    You know. I am dim sometimes.
    I was getting worried about my feet being so sore.
    Then I thought as I have fallen 3 times this week I am not surprised.
    It is the way I have to drag my leg/foot to be able to start to get moving.
    So my feet are covered in bruises and scrapes. Duh!!!!

    I know this does not help you in any way but I keep finding bruises and scrapes on my legs that I don't know where have come from. Doesn't help that I have a recurring skin condition that only affects my legs (with the odd, but rare, arm flare up) which makes it difficult to tell which are bruises and which are related to that. What I'm trying to say is that I sympathise with you greatly.

    Mortgage at 12/07/2022 = £175,000
    Mortgage today = £161,690.76
    300 271 payments to go.
    House buyout fund £21,000/£40,000

    Sorry to hear you've had another fall Beanie :( Frustrated perfectly sums it up I would think. Even if the neighbours are old it's nice that they came out to make sure you were OK. Enjoy your coffee with your friend. xx

    As you know I am involved with the local FB.
    I also have a trustee role which seems to take up more & more time.
    If I am honest in some ways it is all becoming a bit much as we get busier & busier & there are more & more strands to our work.
