Generally Snags, the bone is stronger after a break-or so I was always lead to believe?

The bone is usually slightly stronger just after a break. The muscles inside the pot tend to be a bit weaker, depending on how long the pot has been on. Obviously they're not used, so they atrophy.

Couple of weeks crawling about will sort that.

Thanks for the info - I will just try to get her moving around on it as soon as possible then.

Hope everyone is okay this morning?

I've booked the tickets for Flamingoland - £22.50 for all of us. :T It's not until July, but I think it will be a good day out.

We have a new plan....heeheehee......oooh, it seems so naughty!! I think we are going to extend our house instead of moving. We considered it before, but discounted it as too expensive, but we have been looking at some figures and I think we could manage.

We are a bit worried it will be complicated and expensive, but I've just posted on the 'in my home' board asking for someone to point me in the right direction (don't even know where to start!).

If anyone has had an extension built and has any advice, I would really appreciate it! The thread is here, if you want a look, but if you would prefer to reply on my thread here, I don't mind.

Hi Mrs S, Broken Bones??? What have I missed? My little fella picked up some hair straighteners (needless to say they are not mone) whilst they was still plugged in on Sat morning and he had to go to hospital but hes fine now.

Eeek Lenny, that sounds painful, poor lad.

Natasha and Ryan had a bit of a mis-hap just over 3 weeks ago, and she ended up with a fractured leg, so she's got a pot on it from hip to toe. But it's coming off on Wednesday, thank goodness.

Why is it called a pot?
We call them casts in Canada but I always thought they were called plasters here? Stop messing with my head Snags, I'm finally getting to grips after 12 years of the lingo (or so I thought?)

They're called casts here too hun, I think 'pot' is just a slang word for them.

There called plasters here, because they used to be made with Plaster of Paris. They're also called casts presumably from "casting in stone".
Potting is the act of putting something in a protective cast.

All the same thing...

I have never heard them called 'pot' before I read about natasha's accident, strange. They have always been known as plaster casts to me not even just casts :rolleyes: Anyways glad to see its coming off soon, well done ryan and have a great time with ryan at the space center and as a family at flamingoland :j
