    Oh dear, in doing a good thing and proving your abilities you have caused yourself harm. Blasted arthritis, it's a beggur isn't it? Rest as much as you can today, valval, if your weather is like mine today that won't be helping matters either. We cannot allow this dross to dictate too much to us - to quote a certain Churchill 'We will never surrender.' And we won't. Look after yourself today, yes? DD

    Hi Val,

    Sorry your feeling so much pain flower and well I max out on pain relief now a days.

    I wonder if it might be better for you to take yours needed or not as it can have some residue effect though not exactly accumulator.

    Hey big words before noon :shock:

    I really hope you get a bit of relief from the pain, stererums especially hurt so much and well leaving you a ((((( )))))) and a better weather draft... i have been trying them but well you can't do your own and have only seen the sun 2x in almost 3 months :lol: Hopefully it will work better for you :wink:

    Be kind to your elf but also well done for doing it. Cris xx

    Val you make me laugh- you are so like my mum. She never let pain stop her either and fixed everything.
    I don't think you will change as it is who you are but you do need to be careful Val as suffering after the event is no fun.

    Take care
