm careful about my spending then I'll be able to afford everything I want and still be in credit at the bank by July... just got to focus on that now!

Yaaay!

I've just worked out why I haven't got £400 in my bank account... I used it to pay off my overdraft!  That means that I'll be able to stay in credit and pay Steve back the £250 I owe him at the end of May then I'll be able to get the Capricorn chair in July, stay in credit at the bank and still have £75 a month to play with if I want to!

Spending addiction - if you're kind to me I'll let you spend the £75 however you want to... clothes, chocolate, books, magasines... anything you want is yours if you leave me alone until I've got the chair!  Deal?

I've done it! I've done it! I've done it!

I'm back in credit by £253 and I've got £1,003 available to spend if I include my arranged overdraft!  Such a good feeling!  If I don't spend anything between now and July, I'll be able to comfortably afford the wheelchair and still be comfortably in credit too!

Screw you spending addiction!

That was a bit pointless, wasn't it, spending addiction!

When I haven’t got my glasses on I can’t see.

When I’m naked I can’t leave the house.

When I’m wet it’s dangerous to use electricity.

So why did you start niggling me while I was in the shower just now?  Not going to happen any time soon so get used to it!  I will beat you if it’s the last thing I do!

I’ll make a deal with you, spending addiction, you can get one pair of trousers or one skirt from Littlewoods at the weekend if you leave me alone until then, deal?

Me V spending addiction

I've just checked my balance and I was £461 overdrawn so I asked Steve if I could move the £250 in the joint account into my personal account and pay him back £50 a month for the next 5 months so as of midnight tonight I'm no longer overdrawn and I'm one step closer to freedom!

I can see it now... as of tomorrow I'll no longer be overdrawn and only 2 months away from getting my hands on a wheelchair that will give me so much more independence and freedom... just need to remember to get an extension lead so that I can charge it up after using it each day!

I can taste it now... just need to not spend anything until July now!

You've got a fight on your hands now, spending addiction, and I'm going to win!

I really can do this... I know I can!

My spending addiction is behaving itself so far and I walked Mitzi this morning but almost went base over apex several times but as soon as I get the wheelchair I'll take her on longer walks without fear of falling over and not being able to get up!

I get paid again on Friday and I'll be in credit again!  Yay!  Then I just need to not spend anything until July and I can get the Capricorn wheelchair and start to get my freedom and independence back!

Just need to remember that whenever I want to spend anything!

I need some new skirts, trousers and knickers at some point soon 'cos the size 14 clothes are falling down on me!  So embarrassing!

Vitamin B1

The people who usually get Korsakov Syndrome are alcoholics, it's rare to have it and not be an alcoholic.

I'm one of the rare ones.

My Korsakov Syndrome was diagnosed by a Neurologist because I was severely deficient in Vitamin B1 and because it was so long before I was diagnosed I won't ever recover.

I want to try and get some B1 back into me though, so I ordered 200 Vitamin B1 pills when I ordered the B12 pills.

I have to admit I'm nervous now... I know this is the best I'll ever be and things will only get worse now but I've got to at least try!

Wish me luck!
