    SA you should have seen it yesterday. I sat with it elevated with ice on all afternoon.
    Ww my dh says I have Fred Flintsones feet 😂😂😂😂 but the little toe on my left foot  sits on top of the others these days - no idea why I’ve never been able to wear pointed shoes. I’m presuming there’s some name for it 😂😂😂😂 The little toe on my right foot dislocates every chance it gets and I have to push it back in place. 😂😂😂 hope they don’t put anyone off their tea 😂😂😂

    I know Badmemory - chemist told me to ring out of hours if it doesn’t go down and I can’t get an appointment……surely that costs more too 🤔

    It must - but probably not their budget!

    I would definitely be going to a walk in centre with that foot.It does need looking at.

    Doctors are a pain at the moment. Mr RS is on medication for his blood pressure. He is supposed to have a check up every 6 months with the GP but for Covid reasons has not been able to have one for 18 months now. The last time he rang to get his repeat prescription they said he needed to get an appointment with the doctor or they wouldn't release his prescription. Of course he can't get an appointment. We have tried ringing but you are just on hold for hours, the online system isn't currently online, you just can't get through to them.

    Not sure what we would do if we had an urgent need to contact them. We would probably end up at the hospital instead which isn't what they are there for :(

    My foot has gone done considerably overnight. It’s still sore and itchy but looks loads better. I’m not going to the doctors unless it begins to go any worse  - in which case I’ll go to an out of hours. I’m going for blood tests next week so if there is any infection it’ll show up in those. I don’t think it’s infected as the redness has subsided
    I’m off to SW in about ten minutes. I’m not expecting a loss which I’m disappointed with but we will soon see.

    It feels loads better too. 
    Just got back from SW - I’ve lost 1 1/2 lb and I won the raffle 😄 6 eggs, mushrooms, tomatoes, asparagus, wraps and something called Eggies- a gadget where you crack your egg into a Tupperware type cup, screw a lid on and boil….mmmmm might create more washing up than it’s worth….verdict is out in that. Not a bad haul for 50 p though 👍
