There are still plenty of logs left to load onto the trailer, after cutting down five 40 feet high Monterrey Cyprus trees, so if you want to come and help me Ian, with my 'non proper' job you're very welcome, as long as you are good at lifting heavy logs onto trailers :-o Plus, I could do with a hand (or arm really) to load the contents of the house into boxes ready for the painter. My husband has gone off ploughing again today, on contract work.

As a matter of fact, it's the first time I've felt pleased I'm not going ski-ing, because I don't think I'd be able to ski with my arm like this. It would have completely wrecked my holiday. I wonder what happened about Dids' daughter and her wrist, and whether they went on their ski holiday or not. I hope she was O.K. and they did go and they're having a great time.

What !!! I'd attempt a run with two broken legs and whip lash, pleased you're not going skiing, I just can't believe it :cry:

What are the policies of the candidates?
What will this club do for this cranky soul?
Will there be drinking or should I say toasting?

I ordered a pair of skis from Scansports,(or should I say ScamSports) after 10 days of trying to contact them, 01260 253667, I am now going to contact my credit card company to get a refund.
Ther is absolutley no way of contacting them and getting a response. Dozens of eamils and even more attempts at telephone calls get you knowehere.

Pass the word around, keep clear of Scan Sports and Baker Makintosh Ltd companies.

Welcome to the forum, these people are well known here as it has been talked about a lot, I don't know if it is worth giving the local trading standards an email as these people should not be getting away with this, as least you paid on credit card so you can get your money back, :wink:

AllyG wrote:Thanks Rose,
I have bought a sling today and put my arm in it to try and stop me from using it, but I'm also lifting it with my other arm to stretch it (I had a 'frozen' shoulder before, after I broke my other shoulder). And I've got voltarol and one of those re-freezable ice bandages.

120 seed potatoes is an awful lot. You must have quite a large allotment. We used to grow our own vegetables here in our garden, but we got too lazy. I like growing flowers more. We have a huge garden, must be nearly an acre.

I hope your back recovers in the jacuzzi, and all goes well tomorrow when you're back at work. Have the spots all gone?

Pull yourself together Ally, it's not as though you do a proper job :lol: :lol:

I propose Wickers. Any seconders??

I suppose I'm not allowed to second myself am I ???? :shock:

AllyG wrote:Rose,
I am panicking because I've only got a couple of weeks left to get our second holiday cottage ready for the season and we have masses left to do, and I've damaged the muscles in my left arm (hopefully temporarily) and I can't use it now, and I have to pack up all the stuff in the kitchen etc. for the painter, with only one arm, and take stuff to the tipp etc.etc..

And I am going to be a godmother on Sunday and I've never done it before, and I will have to dress up smart and say my lines right in church, and I don't suppose I'll be able to lift the baby now with a bad arm.

Ally

You'll be Ok you could talk for England :wink:
