Tennis and tiaras *Possible SU Trigger*

[Paula]

I don’t know why I panicked except I’ve been dealing with DVLA this week as they still haven’t made a decision whether my problem with my hand will stop me driving - I first informed them last October! As to cold water on my foot, I have allodynia (Allodynia can lead to the triggering of a pain response from stimuli which do not normally provoke pain. Temperature or physical stimuli can provoke allodynia, which may feel like a burning sensation) so cold or hot are not pleasant

[Suzi]

I will never understand why the DVLA take so long to do anything and everything!

Are you pacing this weekend?

[Paula]

I hope to, and I plan to do some cross stitch, dependent on how my hand is.

Oh no!! it must be unbearable where you are! It's no joke love when you don't get decent sleep. Why were you stressing about your driving? Were you getting pressure from other motorists? Some of them can be real pigs! Have you a fan in the bedroom that you can keep on all night? Try and elevate your feet or treat them to a bowl of cold water.

Paula has a full length poster of me (obtained by winning the last quiz) blu-tacked on to her bedroom wall and I'm her number one fan (see what I did there, thank me later )

I’m really not coping with the heat today. I was awake before 6am and haven’t really improved since then. I tried to write something earlier but couldn’t focus and, after 3 hours, I’d managed one paragraph! Then I took Si and my ex husband to the train station, on the way back I had a mini panic attack because I was stressing out about my driving.

Let’s hope tomorrow’s better

Panic attacks are awful try not to let it prey on your mind, hopefully it may be a bit cooler today *fingers crossed*

[Flo]

Have a quiet day then and do some cross stitching!

[Paula]

Decision made. We’re not moving house! We did the numbers and we’d end up doubling our mortgage and we just don’t want to do that - we’re not getting any younger and Si quite fancies retiring some day

[OldMike]

I can recommend retirement

[Suzi]

Sounds sensible! (Do you get to spend the difference on sparkles and dresses and shoes and stuff?)

[Angie]

It does sound sensible to me

That’s a hell of a lot of sparkles and dresses and shoes and stuff. This’ll be fun
