I was a very independent girl friend. I bought a flat first and he moved into it. I have always out earned him. I’ve always had my own hobbies and friends. But when we got married it was really odd – all of a sudden he was being very attentive/chivalrous and ‘husbandly’ and seemed to want me to be ‘wifely’. I sorted that out PDQ and we have been happily and equitably married ever since!

My father had very clear ideas about the roles of wives and mothers and they weren’t remotely compatible with my mother’s views on that! Oops. He has remarried a woman who seems to have read and obeyed The Rules. She is subservient, deferential, highly decorative and grant his every whim. In turn he adores the ground she walks on. Works for them I guess!

There are WAY too many people who don’t get irony and black humour. If they ever read texts or overheard me and my mates at the wall we would never get employed!

@fi Oh, they “get it”. But they can’t resist the opportunity to go pointing fingers or making victim narratives out of it (I would say “virtue signal” but even that phrase appears to trigger folks now).

I have no idea whether that is the case or not, although it does sound plausible but I do think that we should be very careful about what we eat and what has happened to the food before it gets to us. I am currently struggling with meat from corn-fed animals, as I am allergic to corn and trying to work out the history of most meat is a nightmare.
I wish that organic farming was much more popular/cost effective, so that it would become more widespread.

Depends on the cause of the pain – I’d suggest seeing your GP as first point of call. I had a few years of terrible foot pain caused by a Morton Neuroma which I had surgery to remove last October – I then over did it running in December and sprained it and that just required trying to rest it as best as I could… So yeah, I’ve had two types of pain in the ball of my foot and they required different things to fix so go see your GP 😉

He doesn’t get results.

@lilly He does, though. United wouldn’t be in the Champions league if he hadn’t.

Sean Dyche is the exact opposite to the above, and more likely to replicate Fergie.

I like Dyche, like his style, like his attitude. But Fergie was a once-in-a-generation manager and no-one is ever going to get close to his record. But, should the opportunity arise, I’d like to see Dyche offered an interview for the job.

I would go to physio first, see what they say as doctor (well mine do) would only refer you to one and then investigate after

If physio wants scans etc they can write a letter to your doctor.

Just a little update- Went to see my GP, it turns out I had fractured my coccyx and as a result the area is badly inflamed- coccydynia I think it’s called.

I have been put on high strength painkillers and anti-inflams, have been referred for Physio and then will be having steroid injections into the area.
Unfortunately the pain has got worse from when I last posted, so it’s definitely not something that’s going to go away on its own. GP inferred that often once a significant amount of damage has been done, it is a life-long condition. I sill have no idea how I fractured it.

[donna @donna Participant]

I’m definitely not aware of doing anything that may have fractured it, but who knows.

Will see what my GP can come up with.

[donna @donna Participant]

I would not bother with the GP see a private Physio who does sports type work and see a podiast to get insoles made!

I love my karrimor leggings. Drawstring waist although I never bother with it as they stay up without & mobile phone pocket at the back 🙂

Returning to the same hospital should be okay but a different one won’t know their history.
If it’s right that they cost £13 each and that adds up to £80k a year I don’t blame them not taking the chance.
It would cost far more if a pair broke and granny ends up breaking a hip.
The ambulance chasers would be salivating at the thought.
