Sick and sick of being sick

Yes I am sick yet again! It seems I am always sick these days.
I have flu yet again (second time this year) and I am not one bit pleased about it. I started getting sick the other Saturday (Saturday before last) and it got to it's worst last Wednesday (1st March) and it was really bad that day, I felt like my face was on fire. It didn't improve much the next few days but over the last 2 days I have improved a little though I am still a fair way off being well again but at least I am slowly getting there.

I am about 2 weeks behind (almost) on my course work, well more than that really as it was 5 weeks worth of work in two weeks and a TMA in 2-3 days and I should of had that out the way and been back on my other course but I'm not :O( I wish I was and in fact I am hoping I can do an hours worth of course work tomorrow, I am hoping I will be up to that and the way I am feeling now I can say I will be and am looking forward to getting some done. With me still not being 100% I won't push myself but I am hoping to be fully back into it by weekend as I need to get it done and get the TMA done.
I think I will need to get an extension on it as well otherwise it just isn't going to be finished on time. I really didn't want to get a extension but it looks like it is the only way I am going to get it done on time.

Maybe it is a good job I couldn't go back to DD100 when I wanted to because I still haven't got the course books. SMS were meant to deliver it in Jan and it still isn't here. I keep rearranging for them to delivery it on a particular day but they never turn up and 6 weeks later I still don't have it. I contacted the OU today about it as I need that course work now as I was meant to start it the other week and they are going to send it out with Parcel Force because I asked them to as there will be more chance of me getting it that way :O) So with some luck I will have that by next week and will be able to start it when I finish with A217.

I was talking to my friend today about doctors and how I have to get an appointment at mine - what I have to go through to get one.
With our doctors there is no ringing up and booking a appointment later in the week, you have to ring up when they open and hope you get through and get an appointment for that day because there is no booking ahead. I think that is a total pain as I would much prefer to ring up and make an appointment at a time convenient for me but I can't do that so if you need to see the doctor for something you have to take the day off work and hope you get in.
Last time I wanted/needed to go it took 4 hours to get through and I got the last appointment as there was only one doctor on that day which is a pain. I am also needing to go and I have more than one thing I want to discuss with the doctor but I feel like I can't as they are always rushing you in and out and I heard the worse thing you can say to a doctor is "I've got a list", there are a few things I want to discuss but this whole doctor's experience is putting me off so much.

I need an eye test. I haven't been in 2 years and I got the thing through saying I was due and I knew I was due anyway as I have been looking forward to it for ages now. I got diagnosed with astigmatism in both eyes last time as was told I had to wear glasses all the time and I do and not many people know I wear them because I refuse to wear them out the house. I don't suffer without them but am short sighted. Anyway I was told if I wear them my eye shape could alter slightly and it would allow me to wear contacts - which I really want. So when I go back I was hoping to get contacts this time but now the time has come I don't have much money and don't think I can afford them because they aren't that cheap to keep getting. I need a new pair of glasses anyway no matter what as I can't wear contacts all the time when I get them so I am hoping to get a pair of designer glasses too but I so don't want to go back at the moment because I can't afford the contacts lenses which I really want. I don't know what to do, I really need some new glasses as the ones I have now have a few scratches on and are worn out and they don't look right on me - that is my dad's fault as I took him to help me pick a pair and he wasn't much help at all, next time I will get someone in the shop to help me.

I am behind on my one book a week, I should be on my last Dan Brown book now but I am still on Sex and Drugs and Sausage Rolls by Robert Rankin and should of read Sourcery by Terry Pratchett last week but have been ill. I read a little of my book this evening and if I read 50 pages a day till Monday I will have read it and can read Sourcery next week. I would say I will read Digital Fortress next week too but I don't know how my study and what not is going to go so we will see I guess.

I really could do with going to the dentists too, I don't have one anymore because I got kicked off my dentists books for not going in 18 months. It is a shame as I had a really good dentist who made me no longer scared of going to the dentists. I so can't remember when I last went but when I think of it I think I was 19 and that is bad if that is the case. I really need to find me a dentist who I like and who I can trust as I really need to see one. It's all a case of money yet again and that is something I don't have much off at the moment.

I am meant to be saving for London but haven't saved a penny and my hotel is £450 and I don't have that. I was meant to be saving a grand so I could treat myself but at the moment that isn't looking likely. I don't know what to do, I have been looking for part time jobs but there doesn't seem to be many about and nothing in the area that I want. I did apply for a couple of full time jobs and got an interview which I turned down like an idiot. I wish I had gone now.
It is March now and I am running out of time and I have two birthdays this week and then mothers day and then my next phone bill. OMG! I don't want to know about my next phonebill, to be honest I am dreading it and expecting it to be at least £100. I hope it isn't much more than that as £100 is more than enough right now with me not having any money coming in. I sent way too many video messages in a 2 week period, nearly 100 from counting them in the sent items on my phone as well as loads of pics and texts. I don't mind the texts but from now on the video messages will be cut down and not too many pic messagIs i think.
