The skin specialist rang to organise an appointment with me. Earliest they can do is end of next week. Ok. Then she tells me it’ll cost $365 and I’ll get $80 back via Medicare. She heard the thing in my voice when I agreed to the appointment and said if I wanted to cancel at any stage to just let them know by Tuesday. I just can’t afford it and Elder’s therapy as well. Feeling very conscious about the takeaway we had this evening, we shouldn’t have had it, but I came home tonight and just didn’t have it in me to cook. Mr P just laying about in bed most of the time with no energy and feeling guilty. That’s what it’s like after the heart procedure thing he had, my MIL reckons, as his dad was the same. Boss shuts the factory for 3 weeks over Xmas and New year, so that’s 3 weeks with no dough. Time to get tougher with money.
