    Fuddle - dinna fash yersel! That's why we are all on this thread - to give support when needed and to get support when needed.
    Must admit I'm a !ittle bit concerned as I'm now due to have an angiogram. Not worried about the procedure but what may the outcome. All my family - aunt, uncle, parents and grandparents have had heart & circulatory problems. I'm pretty active ( much more than any of them at the same age) and like you Monna - eat sensibly but not obsessively. Hey ho - there's folk much worse off than me so I'll woman up!

    Hey FUDS have a hug or twenty, life has been less than generous with you for quite a while now, it's not so easy to be scared stiff and feel awful to boot so you're allowed to be tetchy if you need to! the cold and dismal weather of late doesn't help either does it? what you need is time off for good behaviour from the woes of life and some nice spring warmth to cheer you up and give you time outside on your allotment in the sunshine. We'll all be brighter in mood when the better weather comes. It doesn't change what you're dealing with love but it does always seem to make life feel better in every way when the sky is blue, the sun is warm and mother nature is giving us the first spring growth xxx.

    I have seen your garden and it took my breath away. :D Away with your sarcasm woman! ;)

    I have frog spawn in my plot pond! I don't know how as it's been frozzin' for weeks and I am worried about an Easter cold snap but I'm chuffed. I also have 1 crocus in my flower patch. :D

    Mardatha, I don't know about Fuddle, but you remain my shining example. I wake up and I think "What would Mard do?". As opposed to when I go to bed and think "What would Hester do?" :p

    Hugs Fuddle. It's hard and stressful to make changes, if it was easy everyone would do it.

    I'm picking up vanilla today, my ice cream maker (who I've not yet named) is quivering with excitement. Chilly Willy? Frozen Fred? Shivering Steve?

    Thank you Softstuff.
    True to form I caused a mini riot in the supermarket, I'll not sully the delicate ears on here with it, it's on my blog.
    Also true to form I have an ouchie, my foot was painful yesterday, my beloved offered to take my mind off the pain, he was successful to a degree until I decided to change position and wrench a ligament in my ankle!
    Chin up, Titus out.

    It's a good job I went to yoga tonight and tightened up my base chakra otherwise I'd have needed a tena lady from laughing softstuff.
    Hester I'm assuming CHS offered the usual cure - mine told me it would cure a hangnail once ;)

    I should think so too, I would as well, even if I wasn't me.
