I don’t know why GPs still rely on the ‘blower’ for booking appointments. If you miss their ring back you have to start again and rejoin the queue. Why not use texts or emails like the hospital does - much more efficient. Maybe they should record a message ‘No time wasters please!’
People recommend I go to the surgery at 8am but it’s not as simple as that. By the time I’ve seen to myself and the dog it is well past that and the surgery is a good 10-15 minute drive away. And that’s supposing there is parking available.
Morning all.
Morning folks.
Now we have a week’s long worth of wet weather to contend with. Nice for dog walks, not! Neither of us are a fan of rain.
Cafe meet this morning. No other plans, just trying to keep pain free still.
We have a lot of rain too, Im already missing the Sun , Ive put my living room light on its so dark .
At least I don’t have to water the garden with tap water .but it does bring out the slugs and snails .
Morning all.
I went to A&E early yesterday morning. Didn’t have to wait long, and the female dr gave me a good examination, diagnosing muscle spasms/strain. She said she could feel rope like texture where it was tense. Said I could freely use the ibuprofen gel, said the tens machine is a good idea, gave me a box of strong co-codamols and suggested a deep tissue massage. Waiting for confirmation of an appt tomorrow afternoon.
She doesn’t think anything is broken.
I bought some fybogel sachets in Tesco afterwards, because they can bung you up.
A friend managed her own appt yesterday for a sore shoulder, and was given a physio appt for a second opinion. And there’s me having to fund that myself. Grrr.
Morning all.
At least nothing is broken.
I can’t walk at all Janet.
Hope both you ladies get back on form health wise ,I used ibuprofen gel on my foot and it worked well .
Thanks Eliza. Susie, is it your feet? Back? Combination? Get well soon.
Also having back issues from a work injury. I’m off for now. Not sure when I will go back to work.
Hi everyone! Nobody came in today? Hope everyone is alright.
Weather has been warm and humid and stormy here. But quiet otherwise as far as daily life has been. I wish I was at work but at the same time I don’t mind the time off. 
Morning Fritz. I’m still here.
Was very busy yesterday. Monthly quiz in the morning, dog walk, lunch, then out again for a 3.30 massage, followed by a small shop.
Was in bed by 9 after last dog walk.
As people have predicted my back is very sore but I will stay active today, take painkillers, keep applying the gel and some heat, maybe stretch it now and then, and potter about indoors. And do dog walks, of course. Been told it should ease by the next day (tomorrow).
Quite cold today with a little drizzle. Hmmm, we are supposed to be heading towards summer.
Morning all.
Hoping not to have rain today, like yesterday. I have just done a clothes wash and want to hang it out.
Hope it dries for you, there is a breeze here so good drying weather.
I forgot to take out food from the freezer yesterday , so it may be Boiled Eggs for dinner .
or Beans on Toast .Mince is on the thaw though .
Jazzi I’m glad to hear your back should heal soon. I am still out from my work injury and working on paperwork and stuff for that. I want to get a hot stone massage. The acupuncturist used one stone on me the other day and let me tell ya, it was divine.
Been dealing with lots of unwanted noise from the neighbor since early this morning. Trying to patiently tolerate it for the sake of peace. Although I did have to finally knock on her door at 4 am and request that they bring the noise level down so I could sleep. At least I got that.
Have a lovely day everyone.
Morning all.
Fritz, I have noisy neighbours…sandwiched between two families who seem hell bent on tipping me over the edge. One family I have as FB friends and their issue is three screaming boys, with the father yelling at them. (Listening to them right now). And their front door slamming.
And on the other side the real NfH who are in and out of their creaking front door so much I feel like saying, just get a revolving one fitted. And boy, do they slam that one! Warm months out in the garden making noise, the adults stand out the front smoking, and throwing cigarette butts onto the ground. It looks awful.
Out to the library and to withdraw cash this morning, then to the cafe in the park, for the Monday afternoon meet up.
@CheshireCat Joy, can you remember the name and user name of the lady who joined us in Manchester, please? She seemed to leave the forum not long after. There was yourself, Carol, Val, Margaret (Myrtle) and me. Thanks.
I’ll have a good think as I cannot remember her name. For some reason I keep thinking it’s Sandra but probably completely wrong. 
. It was a great day meeting you all, lovely meal. I seem to think we went around the Christmas market too. So sad to read the news about Carol, such a shock. 
.
Val wants to say Selina or Serina, or even Sienna. None of those spring to mind for me. Thanks.
It was a very enjoyable day.
Yes, still gutted over the news of Carol.
Jazzi your living situation sounds much worse than mine. I’m sorry you have to deal with that.
I have some phone calls to make today and I need a hot soak in the bathtub. Other than that, no plans.
