    Apologies Hillbern. I don't have any gin. Don't like the stuff. I can offer you Southern Comfort of a glass of wine? :D

    Gutted to hear that you are in so much pain mr hobknob:o

    In this part of the world you can lease a machine via the Pain management clinic .....NHS hospitals......for 4 weeks. It's a brand new machine and you trial it for a month. If you see no success then you can simply hand it back in without any commitment. If it works you buy it at a special price of £32. You need to buy new pads as and when.

    I know that doesn't answer your question but I've never tried one and not able to advise.

    I hope you can find one that works for you:A


    Yes they do the same over in our neck of the woods.
    My DD had one a couple of years ago, but she didn't get on with it, at the time she was also offered acupuncture but didn't fancy the needles

    Happy birthday Bubbs & Danigrace :bdaycake:


    Very happy to get 8 packs of loo rolls. Mine will be used from 17th November as that is when I am starting to put the decs up (although I am tempted to put 1 roll in today to annoy OH.

    Also got most of my points added from last weeks swipe and win and returned a duplicate gift. Now must tidy my stash up then start the housework as house is a bit of a tip. I also have some jam to make as took all of my raspberries out of the freezer to fit the BJ in - DD's favorite ice-cream is cookie dough, got 4 tubs but she does not like this version which is not good :(

    Kettle is on first. help yourselves. :coffee::coffee::coffee::coffee::coffee::coffee:
