On Sunday I had my sixth nose bleed since July so I rang the surgery. They told me to come in. The doctor checked me over thoroughly and prescribed some antibiotic ointment and said if it continues then to come back. She also said if it last for 20 minutes or more to phone 999.

I think today they are going to choose a new Speaker for the House of Commons. I vote for Harriet Harman.

I woke up this morning in a sorry state. Lily was throwing up all over the place and my back had seized up as well as the rest of me hurting. I have just taken some painkillers – hope they kick in quickly! 

I know my doctor said my pain is muscular but every now and then my rib goes c’thunk when I breathe in. Just makes me think… they don’t do anything for cracked ribs anyway. I just possibly wouldn’t have to wait so long for my bone density scan!

I saw the doctor who confirmed the pain is muscular and she gave me more co-dydramol. She said I shouldn’t go to my exercise class (Lung Club) until I am completely pain free. With all this pain I am wondering if it is worth it at all!

Having spent loads of money on different products to hide my cat’s pill in she has decided she is not going to eat any of them so I have gone back to hiding it in her chicken. Ugh!!!

I was sitting at my exercise class, bent over to pick up my record card and a bad pain took over under my right breast. Really bad pain ever since.

The European Union flags are back in Westminster. That feels better. What will it feel like after we have left, I hate to think about it.

Lily, my cat, hasn’t touched her breakfast this morning or her easypill with her tablet in it. I will have to be patient and keep my fingers crossed!

I put all of my manual clocks back an hour yesterday morning so I had to work out what the correct time was. To top it all I watched Fox +1 channel so I was watching programmes an hour later than in the TV Times. A bit confusing!
