    Waaaaaaaaah I'm fed up! I want to join you all as my house looks like a cesspit but my back is still hurting from Thursday :( By the evening it's not too bad so I've been trying to keep active and still take the dog out, but mornings and most afternoons are not good. At the moment I have pains shooting down my right leg :mad:

    However because I need to do something I'm going to do 2 loads of washing today and get help to hang it up to dry, crawl around the lounge clearing the floor and try to clear the kitchen sink as standing up should be alright, it's bending down and lifting which is my main problem.

    But :hello: everyone as well!
