Hello Milkey 

Many of the Private Healthcare Clinics offer this service - it's normally around £250/£300 a go. Your GP practice may well be able to advise you of a recommended provider in your area.

Best wishes - Brian.

Afternoon Shimmer 

Another 5 star  post there. Whilst laughing at it, OH looked, I said Shims, he nodded sagely and turned back to Tipping Point.

Brilliant! I've also got a perm horror tale but it'll wait for night owl time, then the long sufferers here will be spared and can scroll on by.

Well, inspired by Gunner, I looked for the new flavour Magnums in Tesco's but no, so I got the Utopia double cherry ones, to be sampled later 

Wishing everyone as good a day as it gets xxx

Ooh meant to say there must be folks in the forum with insight into chemo hair colouring. 

I know you can get much gentler ones than the original ammonia efforts and they do say a change is as good s rest.

Cheers 

Afternoon Gill. I was also laughing at Shimmer's hair post. She has a way with words. So, with eyes already streaming from hay fever then added laughter I can hardly see through the tears. Prior to that there was your lime green scare. I think Sbird Helen is wise to go natural. My hair was light brown until my 40s, then began  to get whitish streaks. Now, after a hair wash, it looks very light but not grey. I still have a good head of hair except for the helicopter landing patch which is developing up top somewhere.

The Fedex induced grumpiness of a couple of days ago has now eased. Yesterday a tracking message said 'before 8pm.' That set me off again but at 10-30am there was a knock on the door. I'd not heard the van. Desperate not to miss the 'must be signed for' delivery, I carried my bag, gathered my external pipework and rushed for the door at 0.5mph, my two sticks nowhere near a blur. The man with the box was absolutely charming. He placed the quite heavy box inside, clear of the door, did not flinch at the pipework, I signed in what looked like Mandarin on the digital squiggle box and off he went. I'm now not so anti-Fedex. My son arrived a bit later to pick up his purchase. I had a celebratory McD's which was actually quite hot for a change.

Today has been ok so far except that Starbucks drive thru was closed, forcing me to boil a kettle back home. I'll take a nap a bit later to recover from the exertion. 

I hope you are all having a reasonable day.  Ray xxx

Glad it went ok for you Dingg. x

After my blood test this morning I nipped through to the offices to say hello to some of the girls I used to work with. One of them commented on my hair colour and said she liked it as it is.

Afternoon Ray

After reading your post you've just added more glitter to the day, as I was in a good mood anyway but between yourself and Shimmer I've had a right good laugh, too. That's always welcome.

It's also good that you're no longer fed up with FedEx and the delivery guy sounded top notch. Well done that man. Please call again.

Back on the topic of hair. I was born blonde, turned a light brown around 3, grew it down to top of the thighs, had a short back and sides, on mam's orders for a holiday in Austria, grrrrr, grew back to top of thighs again then spent several years of cuts, bleaches, perms  to where it is now. A lot sparser but not really grey, a Ken Barlowesque shade of nondescript blonde with some browny tendrils around my neck. Sounds horrendous. Would you say yours is like Ken's, but with the added eagle's nest, Ray?

Well now we know where you've been for a couple of days hon, as I was starting to worry a bit, but I've transferred that to Sonia now as she's not been around since Wednesday. Hopefully she's ok.

Big hugs xxx

Hi. Can I ask why you need to self refer please? 

Does your GP or health team think physio will be beneficial?

I know previously you have mentioned a huge drop in income down to minimum benefit level.

Is money still a problem or are you getting help with your entitlements and budgeting?

I didn't get a chance to say last last time that there are a couple of charities to which public transport workers are able to apply.

Have you got someone to help you with form filling and such yet?

Do you know if your GP surgery offers Social Prescribing?

Cheers

Is there something up with the site? More than usual I mean? No notifications for hours and it seems no posts?

Cheers
