Again woken by the beast twice this morning one at 2am and the other at 3.30am with an attack from hell. Again it left me with a sore neck and sore back as well as sharp shooting pains over the front of the chest towards my heart. I can feel it is the nerve that is causing it as i can feel what i can only describe as elastic stretched between the joints of the arm and shoulder and up into the neck. It also runs from the back of the head down through the neck and down my back behind the left shoulder blade and each time i move it hurts like hell.
I think decorating the flat has had an effect on my back as the last couple of evenings, where i have been relaxing after a day of decorating, i have had a really sore back and when trying to get to sleep its been murder trying to get my body to relax. Thankfully we have completed most of the work that was needed to be done. We only have one wall in the hallway and the floors to do in the hall and bathroom and then we are complete. Stage 2 will be finished later today i hope leaving the final stage till just after Christmas, a new bedroom suite and re-decorated to the way i have planned.
The last week has been amazing i have seen a huge improvement in my mind set due to the flat being re-decorated and finally i have found the heart in my home and now feel like i want to clean and improve it all the time. Now considering two weeks ago i didn't even want to sweep a floor in the flat, its an amazing difference. I am also surprised hoe cheaply i was able to do everything i wanted in the flat. It has only cost me £200 and that's to do all 4 rooms and the hallway. It could have cost me that just to do one room but thanks to John for doing all the labouring for me as it saved me a fortune plus he brought me some nice little ornaments to put up in the flat that has improved the look and saved me even more money.
Its a good thing that i managed to save money doing the flat especially at this time of year. Christmas is the most expensive time of the year and even though i don’t have many people to buy presents for it still costs a lot of money. The shops need shooting the price they charge for things now days, just to do a basic food shop at Christmas time you need a loan its costs that much. This year i am going to have a simple Christmas as i will be having dinner at my mothers and then in the evening i will be back home in my newly finished flat to chill and enjoy my decorations and watch a good film. As i no longer drink i will be doing exactly the same on new years eve and new years day will be again having dinner at my mothers.
