    It's not calling - it's singing.

    They're singing because they're drunk. Blind drunk.

    Poor you falling over Beanie, I hate falling especially when theres people watching!
    For the icy weather have you considered those rubber things you can put on the sole of your shoes to stop you from slipping? I have a pair which I've had years xx

    The Thursday class is a new class this week.
    Was going on a Monday too so now two classes at the same gym as it is surprisingly popular.

    Well. yesterday was one of the worst days I have had in a very long time.
    I fell twice yesterday.
    Both times at a set of traffic lights crossing the road.
    You could not make it up.
    Once crossing one way & then again when I crossed back.
    People were very kind apart from an ejjit who drove round me when I was trying to get up from the road.
    I am stiff, sore, bruised and scraped.
    I have lost a huge amount of confidence.
    My balace is truely dire.
    I gave even myself a fright & that is saying something.
    I truely dislike my life sometimes.
    I really do :(:(:(

    Oh no poor you :(. Was it ice again? What a rude car driving around you :mad:.

    Do you use a stick to help with your balance? What about those rubber things for your shoes that MTG suggested? My mum has trouble with her balance and the doctor suggested a balance class to her, have you ever been to anything like that?

    I hope you feel better soon. You'd better wear a sumo suit when you go out and then you'll bounce back up again :rotfl:.

    Keep plodding beanie :).
