My head was swelling in to the back of my neck this evening and my back was giving me problems and I just thought I'd tryi and ease out my lower back on the arm of the sofa (kill or cure home osteopathy.......) it didn't do much for my lower back at all...but I ruddy well reduced the brain swelling, the full ness at the back of my head and neck is almost all gone instant ly. .....how brilliant is that!!!!!


I'm going to sack the neurologist. I could have been throwing myself at a sofa all this time......

Can you remember how to do it next time? This could be a temp cure that you could regularly use.

We are in big smoke on Friday/Saturday. We're expert advice-ing again for the FMB at big home improvement show type thing.

Gutted we are missing that show as we wanted to check out some framelless bi folds....but we are on hols. Double gutted as we could have met up and listened to your talk.

Hey PN what is your FB page called as I can like it.

Did a slightly meany thing last week and de friended someone.
Their continual posting of their wonderful life was really annoying me...and I feel shallow for saying that too....but it is soooo irritating. Especially as I know that it is far from the perfect picture she paints to all her new found FB mates.

My Fb is only family and the odd old mate, that's it plus I rarely post as have nothing worth saying Oh no, tell a lie....I posted some pics of OH and his brother with diggers doing the foundations....looking manly.

That's so sad.

What happens to facebook pages when people die...they just linger.....receiving friend requests....

Do they a message saying this person hasn't updated for 5 yrs or something?

Horrid.....

I had a friend on facebook who died a few years ago, her facebook page stays intact with a lack of posts. At the first anniversary of her death a couple of people posted "remembering you" posts. Apart from that it is frozen in time. I just checked, she no longer appears on my friends list and her relationship status has changed to "was married", so facebook must do something when notified of a death.

More recently a local headteacher died suddenly. Within days a facebook page was opened "in memory of XX". The page invited staff and pupils to post memories, these were clearly being checked out and then reposted on the facebook wall. From afar you could say the page was being used to guide people in their grief.
The same thing happened when a distant friend of DS2 died, clearly someone is professionally guiding the running of these memory pages.

One of the kinder let downs I have had....

..... because you've just bought a second mansion, to make another pile of money on.

Someone got it, it was my take on 'my whole life is wonderful' with a twist, the twist being tongue in cheek as you know my parents house is not tiny, set in large grounds (many acres) with a heated pool and of course not far from the coast where they keep their sailing boat at the local club and as PN says buying a second property over the 500k stamp duty threshold might have had some impact on my free cash balances....we go going to measure for curtains/blinds tomorrow and have a good look at whether we need to paint/re carpet at all before renting out.

Now our ordinary cheapest range bifolds probably cost as much as the room they are in so I wouldn't even want to think about what frameless ones might cos.

When I was having physio for tenson headaches caused by my neck/shoulder getting very tense the therapist said I could use a small towel pulled tightly around the bottom of the back my head and angled up past my ears for temporary releif, obviously not something LIR should do without asking first but may be why the sofa helped her this evening?

My nieces and nephews set up a Facebook page for their dog. Then the dog 'friended' me. Then the dog died. So, now, I'm friends with a dead dog.

Wonderful thing, Facebook.

We have two friends on facebook that have passed away. The nice thing is that people still talk to them; It comes up on my feed when one friend posts on another friend's wall.

It is bittersweet but I wouldn't be without it. It's carthartic.

FMB is the Federation of Master Builders. Sorry for the three letter acronym!

Is UKIP a literal party? Like a pub crawl?

Its main component is the same as of the box it's packed in. Nothing wrong with that. Helps you get milk down your neck in the AM hours!

These are digital assets which have to be sorted out. Not sure how it is now but 4 years ago it was awful. More people visit the pages in the aftermath. Then there are online tribute sites.

Mobile phone voicemails that have those you have lost were worst, the pain of calling just to hear their voice was just too tempting for some.
