OH just wondered if it would be stupid to go into a&e with pulled muscle in back? also it's really bad now.....and my gp is rubbish

No. It would not be stupid.
But if you have an out of hurs gp walk in that might be a lot quicker.

I have said before i am a big fan of prescription muscle relaxants once muscles start spasms. The more one resists the worst it gets, so take a drug that helps as soon as possible imo.

Two reasons why not:
1) There are plenty of things in there that we do actually want and would use if we knew where they were. When we do manage to look through a box there are delighted cries of "I've found the X" (from all of us).
2) DS and DD are hyper-sensitive to loss (for obvious reasons) and don't deal well with getting rid of things. Gradually is better for them. Much of the stuff that's still in boxes is stuff from LNE's house, so it has lots of emotional importance for them.

Maybe I my post wasn't best worded. Blitz it just means to deal with it/ work through it, and not to just bin it.

Brilliant! Thanks Pastures! Now how does current Mark Spitz look younger than me? He was winning medals when I was in junior school!

ETA: have just seen some other pictures of him. Looks like he has found a time machine...

ETA again... Oooh Harlem Globetrotters, also while at same junior school, we were taken to see them at what I think was Wembley. I got to see Curly! They were still the real team!

Fav things from 1972...

Marc Bolan, Led Zep and Jimi Hendrix.

I say from as I was too young to actually remember much if anything from then :A

Our out of hours GP service does telephone assessment first - if yours does this it might be worth calling for reassurance?

Definitely would not have been well enough for work today (unless it had been really big deal) nothing serious just temperature and achy all over but the question is why does it have to happen at the weekend?

My memory is really dodgy atm. I found that glass i rememembered breaking but forgot where a few weeks ago, but again, dorgot where when i went to get the dustpan. Then this afternoon i told dh i had definetly turned hot water on. I have not. Cold washes tonight. . Our car had the clutch replaced earlier this month and it seems to have gone again. That kind of worry is something we do not need, and the car cost too much to only last a year, plus the cost of one new clutch......

I remember my last day at junior school -there was a small recreation ground (swings, slide, roundabout, climbing frame) adjacent to the school .... and when we finished school on the last day of summer term we went there and were on teh swings singing Alice Cooper's "School's Out".

Because you relax, so things you have been fighting off with something like adrenaline hit hard with relaxation.


One of my mother's theories in life is that i got ill only after meeting dh because irlaxed haing felt truely safe and relaxed for the first time ever in a relationship and life, and so no longer burning self out and relaxed, and then....whoosh. Its an interesting theory

Car fixes are way too expensive, with dealers charging about £100/hour + VAT for labour. That's £120/hour. That's 20 hours of minimum wage to buy one hour of mechanic time.... outrageous. The "little man" I can use round these parts charges £35/hour, still a lot, but when all a mechanic (well, they're fitters these days) spends most of the time stripping the car down and rebuilding it, it seems a waste.... I'd be prepared to do that part of the labour, leaving them to just fit the part properly ... but life doesn't work like that.

Because the body wills us to go on and on and on until such time as we can stop. Which, for the unlucky working bugg4h (not that you work too often mind you) ... means always the weekend or time you booked off.

It's the curse of the working classes.
