it is the driving that worries me - am hopeful I could do some work tomorrow - from the settee potentially if I can't drive in. Intended to do some from home this afternoon but was almost crying in pain on the bed after my bath - even after taking a second lot of ibuprofen within 2 hours of the first! It has improved a bit nowSwinstie73 wrote: »Oh, hope you are ok after your fall SH! If going to work, make sure you're okay for driving!Achieve FIRE/Mortgage Neutrality in 2030

hi csa and se - I agreed I could work from home today - got some work done.
Still in pain - in neck and shoulders now not just elbows and knee! But my knee swelling has gone down a bit and I have more freedom of movement now. Intend to go into work tomorrow.
I have been having some difficulties with something going on at work - a side benefit of me being off is that my boss has seen for themselves the problem - and is now working with me to resolve it rather than brushing it off - so hopefully that should also now improve...
Hope you are all okay...
Got a book off amazon today recommended on hypno's thread - why am I so disorganised - makes interesting reading! House currently looks like a bombsite again (apart from the beautiful decorations lol) It will be interesting to see if I manage to apply any of it!Achieve FIRE/Mortgage Neutrality in 2030

Hooray for boss seeing what's going on! Mine was a pain in the bum today. He blocked off all afternoon about a month ago saying "oh we'll go for drinks with another dept", then unblocked it and told me off because I didn't have any work booked in! I was never given the option and if I had been, going for drinks certainly wouldn't be my first choice! Grrrrr.0
