What is the difference between a chiropractor, osteopath and physio?
A Physio is professionally qualified , Registered by the Health Professions Council.Trained based on evidence based medicine. They are required to refer patients back to their Dr if they find something outside their scope of practice.
Chiropractors and Osteopaths are not HPC registered & tend to focus on lower back (and maybe neck). Can claim to resolve everything from babies colic to woodworm.
If there is nothing seriously wrong I would use them as I would a masseuse and goto one recommended by a trusted friend.0 -
I have always sent christmas cards with a nativity related scene and bought from a charity. Most charities had not changed the desugn for a few years and this year we did not want to send the same cards again. Instead, we are having cards printed .The picture was taken last year and is our dog in his bed cuddled up to his santa toy. An anitidote to the family/ children photograph cards that are sent. I blame Tony Blair.
We will make a donation to the charity that rehomed Ben to us.
Posh alert!
Do companies still send business cards? My company (which is now solely a BTL vehicle) has made quite a few contacts this year, so I suppose I should get busy. In it's previous existence I sent an email saying we were making a charity donation in lieu of cards, but then I was dealing with big organisations and that was the norm.
In my first year of trading, we sent boxes of biscuits to key people. I included the lady in the credit control team of our supplier and the contact phoned me in tears of joy, in the 30 years of working in credit control no one had ever sent her a present!
I also sent cards and put loads of random signatures on it, because I didn't want to let the big organisations think that the company was just me!I'm a Forum Ambassador on the housing, mortgages & student money saving boards.

It's the grass that is the only problem. I think he's spoken to her now.
I am having fake grass next time - mind you, they can get around the side without having to deal with me in the next house.

Doozergirl, what happened next?
Doozer called her at some point to say sorry, I was out. She came back and caught me, visibly in the lounge, this afternoon.
I apologised for not being in, told her about the poo and said I would get it cleaned up tomorrow and let her know when it's done.
No drama, no need for hiding, I did not break down and the world did not end.I don't want to collect the poo.
Everything that is supposed to be in heaven is already here on earth.

Who owns the dog. He who owns the dog owns the poo.
Who cried and demanded and sulked and cajoled and blackmailed .... until the dog was brought home?
THAT is who collects the poo.0 -

Worked for me.
Don't click on the 'new' video - not as good IMHO.
If you haven't got dumb bells just do the same exercise and pretend you're using them.
Takes a few days. Good luck.If I don't reply to your post,
you're probably on my ignore list.0 -
