    Thanks, I'll see how it is tomorrow 😬 the chemist sold me prescription strength cream (at least that's what it says on the box!) but they didn't actually look at it. If it's no better by tomorrow afternoon I might get someone to just look and check. Urgh.
  • Way back in the line of thought, but am I right in thinking you work in a uni? We have secure disposal shredding bins at work for stuff with personal data on it... worth looking to take a bag in?

    Yes, and yes we do. I did consider that - I was trying to avoid using work services for personal stuff (although they get plenty of my personal stuff for work purposes of course!)

    Thanks, will investigate. It's actually woken me up with the pain this morning, and my foot is nicely swelling up 🙄 Not dramatically, but definitely redder and bigger than the other one. Will be toddling off to the pharmacy when it opens, I think. How tiresome.

    In the meantime, going to take some painkillers and try to get another hour of sleep!

    That doesn’t sound nice at all Cheery - definitely worth the visit to the pharmacy (and likely doctor/urgent care). Ladybird might be right. Hope you get it sorted and it starts to feel better.
