being someone who lost a lot of hair and now has lots again I want to tell you that it will grow back,but only when you fix the underlying reason it is thinning. Perhaps now is the time to register with a GP and seek advice.

It's an age thing.

Today the dentist told me, mid root canal work, that my tooth had some movement, possibly due to bone loss, another age thing.

Not necessarily. Mine was due to jaundice.

Random exercise for NP.

Lay down on the floor on your back.
Raise yor right arm and move it back over your head as far as it will go.
Do the same with your left arm. Both arms should be fully extended and at full stretch.
Your arms should be equal and you should not be in any pain.
Put your hands together and place them on the top of your head in the middle.



I can do this too. Today I got 100% range for this movement in my left arm. Functionally this means I have the range to wash my hair using both hands. Go me.

I fail....right arm will go about 3 quarters up, left arm about a quarter at most without pain, right shoulder dislocates though to achieve the 3 quarter, left shoulder pain stops it at the quarter and then dislocates.

To wash my hair, I do a weird bend my head down with bent elbows thing so that my arms don't have to go so high up.

But excellent news Spirit, you have come such a long way xx

Apart from my fears/foibles.... I don't like cooking. It's a necessary evil. That doesn't mean I can't, I just don't like it. Especially as I don't heat the kitchen. No point heating a room I'm hardly in.

I just don't like all that thinking about it, having all the right things in, to then stand and chop/prepare/cook stuff, and stand over it, watching/occasionally turning/poking/testing etc ... until it's ready....

Then having to serve it up and it's gone in 2 minutes flat ... and when you return to the kitchen with your plate there's all manner of stuff that needs washing up!

An utterly unrewarding - and isolatory - experience.

I don't find it isolatory, but I used to look at Mr Bugs and all the faff of creating a lovely meal ( he was a very good cook ) and then I'd chow it down in 5 minutes and think why would anyone go to that much effort?

He used to try and tell me that if you enjoy eating , you enjoy cooking. I used to reply that I enjoy driving, but I didn't want to build a car.;)

Completely the opposite here PN.

I don't want to see appliances if I can help it. Clean, clutter free , stark, sterile ... people will see kitchens in different ways.

There's no built in micro, but everything else is hidden away. You'd like my bathroom kabayiri, there's a mirror and a pewter soap dispenser on display, everything else is put away. Blissful.

we arechoosing wallpaper for our bedroom. swatches arrived today.Sittingroom overdue refurbishment, but I hate shopping and trying to create a "look". Currently the look has taken 32 years of family life and the individual efforts of 3 generations of large dogs and quite a few cats, to perfect.

We need every thing by way of soft furnishings. Rugs, curtains, sofas,cushions, A well fitted chair for me. Cant be done on the internet as need to comfort test, and paralysed by indecision when ever I enter a shop.

Is it worth getting someone in to do the thinking bit for you? personally I like putting things together, but then again I'm sad enough to keep folders of rooms I see in magazines, so when it comes to decorating, it's percolated in the back of my head and I've got a broad idea. The other thing is find one thing and just build from that. The kitchen was wallpaper



Only two thirds of one wall, but you get why the rest of it is white:rotfl:

I'll decline the first offer... I'm not one for gratuitous discomfort and exercise

I'm sure I'm losing a lot of hair. The other day I pulled at the hair in the bath plughole, like I've done for years .... only to discover not a small collection of hairs, but what looked like a clump. Loads of it there was....

I'm going bald!!

Not sure how old you are, but maybe hormones? Tricky little divils they are.

Council have admitted (in writing) that they messed up.

[EDITED]

I was expecting that to be a major struggle, but (mainly thanks to my HA rep friend) we got it sorted painlessly.

Good to hear CK

Talking of eating, this week I have eaten a whole bottle of Jalapeños on my own. Should I get a pregnancy test?

No, get a sombrero and learn to love your inner Mexican.:D

ucking bother.

Haha!! I don't even know where that came from!

I don't think I'd even read that post until this morning?!

That's lovely wallpaper, bugslet, what is it?

Spirit, why don't you aim for finding the right chair for you and then allow someone else to design the rest around that and anything else that wants to stay in the room?

Less overwhelming and probably better than one can do alone.

You can pay Next £50 for a in-home consulation or go for a proper interior designer for higher cost but more variety.
