I know what you mean, Ruth – they certainly are tempting – and I have a lot of oats (bought a bag this week, thinking I had none – you've guessed it – I already had one in the cupboard!)
Isn't getting older wonderful – NOT – 
Mmmm – think you're right – a bit of cooking therapy is coming on ……..

Personal rant of the day.
Why can't the booklets they give you "about your operation" tell the truth,warts and all…. the bandage they re-dressed my toes with this morning is NOT smaller than the first bandage, as they said it would be, my toes are still the size of a large Hamster. I won't be able to wear shoes for at least 4 weeks, just open-toed sandals or, preferably, nothing as no pressure must be put on the toes, so no socks either. They said in the booklet I could bath/shower when the dressing was renewed. WRONG. Today the nurse said better to not do either, just strip wash until the healing is done ,i.e. the next 4-6 weeks, to prevent any infection…grrrrrrr…she also said to keep the feet up as much as possible for the next few weeks…now, If I had known it would take this long and be this tedious at least I would be prepared and if the healing ended up being faster and easier and the bandage even slightly smaller I would be a happy bunny. Can you hear the grinding of my teeth? The steam issuing from my ears?
I'm sure in a month when it is all healed and lovely I shall be thrilled, especially when I finally get to sink into a warm bath with a good book, but today, I am CROSS.
I have altered some old socks to be 'big toe liberation' socks whilst keeping the other toes snug and warm in a little pocket of snugness. There's a limit to how cold I want my feet to be for the whole of February/March….the nurses and podiatrists were all lovely and efficient and funny, but, JUST TELL ME HONESTLY HOW PROLONGED AND ANNOYING IT WILL BE PLEASE!!!!
ooooh, I feel strangely calm…..

Sadly, Mutters Old Chap, I'm not allowed strong drink. Lord knows I could do with one. Have one for me.

Kate, perhaps if you keep your feet/toes on the move, flexing, etc, when you are relaxing with your feet up, will be quite helpful – keeping the flow of that red stuff in our arteries/veins will help with the recovery time, I would think. 
I see my chiropodist every 6 weeks, and when I had a nail that seemed like it may become 'ingrown', she trimmed it to stop that happening – no recovery needed. At all. 
She also implied that generally, we don't look after our feet as well as we should. 
But what causes some people to suffer from this? Or from bunions – why do they happen to some and not others? Is it hereditary, or bad-fitting shoes, or the way we walk?  
Understanding your frustration, Kate, but chin up, at least you can chat with all of us

Changing the subject completely,Has anyone else noticed that since this nice and kind no contact namby pamby attitude with kids has changed most of Englands youth into Americanesque louts, emulating rappers who seem to delight in the loss of local accents and innocence.
I left school in 1988 aged 16 when the cane could still be used and policemen could give you a clip around the ear with no threat of being sued for doing so……I had a healthy respect for the law and my Teachers and this carried on when I joined the Army straight after leaving school with respect for my Officers and NCO's.
I despair now when I hear that a chld at my sons's school struck a Teacher and gets nothing but a detention and murderous little louts around the country avoid prosecution for being underage it makes my blood boil. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr…..Now for a spot of wine..

Oh yes, toe wiggling like mad since Tuesday!
I inherited my inward growing curly edged toenails from my Father ( also his webbed toes): for years I've had them taken out every six weeks, but they were getting worse and as my feet have all sorts of other painful problems, I thought that one less pain might be helpful! The podiatrist has been trying to get me to have them done for ages now.
Ingrowing toenails are either inherited or caused by ill fitting shoes or wearing heels that are too high for too long. Just as well I've always been a fan of 'sensible' shoes…
Not so cross as yesterday, resigned to putting up with it now- anyway with weather like that forecasted for tomorrow, who wants to go outside?
Strip washing is way quicker than soaking in a warm bath AND it really wakes you up in the morning.
And yes, having somewhere to let off steam and chat helps!

Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy, and taste good with ketchup.

Some years ago a posh friend took us to The River Cafe for a meal, I was v. excited about this as it was fairly new then and there had been lots of reviews saying how fab it was. I was so disappointed, all the ingredients in the meal were of wonderful quality but the whole thing was ruined by WAY too much salt- it just tasted of salt. the puddings were also way too sweet and sugary. So it isn't just your local take-away.

You expect it from supermarket ready meals, but not from an expensive take-away in a well-off village. We normally use a much cheaper takeaway in the suburbs, and they are fine. Next time I think I will drive out and fetch a curry from our fave Indian restaurant (very LOW salt, blessthem) instead of getting it delivered. Poor love eventually fell asleep on the sofa.

Damn- I suppose it is too late in the day now for you to get over here and do my washing, wash the kitchen floor,pay the bills in town, hoover, sort the paper for the paper recycling, likewise the glass recycling and start clearing and pruning in the garden Mutley?
I really should check the forum earlier in the day…..
