It's blowing a gale here and rain is on and off. It's a duvet day, but mum tempted me out with a promise of a bacon bun at morrisons (she knows my weak point)

Oh Shelli

Ouch, hopefully it feels better today

My knee has been playing me up for years LOL Last operation was in 2006!!! previous one was 2004. Neither op was helpful, so every so often my knee sort of gives way. I normally manage to just stagger, i look daft but stay on my feet. But on Saturday I was in the park to watch Nath play rugby for the school, when it gave way. This time I was on a wet grassy slope, so instead of stumbling and staying upright I inspected the grass with my bum!!!!!! Slid all the way to the bototom of the slope too. I did something to my foot and it was very painful to walk on. So I rested Sat pm, all day sunday and yesterday. Was actually grateful to have hurt it yesterday as it meant I didn't have to go out in the rain and collect Youngest from school. But am back on full duties now!!!

Shelli

What have you done to your knee as i seem to have missed something

Thanks for your concern, my bad knee is just a part of everyday life, been operated on twice and no better. Now gota live with it :( normally manage ok, but the combo of knee giving way, wet grass and a slope was a bad combo!!!

Julie

We're ok today..the sun is shining

Found out going home last night that the boots I use for the motorbike have worn out: hence one very wet right foot where it came through the toe of the boot.

Where the road was flooded last night with three inches or so of water, this morning there's a car nose down in the ditch where it's obviously aquaplaned and spun off the road.

hope everyone is safe and dry today and that the weather improves for you all - it's lovely here in Cardiff - hope you all have the same sunny weather

Shelli, I've told you before not to wear high heels and drink wine ! PMSL

Seriously, hope the knee is better soon mate.

shelli you must be in agony with that knee

have you got it covered with something like crepe or tubigrip,

Julie

totally forgot to ask boys about it as they came in because they was killing each other as usual, and it kinda distracted me. But presume as they haven't mentioned it before bed there was no prob, ( they'd try and use it as an excuse to get tomorrow off knowing my two LOL )

Ankle much better thanks rested most of Saturday all of Sunday and most of today. It actually my knee thats the problem( long history). It gives way sometimes, usually i just stagger, but when it went this time i was on wet grassy slope.

Hope you're all doing ok and that the water has receded. Weather's been bitterly cold here but mostly dry.

Mine got home ok & though it's still raining the water level has gone down quite a bit.

Hope everyone else is ok

Am so crossing my fingers that the children get home safely, that the bridge doesn't flood, that you're all okay.

Oh Shelli hun, hope your ankle will be okay. Have broken both of mine in the past ...... another story for another day. xxx

dreadful news - my heart goes out to anyone who gets flooded - must be ghastly

Shelli

Julie

No idea about bridge as I've not got to go out until after 6 tonight. But Twins will have probs getting home, as which ever bus they get home it has to go under that bridge!!
Hope it doesn't reach teh patio will have to m-i-l and ex m-i-l and check their gardens are ok as they're just down the road from you.
