It's been one of those weeks for me. </div><div><div style="text-align: justify;">I've been testing out our NHS system this week....and it's failed hopelessly. I had conjunctivitis and had to go to two Chemists to get treatment for it....the Pharmacist in the first one didn't even look at my eye but told the lady serving on the counter to tell me I should just bathe it with cooled boiled water for 48 hours. We then went to our local Boots chemist where the Pharmacist looked at my eye and gave me eye drops to clear it up straight away.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Saturday morning I then developed Oral thrush [it's a side effect of one of my inhalers I use for my asthma]. I went straight to the Chemist who told me there was only one thing they could give me which was a gel that they hadn't had in stock for weeks!! The only way I could get treatment was to get a prescription so several phone calls later, an appointment at the emergency Dr at A and E for 2.30 that afternoon that took over 3 hours I finally got some Nystatin to treat it with.....our NHS has gone crazy......needless to say my mouth is still rather sore but I'm hoping it will clear up soon.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Luckily it's been rather quiet here with customers this week so I have been doing a bit more sewing for the charity.....</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEincmYPWilqSme9tQGuzVwCZZ4wZxHotIq4oWNeTrEjo6B5Y3PrbEvfpGweymKDK6DEt_Q6UThcbIMXAG9lbkz7sfyaTmaD287nhQtQPfri_rpq7xF6lwqo6ON1BkSuB_nbrS4OUxxvG9W6ThCAGqfGP0nFJloAi37RXX8ebyLjJWR27_CweHWnvBY8990C/s4032/IMG_0595.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEincmYPWilqSme9tQGuzVwCZZ4wZxHotIq4oWNeTrEjo6B5Y3PrbEvfpGweymKDK6DEt_Q6UThcbIMXAG9lbkz7sfyaTmaD287nhQtQPfri_rpq7xF6lwqo6ON1BkSuB_nbrS4OUxxvG9W6ThCAGqfGP0nFJloAi37RXX8ebyLjJWR27_CweHWnvBY8990C/w400-h300/IMG_0595.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">I've made these 7 lined shopping bags....I hope they sell well and raise the funds.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">That's all from me for this week....I will do my best to pop by to see what you've been up to as soon as I can.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Hugs,</div><div><div style="text-align: justify;">Annie x</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: #0084ff; color: white; font-family: "Segoe UI Historic", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="background-color: #0084ff; color: white; font-family: "Segoe UI Historic", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><br /></span></div><div><br /></div></div></div>Anniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12564678114875826791noreply@blogger.com14tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5769800031871534836.post-40618946697776229152024-02-23T06:30:00.002+00:002024-02-23T07:53:03.206+00:00This week's smiles.....week 362<p style="text-align: justify;"> Hello all.
