    Sorry to hear you fell Beanie. Is this part of a health condition? Or can you associate with anything. I guess you can't stop living and well done for just getting on with it.

    Hope you aren't hurt to badly. Keep plodding as Hairy says.

    Oh no to the falls :( Can't believe someone drove round you!!!!!! Disgusting :(

    Big hugs xx

    In an effort to make you smile - the world isn't full of a$$holes, they are strategically placed so you bump into one every day (someone from work shared this on FB the other day and it's tickled me ever since). I'm easily amused though :)
