    Thanks all.
    They are grim it has to be said.
    Would not wish them on my worst enemy TBH.
    Pain is horrendous.
    Makes me feel sick:o:o

    This is supposed to be a mortgage free diary.
    Not much to say on that except nearly the end of the month.
    February is going to be squeeky.
    Then thats the loan nearly gone.

    You know for those people out there who think we are benefit scroungers I ask them to walk for a couple of days in my shoes.

    Sorry to hear it Beanie - hope things get better soon.

    Moggie clearly wants to send you best wishes too, and purrs and moggie cuddles, as she has just insisted on contributing to your message by walking all over the keyboard and is still staring at it. (I am translating, as what she typed didn't make much sense to me and I suspect it wouldn't to you either.)

  • I feel you, Beanie. I see first-hand with OH what long-term sick is like and it's heart-breaking to hear some people's attitudes to fellow human beings on benefit. It seems like it's OK to express the most hateful, intolerant, ignorant things these days. Hugs.
    Choose kind:)

    Aww Beanie, why would anybody think you were a benefit scrounger. Hubby suffered a really bad back injury several years ago. We don't discuss it too much but it changed him as a person. Unless you've seen the effects of somebody who was fit as a butcher's dog end up in a wheelchair/shuffling around like an old person nobody should really comment. :(

    I hope your spasms ease off soon. Have you something to take for when that happens?

    You've got a mortgage and are trying to pay it off sooner than it should be so in my view, you're in the right place :D x
