Valli - yay, you go girl....as you know it worked for me (not quite the same but similar!) greenbee - you next *evil cackle*

Been to my meeting, ankle had a very sore half hour after I stood on it to cook the stir fry...DH was meant to do it but I cooked whilst he chopped everything. I've been to my meeting and am starting to think I won't make work tomorrow - really need to give my ankle another day's rest I think - I can't elevate it really at work! Plus someone mentioned more snow and ice, hmmm.
