    Well done on the attitude Boddy! bit of PMA never goes amiss...

    It will be arthritis unfortunately but I am dosing up with ibuprofen,,,I have been 'on the clock' for this, I think, since I had rheumatoid before - luckily that burnt itself out but it's bl**dy painful is this...it comes and goes *sigh* but it's not as bad as other things. I know what my mum'll say - get some weight off- and I know she's right *sigh*
    anyway will fly/rest and not run myself ragged today...

    I hate it when bad things happen and the finger of suspicion is whizzing around...I had a near miss over dinner money £10...parents insisted it had come in, I insisted I hadn't seen it (mind you cracking jokes like 'chinese tonight' doesn't help lol) so clerk, parent and I decided to look in said child's tray. Envelope found torn open...aargh...so I shuffled though everything and flicked through the reading book and THERE IT WAS BEING USED AS A BOOKMARK. Just glad clerk was there to back me up! - mind you I had found a tenner on the corridor the year before and handed it in so my integrity was established IYSWIM

    anyway must fly..

    HHC 10.10-10.40 anyone?

  • Valli - diclofenic does help a bit along ibuprofen, get stronger ibu from doctors as well. It's sh£t athritis, the warmer weather hasn't made a blind bit of difference to me unfortunately

  • Dustykitten - any kick/smack will do! What do you mean 'do I eat many tomatoes' - maybe just me being thick.

    Am also finding it hard to deal with DH and him finding old army mates on FB as he seems very reluctant to 'share' with me. It was me who set it up FB for him in the first place so he could keep in touch better with daughter who lives far away and also to find army mates. He's having a time of it emotionally I think as he's having both good and bad memories being dragged up. I've been supportive as much as I can, I know the army familly can be more important in some ways than normal familly as you depend on them with your life, but most of them including DH have been out many years. He just doesn't seem able to share, which he does in everything else. I don't want to push as his ex was very controlling. What should I do?

    On the flying note, I am work so none!
