Apologies if my post appears to make no sense, I would have removed it but as it has now been quoted I will leave it. Some other posts have been removed by the forum team so my post makes no sense.

Yes indeed, it seems that I'm not allowed to make my valid views here. I don't think I was being controversial or inviting flames but hey ho, moderation at its best. I just won't bother in future.

Lollipopsarah - hope you recover quickly!


Disability means that I have long periods when I am housebound. I find it useful to have a variety of activities on-hand because too long at any one thing tires me.


One activity I have learned to enjoy a great deal is knitting. I taught myself last year. You don't need much to get started - one pair of needles and a ball of cheap yarn. Plus a book (from the library?) or a friend to teach you the basics. If you can master casting0n/off and simple knitting you can manage to make useful stuff! (No complicated stitches needed and not even increase/decrease!). You could knit squares for blankets - either for a local hospital (baby wards often accept blankets) or ask at charity shops - (we have a local group making blankets to send abroad) and check out the Operation Christmas Child website - they have some lovely patterns for beginners - including a sweet bag for children which again is simply cast on/off and plain knitting.....you could make a start on knitting some Christmas Presents for young family members!

It doesn't make any sense other than I missed the 'more controversial' comments :D

Thank you everyone for your great tips and support.
I went outside today and just don't get it how kids can go like the clappers and I was like an old hag hanging on for dear life to the crutches - I suppose I will suddenly get the hang of it.
My lovely supervisor did make me laugh when she told me people get time off for a headache and I did 2 days with a break before admitting defeat then said I can't come back until fit - no good dragging my foot behind me (shouting for Esmerelda!!).
