You know that game you play "If I won the lottery I would buy.." I have been playing all afternoon,but it starts "When I can get back to work" to which the household informed me it isn't a when but an if, which didn't help the mood but still I wrote out a list.
That was a wake up call, I wouldn't say I have expensive taste, but I certainly have quality tastes. The items on it aren't every day purchases but ones that would last for quite a while but its amazing how quickly you could go through some money. I'll give you a look at some of the list and the prices
Converse hi top £55
Angel perfume £40
Kandee shoes and matching bag £250
See what I mean and thetas just a taster of things I would like and at present won't be getting. Then there is the stuff I would like to get to amuse my bored little mind.
Acrylic paint set and canvas £35
New books £25
Two new DVDs £28
Two new Cd's £22
Since when has life got so expensive. And this list doesn't count the £10,000 of house hold repairs needed. I so need to be back at work and yet all I keep being told is there is no quick fix. On top of that I now have the DH SS asking how long I have had these conditions and how long do I think it will take to heal? I nearly told them to go look at some tarot cards as that's as good an answer as any I can give. But I wasn't that rude and pointed them in the direct of some experts who will probably tell them something similar but they will have letters after their name so it will be taken seriously.
So whilst the powers that be decided whether I should get money to prove I am ill, I am scheming ways of being able to afford something to amuse myself. In other words I am so bored its annoying. If I see another Jeremy Kyle or similar program I think my brain will tune to mush and leave through my ears.
It is hard when you are limited in movement to find things to do, as cooking is out until I buy my kitchen stool, walking is limited, that leaves the static arts. Painting involves materials and writing although is a good out let you need things to write about.
So for the moment I go back to my fantasy shopping list and praying it comes with the fairy godmother or Santa Claus.. maybe I had a few too many tablets today ?
Love this! Dread to think how much money I could get through on my own fantasy shopping list!
