Put away your purse & become debt-averse

Oh no Foxgloves, I hope you have a speedy recovery from your fall, it's horrible isn't it and so embarrassing at the time  but thank the gods you haven't broken anything xxx

I hope you dont feel too bad after your fall and none of your shopping was damaged.

I always get mild symptoms of shock for  a few hpours not to mention feeling really stupid. I am not the slimmest person on the planet to say the least but you can guarantee the smallest people always seem to be the ones trying to pull my to my feet despite me saying dont try to move me I will get up on my own which is much safer for them and gives me chance to find any injuries. The only problem is usually find something to lean on while I heave myself up.

I hope you're OK tomorrow @foxgloves.  I know drink wasn't involved but in my twenties I got wasted with a friend and we fell down a full flight of stairs into the gutter in Covent Garden outside the bar.  Some tramps came to help us up..I am still grateful.   Don't drink above half a glass of bubbly every 6 months now.  Quiet times on the sofa is my advice and totally agree re arnica.  Love Humdinger xx

I too fell flat on my face whilst carrying two bags of shopping - tripped on the pavement.  So embarrassing ☹️    Even worse was trying to explain my fat lip and general bashed about look to concerned friends 🙂.  I was bruised for days so I feel for you. Take care

I do hope you soon feel better Foxgloves. I know how you felt when someone was trying to help you to your feet. A few years ago, I was cycling through town & was mown down by a hit & run. I was lying in the road, my bike on top of me, with someone trying to get me up as I was blocking the very narrow road. I just needed to get up in my own time as I was in a lot of pain & was sure I'd broken some ribs. I was carted off to hospital by ambulance & after a scan discovered I had 5 broken ribs, several more cracked & a punctured lung! But still, it could have been worse. KA

Hope you are feeling better today after your fall Foxgloves. It really leaves you shaken doesn’t it. Well jealous of your ten pound haircut. After I left work I stopped going to the ludicrously expensive salon I used to go to for a cut and colour, gave up on colour completely and had a nine pound dry cut at a salon recommended by my sister. Sadly after covid the salon no longer offers dry cuts and a cut and blow dry has gradually increased from 18 to 30 pounds! It will probably rise again in the New Year.

Sorry to hear you have fallen @foxgloves I hope your bruises are few and fade quickly.

When I have fallen or had other accidents I always need time to mentally assess and rebalance before getting off the floor.

On a different note, do you @foxgloves or one of your fantastic readers know if I can make mince pies and freeze them raw so I can cook them as and when we want them? Also, can they be cooked from frozen?
