Have you ever tried magnet therapy? I never used to think there was anything in it, I thought it was one of those things that seemed to work because people believed it was working. However, I've changed my view in the last week or so. I suffer from Arthritis and a week or so ago, I was rummaging through some junk in my bedroom. I came across a magnetic bracelet I'd had for years but never worn. I decided to try wearing it and my Arthritic knees have been much better. I wear it all the time now.Good and bad news from the Xray no damage caused from the fall however I have "significant degeneration" of my lower back caused by leading a fairly active lifestyle with big boobs and getting older
not exactly word for word what he said but close enough, there may also be a hereditary link which could have predisposed me to have back problems as I get older. I asked about arthritis (family link) and he explained that a lot of joint inflammation is "arthritis" though he doesn't want to say its arthritis at this stage but I'm to be aware that it may well develop over time. Bad news is this is degenerative and he can't give me any idea if/when it might get worse I'm to "listen to my back" for now I can treat it with over the counter anti imflams with the cocodamol when the pain is bad, if I find I am struggling to cope with the pain and stiffness, or I think my mobility is being restricted then I can go back and we'll talk physio & medication. He suggested that rather than using the walker which tends to have me leaning forwards that I instead do more abdominal and glute strengthening as that will help support my back. He was really pleased with my weight loss especially as it does appear to have helped my back a bit this week. -
I've not posted on here for a while, but just feel I need to reply to this. Please be very careful about buying a Punto. I've got a Punto, I bought it new in 2003. I only found out recently that they are well known for electrical problems. More specifically the power steering electronic gismo. I was going to have the power steering stuff replaced (at great expense), then I found my car having other little electrical quirks such as unlocking itself, the clock & other dials zeroing themselves. I've learned to live with it & my car has, this morning, passed it's MOT, but I wouldn't buy another Punto now, knowing that they are prone to these problems.Morning.
I have been chasing cars up. The local Fiat garage, which has a really excellent reputation, has an '06 Punto coming in as a part exchange in September that is in my price range. I have driven a couple as my aunt and brother both have had one at various times. They are going to keep an eye out for others for me as they do take a wide range in as part-ex but if I go with a Fiat the chances are they sold it and serviced it so know what's up to date, what might need attention etc..
Has Owl's pod arrived yet?

I've been checking the progress of my meerkat toy (yes, I know..I'm a grown woman, how sad, la la la) and after zigzagging all over Europe with PostKat, it's now in Calais. Maybe it will be with me in a week or so! Don't know what I'm going to do with it once I've got it, mind you.
I'm expecting my very first Meerkat any day now too. After travelling Europe with Postkat, he was handed over to Royal Mail in Dover last Tuesday

Good Morning
It's a bright & beautiful morning here in Leicestershire, a bit breezy but not cold.
I'm hoping to go & buy my bedding plants today for my tubs. I was going to leave it until all chance of frost was over, but I was listening to Alan Titchmarsh on Saturday on the radio & he said now is a good time to get them. He said at the moment there will be lots of choice, although it's perhaps not a good idea to plant them out just yet. His advice was to put them out in the daytime & bring them in at night for a couple of weeks to harden them off, then plant them in their containers or places in the garden. Get me, I'm going all garden expert
In other news, I planted some radish & lettuce seeds a couple of weeks ago & they are starting to sprout
I shall plant another row or two in a couple of weeks so I've got a constant supply of salady stuff. I've never grown anything like that before, I'm looking forward to some home grown salad over the summer

Morning all
Gooster Jayne - I will put in my two pennorth for what it's worth. In my opinion, it's better not to be in a relationship than in the wrong relationship. Just enjoy life and if the right man comes along, that's a bonus. If not, it's the 21st century and women can have a good life even if they are alone (provided they are surrounded by sufficient pets of course

It's a beautiful sunshiney morning here, a tad cold, but it may warm up later.
I shall be off for a swim in a bit, then walking the dogs, then my son is coming over later to get some stuff from the garden centre for me. Today will be a good day

Morning :wave:
My sympathy to those suffering with heavy bleeding. I too used to suffer as I had fibroids. I was on iron tablets for donkeys years. I had one Myomectomy (fibroid removal) so that I was able to have my son. Then the fibroids came back & I was threatened with a hysterectomy. By that time, I was a single parent (got divorced when my son was 6) and I couldn't cope with such a major operation. I'd been told that fibroids wither away after the menopause, so I thought if I could just cope until then, all would be well. As time went on, I got a cyst on my one remaining ovary (the other had already been removed) & had that removed. That, then was the end of periods for me
However, I was advised to go on HRT as I was only 45 & such an early menopause could cause Osteoporosis. So I took the medical advice & had the HRT tablets. That resulted in more heavy bleeding/flooding, so I had to go cold turkey & come off the HRT. That was the worst time of my life - ever! I'm now 63 and although I have Arthritis, I'm fairly sure I don't have Osteoporosis

I've been lurking rather than posting recently, but I have to reply to this:
its Hollys 9th gotcha day this week !
It would have been Dillon's 9th gotcha day last Wednesday (13th). I met you for the first time whilst waiting for Dasha Dog Rescue at Cheively Services. Was that when you were collecting Holly?
Dillon (God rest his soul) was my first rescue dog. There have been many more since him

How fab Yantan that a care home put so much care into ensuring your aunt was kept happ, sadly now we only seem to hear bad things of care homes.... shame really as i am sure there must be some really terrific ones.
They're definitely not all bad. The care home my mum was in was wonderful

So sorry about Max
. My thoughts and prayers are with you Merledogs Alex -
Yes, that's right, I'm still not sure exactly where the battlefield is now meant to be, but I had a very odd experience about 10 years ago when driving down the lanes in that area. I could sense people dead & dying in one of the fields, and women & chiildren going amongst the bodies, looking for their loved onesOh lucky you! One of these days I will get down to see it all myself.
I remember that they had also recently found that the battlefield wasn't where they've attributed it all these years.
. At that time, the whereabouts of the battlefield wasn't even disputed.If you do come down here, remember to let me know. You're more than welcome to call in for coffee & cake

Has anyone been following the finding of Richard III's remains? I am fascinated by it all.
Yes, me
I live only a few miles from both Bosworth Battlefield and Leicester, so it's all local news to me.
There's a display opening in Leicester on Friday showing all the stuff they've found, so I may pop along and have a look at that next week (it'll be too busy on the first few days).
