SS - (((Hugs))) one of my friends has Raynaud's, and says thick socks and sheepskin slippers/boots are great. Also Gingko Biloba, which is supposedly good for circulation, but she doesn't know if you can feed it to kids!

Now... do I need to eat before I go to bed, or is it too late? I've had porridge, bean soup and bombay mix today... must cut the bombay mix out, as I don't think it's doing me any good

Thanks again all. Rose I'll let you decide colours! Whatever you've got, and whenever you get round to it. I'm going to do what Dusty suggested too and try to find some thin silk ones for underneath her thicker ones.

The worry is whether she's got an underlying cause.....

SSsupergirl what size feet is she??

emily I am really sorry to hear of your depression but very pleased you have been to the doctor - take all the help thats offered - it doesnt need to be forever just until you get back on your feet. I hope you feel the benefit of your weekend away - enjoy it and try to relax.

polly you are never evil - just not happy at present - gentle hugs for old lady woof!

greenbee bombay mix is def not doing you any good - good job you live alone though!!! are you feeling any better yet?

I have now decluttered my quota of emails for today and now going to do my coffee and hw bottles at the same time.

toots xx

ETA funfairprincess - remember what I said about the lists - If you dont have something on the list then it gets deleted - e.g. clean out pets - well if no pets no cleaning out done - delete!
the same applies to you here - you dont have 100 things so delete! Its not that you are not doing it its that you physically dont have them so you cant! Excellent upbringing you have had - very thrifty!!! xx
