MY BIG DAY OUT

Yesterday I finally got my DLA sorted and was paid my backdated amount of money, we just need to get Candy’s carers allowance paid to us and then we should be back to normal and not be struggling again(fingers crossed).
We went shopping to Northallerton and we treated ourselves to some prezzies as we never celebrated our birthdays, our anniversary and Christmas last year.
I did feel a bit guilty in buying stuff for us as we have not done so in such a long time but Candy reminded me that we deserved it after the last year of crapstorm we have both had.
We had a meal at the Durham Ox pub and I had an amazing cheese burger, chips, and onion rings which is a meal I’ve not had in a very long time and I have missed eating onion rings, Candy had hunters chicken with salad which she enjoyed.
As we were eating our meal, our landlord texted me wanting to know what time and where to meet us to pick up the rent.
So Candy met him to hand over our rent money and he ‘forgot’ to give us his account details for any future payments, he did say he would email me last night, but so far nothing.
(Dodgy Git!)
After our meal we went over to Argos to order some stuff to be delivered as we needed a vacuum cleaner and packing boxes.
Whilst we were there, I treated Candy to some My Little Pony stuff as she collects the toys and I bought myself a new mobile phone. It only cost me £9.99 and it is a small standard purple phone with text only, nothing fancy, no apps, no internet or camera. Which is how I like it.
It is smaller than a Star Trek Communicator!
I was feeling tired at this point as I had not been out in months and my back and legs stiffed up and was causing me lots of pain, so we went to Wilkensons for me to sit down and Candy did some more shopping.
At this point it had gone 4pm and I was in so much pain so instead of getting a bus home we ordered a taxi which cost us £30 but it was almost worth it as I had trouble getting my legs in and out and I hurt my left leg so much that it started to bleed, so Candy had to change my bandages.
It was not the taxi drivers fault, it was due to me having mobility issues and not being in a car for over a year.
It was both a good and bad day and I did get frustrated with myself for not being able to do lots and go to more shops but seeing that it has been the first time I’ve been out in over 7 months and not been shopping in over a year, I think I did okay.
I am going to try again next week to go back to Northallerton as I need to buy some books from Waterstones, buy lots more make-up at Boots for Candy and treat her to more clothes and check out the Blockbusters there before they close.
