Take care of that ankle...rest is the best policy - damaged mine when I was 18 on the hockey pitch and it's been a source of weakness ever since (though 4 inch heels and falling down pot holes when having too much to drink one NYE didn't help matters lol).

Seriously though - SL and Watty are right.

More ankle advice - you will probably find it swells after even moderate exercise. In the office it is difficult but maybe consider taking a cushion and using it on top of a packet or two of paper on top of an upturned waste-paper-basket so you can elevate it and bring the swelling down.

As MCI says, rest is the big thing - and RICE - (Rest Ice Compression Elevation) - definitely as soon as you get home from the office, the sacrificial bag of peas wrapped in a tea-towel for twenty minutes with foot up

I also wrecked mine playing hockey twice a week for literally 20 years after tearing ligaments

Fingers crossed it is a mild sprain and nothing more serious

£10 RateSetter referral paid into savings. Now I just need to wait for the mystery referee to get in touch

Wow - today went from 'meh' to feeling like Christmas :j

The first of my jumbo sized pension contributions was paid into my account today, a jump of £900 or so since yesterday including a bit of growth.

We have gone from -£1,000 NW to + £2,000 in the space of a fortnight :dance:

I know that there will be hundreds of days that are the opposite of this over the next couple of decades, but days like today make me feel like things *will* work out eventually.

Updated my PDCA spreadsheet and it suggests that we're on schedule based on our current level of payments and a conservative growth assumption. I'm only getting started

Sounds like the pension contributions are working well for you. Playing the long game will be worth it for you, I think.

If I had a choice about where I lived when I am older, I'd like to go to the north coast of Cornwall or the south of France, buy a nice old farmhouse with about 5-6 acres. Had the same hobbies for years so would probably be doing the same things. My only extravagance would be something like a '70s AMV8.
