*Greyskull - it is carple tunnel - so its something to do with the blood supply and nerves - its an old lady and pregnant persons thing, prob brought on by my early memopause (due to the ovaries taken out)

It is a pain when trying to do fidley things, but never mind - onwards and upwards

Where do you get your lustre sprays from?

TMH, I have every sympathy with your carpal tunnel syndrome, as I had an acute attack recently after minor gynae op, now it's just chronic lowlevel stiffness, clumsiness. Makes me feel very old.

It worked! Lost two messages before. Off to work now.

I am a very unhappy mad. Plumber arrived with the wrong sodding part .

I have been out with DS1 and we have had a great time.

I have ordered some lego from John Lewis to be delivered to MIL for DS1 and also picked up disney party and co game and also ordered Dora for the wii. So that is all her presents for DS1. Now for DS2 I was thinking a hobby horse and a duplo wheels set. We can also give her the playmobil bin wagon for him too.
