    Oh no, I'm sorry to hear you are in so much pain. Have you got a heat pack or a hot water bottle you can put on your neck or shoulder?

    Great news about the debts though. Any idea how long the claim will take? You're so close to being debt free now!

    Moozie - thanks, your comment made me laugh - glad I'm not making people broody any more lol!
