I know it probably won’t give any answers but would a trip (oops no pun intended 😂🤪😏) to the fall clinic be of any use. I presuming not as you’ll have already done everything 😉January spends - £587.586

Just catching up. I hope you are ok after your fall.
I agree that the future of fuel bills is just terrifying.
Would a bag similar to this be any good? It would be fairly close to your body so hopefully stay out of the way when you are using the sticks: https://smile.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07TFCQZTX/"Good financial planning is about not spending money on things that add no value to your life in order to have more money for the things that do".

In todays news Miss S has not had the best day.
She had a funny thing under her chin this morning.
It was very difficult to see.
By the afternoon the thing had burst & it was horrid.
Ruined a cardigan mopping the gunge up.
Poor wee soul was out of sorts & upset & then went off to hide
She has now emerged & seems just a tad brighter.
Will see how she goes.
Maybe the vet the morra.
Still paying for the last trip

Oh poor Miss S. Could it be a bite? Fingers crossed nothing expensive 🤞The falls clinic couldn’t do anything for Mr SA either. It’s hard when it’s because of a condition and not because you’re getting older. They’re aimed at making the elderly safe really. He had the alarm a few years ago but it wasn’t worth the monthly fee because all they would do is ring me, they don’t send anyone out to help.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)6
