    Oh dear! That would kind of frustrate me about the flowers too! Ouch! But yes, now that you've done it, enjoy them :)



    The chairs you've been recommended are *really* interesting - I'm in desperate need of a new armchair, but I don't want a standard type, and I need support for my head and neck. These look perfect! The nursing chair is sold at John Lewis, I could go to a JL store ... I'll check whether they sell oak city lola too ...

    Blimey.
    I am dim. Really.
    Have sent flowers to myself & not my friend.
    What a blooming waste of money :mad:
    Moral of story.
    Never do anything in a diazapram fog :(:(

    Sorry but that made me snort, you deffo deserve flowers after the week you've had. If your friend would see the funny side maybe you could take a photo and email it across so they can see what they're missing :cool:

    Some good ideas for chairs there too. Glad to hear GP would do a home visit if needed again, that would save a struggle

    Got to the Dr's in one piece.
    Got a lift from a friend as cant currently drive
    Interesting chat with them on different fronts.
    Back next week for the accapuncture.
    Next time spasms are so bad they would hope to do a home visit & an injection which is fab.

    That would be brilliant Beanie :T. You shouldn't have to suffer pain like that.
