Awake and up all night

Is there a version of the dance suitable for old blokes who use two sticks or a mobility scooter?  

Hi Julie  

I've just explained to Ray about the delays I've experienced, so, restless legs.

They started during my first pregnancy, 46 years ago, and have been off and on ever since but particularly when it's hot. I've found laying on the sofa and putting my legs on the back of it helps. So does going to sleep but I'm not right good at that. Walking around for a bit sometimes helps but iron deficiency is apparently a cause. I take iron tablets daily so maybe it's all in my head and thinking about it sets them off.

It's unlikely it's down to your meds if you've had it for several years, but you could mention it to your docs if it's causing you a lot of annoyance. 

Funnily enough, Ray and me had a conversation about RLS around a year ago when another poster brought it up. Hope you manage to find a solution to stop yours taking on a life of their own, sweetheart xxx

Ray, now you've mentioned it they were in a green and white box but I can't remember what they were called. The yellow box was for his latest infection.

He's had so many we'll soon be clocking up all the colours of the flipping rainbow  xxx

Evening Shimmer  

I've been trying to catch up with late arrival posts but all ok here, thanks hon.

I really enjoy your Tales of Stressy and Co. but they always remind me of when Julie asked if Stressy was your OH now.  I don't think you put her right xxx

I'm off to bed now, much earlier than usual because I must be up for tomorrow's delivery.  Good night all. xxx

Night Ray, and sleep well sweetheart xxx

Definitely, I am all for inclusivity 

Best on scooter as hands are important and we don't want you flat on your face or tush!

Cheers

Edit ok ssshhh nyt

Yeah posts are bit all over the place. 

I think I mentioned that Stressy is a pal with autism among other issues. 

I have reflected on my circle of friends previously and decided I need new recruits! Like when there was six of us present and it was me with a newly broken ankle and elbow that was the best person to walk a big dog 

I didn't find them in an urgent care waiting room and take them home, honest!

Err dare I plug blue gel again? I really am not on commission. Called things like Ice or Freeze, available in pound shop type places, white tub.

Often seems like it 'couldn't touch what ails ya' such as restless legs but it is so cheap you can slap loads on and try. I find it disrupts nerve sensations gently and effectively and I would take that, even short term just for a breath of relief.

Cheers

Do you know Shims, I looked for the blue gel the first time you plugged it and had no success.

We used to have two pound shops in our small town, both long gone which was gutting. This will sound crazy but there is a PS  a mere three miles away in another town. Since not having a car for almost three years now, we tend to just shop locally and use taxis as OH's mobility is poor. The busses aren't much cop and involve a fair bit of walking anyway.

But, and this will be a cert. I'll catch the bus to nearby town and see if their PS stocks the magic gel. It won't be a wasted trip as its also got a large Morrisons which is a lot better than our small Tesco's, so hopefully two birds with one stone.

If I can get my mitts on the gel, and it works, I'll report back to Julie. Watch this space.

Well after all the faffing with posts tonight the telly's decided to play awkward sods now and has told me there's a technical hitch. I've turned it off.

Don't you sometimes long for the olden days of candles and harpsichords and clearing off to bed at 7.30pm? I'm sure life must have been simpler without mobiles and Sky but then I wouldn't have had chocolate éclairs on tap - I've just wolfed two down and am sated.

I'll bid you goodnight sweetheart, as you need rest when you've your tribe to keep in check. Sleep well hon xxx

Morning all 

What a horrible hot & sticky night. I got up at 5am as it was cooler downstairs. 

 Gill H do you have a Boots near you? They do their own freeze gel, I've used it for my back many times. 

Happy new furniture day RayMK
