The NHS are in my pocket this week
Yesterday I went to the optician. It's £24 but at least it looks like they're doing something (unlike my dentist, which I'll get to in a moment). My eyes have got a little worse and my astigmatisms have shifted, so I have to get new glasses. I mean, I don't suppose I have to but if I don't they'll only deteriorate faster as they try to compensate for the glasses that I have not being quite right. After four years (the approximate amount of time I have been wearing my glasses constantly) of wanting transition lenses, I will finally be getting them! The new glasses cost £139 all told (£100 for the lenses, £39 for the frames) and mum had to ask my dad to go halves on the price with her, which he did, because he's a good daddeh.
Today, I went to the dentist. I spent £16.50 to sit in the chair for under two minutes, while he checked my teeth and told me (as usual) that they're more than fine. I should refuse to pay for that. It's daylight robbery.
It was pouring with rain for most of the day. My sister came into Leigh with me since she had a docs appointment and after I'd been to the dentist we waited until 4pm then went to the docs, then we got on the bus and went to Wigan, where I treated her to a Pizza Hutt and then the cinema. We went to see Ice Age 3.
It was fantastic =D
By the end it hadn't taken me long to fall in love with my favourite character. Buck (short for Buckminster, long for 'Buh'. ). A smart-talking, fast-moving, most definitely cracked in the head one-eyed weasel with a definite mental resemblance to Captain Ahab. And best of all, he's voiced by Simon Pegg, and has a classic English accent! I will be buying it on DVD just for him. He really made that film. I just wish he- Well, no. I won't spoil it for you =)
I'm going to the doctors to have my blood taken (again) on Thursday. At 10am. So I get to get up early to go into town and have a needle stuck in my arm. Joy. At least it's free.

Ah yeah. I'm not giving blood (they don't want mine). I'm iron deficient so this is for a test. If I'm okay now, THEN I'll be giving blood.
