    Now another two items listed on ebay and DH has pulled out another 6 boxes of books for booting from the garage. :j :j

    Thanks DDFW, it's made a big difference to the garage, but I've replaced the box in the house with an empty one to refill as I read more :p

    My back is awful, I don't know what I've done. I don't recall having strained it or anything. Oh well, I'm walking around in a cloud of deep heat fumes. I'll be so popular in the office tomorrow :cool:

    Good advice, because it may be a symptom of something else so get yourself checked out. Back problems are so annoying, hope you feel better soon.

    I shouldn't have decided to go all strict with my diet tomorrow because my subconcious diet-wrecking self has decided to stuff itself today with all kinds of things that are strictly forbidden. :o

    However, I have decreed that Fridays are official weigh-ins from now on, so hopefully any damage I've done will be undone by then. :p

    Good work today on the decluttering, Jwil. I have spent today sitting by a blazing log fire with an eye on the TV but also working on a document that I need to deliver for tomorrow. Nice day. :)

    Thanks Guys. I've looked up back pain on the NHS Direct website before and I think it's something they would rather you self-treat unless it goes on for more than 3 weeks.

    I am wondering if I have been overcompensating due to my sore feet, and there is quite a bit of bending when I'm surveying, so wondering if it is a result of that. I've also recently changed my work chair so shall be looking to change that back too.

    I will try and look after myself, but if it does continue I will go to the GP.

    Sounds like you had a good day Peaceandfreedom, nice and relaxing but getting something done too :)

  • As you say jwil - all these are things that can contribute so hopefully you will start to feel better as you get your new chair back and the blisters go :)

    Well I was in work early this morning, so snaffled my old chair back before anyone could pinch it :D (It was only being kept as a spare anyway). It is so much comfier than the one I replaced it with (the wheel keeps falling off which is annoying, but I have now decided I can put up with annoying for increased comfort).

    I've made a small £2 pad today. Annoyingly the cheque from RM appears to be getting swallowed up by fuel needed for the extra miles while I'm surveying. The good news is I will get this back in expenses, so it's just a delayed payment and does mean I don't need to put the fuel on CC :T

    I had a letter today from a catalogue company saying I may have missed the changes to their terms and conditions sent out in 2008 :rotfl: :rotfl:

    I ordered something from there, and forgot to make the payment as it was so long since I'd used it. As I had paid up once I realised, they kindly refunded any charges I would have received, so I am pleased about that, but it still made me chuckle anway.

    I had a chuckle too at that jwil - and its definitely much better than a letter saying charges have gone on! - What a nice change :)

    And you're just £7 away from paying off £1000 already this year :T
