And on top of all that...I then come down with a viral infection at the end of last week which left me going from overheating to shivering, aching, sore throat and generally feeling like I'd rather not!! I think I'm just about shaking off the last of this now but boy....what a nasty two weeks that's been!! But hopefully that'll be illness and me parting company for a bit now because as the saying goes....things come in 3's!! Maybe the GCR took more out of me than I'd realised and left me susceptable to every bug about!!!!
Millsy - beans spilled at long last - and not a pleasant tale either! I wasn't a million miles out with my toe reference then - although it does sound as if your condition has been significantly more painful than a bruised toe nail. Sincerely hope that this is not going to be a recurring condition and that it's not too long before you're up and at 'em again!
And incidentally....
but if you do wish to spread some warmth, then I always find that chocolate helps,
There you go with your subliminal messages about "spreading warm chocolate" - or is that just me reading things that aren't really there??
