    Aww poor T, back pain is horrible 😢 We bought a TENS machine when DH hurt his back during Covid and we couldn't get out to see anyone. It really helped him and we've both used it since with any back/shoulder pain. It's quite addictive once you start!

    DS and family still living with us and no news on when they'll move into their new house...however, DH and I are away this weekend for a wedding so will get a bit of peace and quiet 🤣

    My usual £5 this week. I'm going to scour the streets for some roadkill and hope to be as lucky as @AntoMac 😉 Enjoy the weekend xxx

    Thanks so very much LMD, T's certainly been through it lately, but thankfully he's now over the TIA problems and feeling so much better. His back though he's been going on for years, but he's now got arthritis through his spine as well as stenosis (narrowing of the open spaces of the spine which puts pressure on the spinal chord). Plus he's got a protruding disc but no-one says anything about what to do with that. Coupled with all that, our Dr's which were 5 separate surgeries have amalgamated into 1 (ridiculous) so you never get to see a specific Dr anymore, so in short, it can be anyone from anywhere!! Ludicrous! 
    Brilliant work with the potted £25!!

    • Hi all Potters! A very good Saturday to you all. I hope you all had a brilliant week and enjoy the weekend.
    • I hope you're all well and not too low in spirits, whatever the reason. Meanwhile, however you're feeling, do get well soon. For now, love and virtual hugs from us all here at SPC ❤️

    Oh that's great to hear Siju, he's looking them up now, thanks so very much for letting me know, fingers crossed one will really help him, I dearly hope so!


    Oh poor you and your DS and family, let's hope they're soon able to move into their own house.All being well you'll get a different type of peace during this weekend!Enjoy it whatever.
    Well done with the £5 potted and all the best with some roadkill as it's not fair for our Ant to get it all! 👀

    £10 transferred to SPC.

    Enjoy a Wonderful Weekend folks.

    Hey potters, #13 I haven't really checked on this forum as this year hasn't really been a time I could do routine potting at all. I hope to start again next year but just wanted to say I won't be sending in a final total in for October as I don't have anything to show.

    Hope it has been a good and kind year to you all. Best wishes.
