Crepey coalition of chaos

[herbaceous]

Roll up hags, for all things Hotter.

Airborne, were they close friends? It sounds nasty. Could it be dh?

I must get to grips with the morning...

I have a mild hangover...
But behaved myself.

Fluffy I think you have hit on something there....feeling left out as a child and the impact later on in social circles. I think you need a new circle of friends who deserve you.... and you have us, of course.

Crem I haven't had a bad back like this for about 7 years....last time, I had to have a cocktail of valium and codydramol which knocked me out. I just can't do that at the moment.I can't really take anti inflammatory meds so I have to stick with cocodamol which is not without its side effects either. I'm using the ibuleve gel and hot water bottles but whilst walking around is bearable, sitting and lying down is terrible. (And getting in and out of the car) Any quick fix suggestions Crepes...I have work and other things on which I really don't want to cancel.

Ah MrsS we were hoping for stories of last nights shenanigans....

S&B news...I want to wear my new Pikolinos shoes today but bad back means I can't bend down to do them up...

And in fatty clinic news.... I have stayed the same :-/

Rosen - British School of Osteopathy at Borough sorted me out.

Sorry to hear about not friends, Airborne. I'm not on FB & feel little temptation to join, TBH. I also find that limiting my internet time quite drastically really helps my mental state.

No news from me - lots of walking & sea swimming & tennis watching has occupied me for the last 10 days or so & off to France in a few days.

Oh and I don't count crepeys as internet

It is very, very easy to make me feel I don't count. Today I am mostly fighting feelings of profound inadequacy.

How so MI ?

I do have a good osteopath locally but haven't been there for so many years....pain killers are kicking in now...but DD has had to put on my shoes for me. Is this not the ultimate in Crepedom?

Don't know. I think I'm probably feeling quite vulnerable because I'm writing quite hard at the moment. It puts me on the line!

The ultimate in crepeydom is being helped on and off the loo

MrsS not only am I struggling to get on and off the loo, I am struggling to actually "go" as it hurts the muscles. TMI But I haven't asked anyone to help me. Yet....

Talking of the ultimate in crepeydom, my Hotter order is on its way.

Nooooooooo

Have resisted the siren call of the Hotter sandals... but have bought some EXTREMELY Marmite / fugly pastel blue ClRks Wallabees in the Amazon "sale" for £35. Will report back...

Hmm been there a few times, and it is not pretty Mrs S.
Rosen i think hot compress followed by cold one is useful. If you can lie flat on back and do pelvic tilts. The very very slight movement can really help. cushion tender parts from floor.

Sorry so many are suffering with sore backs

I echo Crem on her back advice. You should really get someone to take a look at it. I know good chiro in Clapham, but that's not your 'hood is it? He worked a bl**dy miracle on my back. It's feeling better than it has for years.

As maintenance, would you consider Pilates?

I have got over myself re FB and this party. Until next time...

I do think it could be DH. He's so pompous and immodest about some things. My toes curl in embarrassment sometimes. He can be such a twat.

Sorry I won't be making it to Fridays MU, but a big thank you for last week. Off to Norfolk for 2 weeks.

POWER BACK ON!!!!

My Hotter order is on its way! True crepeydom awaits!!!!

I have judiciously bought a great pair of fur lined boots for the winter in Zalando sale. £185 reduced to £35. Navy, waterproof suede, fur lined bikers. What is not to like?

I would like you to model the Hotters MI. Pleeeease!

Airbourne, have a gorgeous , big sky, wide expanse time in Norfolk.

In Bank Holiday ( 12th July🍊🍊🍊🇬🇧) news I have painted a gate, and Dh has put up two trellises for me. We might get a BBQ on the go later. Its wonderfully quiet, as the roads are empty and no silage is being cut. It's the only day of genuine rural peace as the countryside is far from peaceful most days, contrary to popular belief .
( fortunately we are not near parades or 🔥)

Oooh what are your new shoes called please Crem and MI?

I had fallen into bed very grumpy and tired last night (busy few days) and then discovered this morning I had forgotten to put the bins out. So will have to spend the next week prowling the neighbourhood under cover of darkness with small bags looking for non-existent spaces in municipal bins. I used to do this regularly with my father when in his small seaside home town as a child and we would walk back all sprightly and satisfied along the front feeling the mist and wind on our faces - isn't it funny the things that remind you of people? [He was hot on waste management and would be very cheered to know I take the matter seriously .

MsMartini, I can't find the boots anywhere on The Zalando site. Maybe they are sold out. I managed to get a photo from my account page. They are jolly warm, but a teeny bit tight on my fat trotters, so thin socks only.

I am seeking interesting door furniture, (numbers and suchlike) to set off my front door. Probably brass , as the letter box is brass. Any suggestions welcome.

They are gorgeous!
