update

Almost feeling human again this week. Yesterday I was even able to walk to our closest decent cafe and back (20 minutes there, more back as it's up hill all the way), which I haven't been able to do since I got hit by all those viruses, so I think I'm back to normal. Annoyingly slow recovery, but quicker than it has been in the past.

We have ordered a new mattress. We ended up going with Benson's because a) it's close to home; and b) you can test drive the beds in the shop. It won't be delivered as soon as I'd like, but it would be stupid to buy a mattress that neither of us likes as much for the sake of quicker delivery. Just when I'd got my finances in order, but it could be worse - I could have got crippled with back pain when I still owed the credit card £800, and I've done all my Christmas shopping.

Back pain is much better, but I am running low on magic over-the-counter Canadian muscle relaxants, so I need to schedule a trip to my doctor to see if they are at least available on prescription over here.

The Christmas card production line started today - if any of you in Canada/US/Australia would like a card, send me your address by the end of the week!

It was also Bibliogoths today. We seem to have finally found a lovely pub in which to have our meetings - it's the only medieval building standing amongst a lot of concrete monstrosities as the bombs in WWII must have missed that bit. Food selection is limited but cheap and excellent. Drinks selection is not limited - and next time it won't be my turn to drive!

Ikea mattresses only seem to fit Ikea beds, as the dimensions are strange. So you made the right choice.

It was great to see you out and about!

It's good to know you're feeling a little better. I was thinking about you over the weekend and wondering how you were.

Some sort of muscle relaxant/ anti-spasmodic should be available; my MIL is on anti-spasmodics to control her bad leg.

What are the muscle relaxants you use? My back is full of sore knots and my muscles are always tense so I'm debating asking the doctor for some to see if I can get rid of the aches and pains!

I have a Christmas card making set for you, papers and suchlike - Papercraft Inspirations was having a clear out. Only I've lost your address! Could you email it to me? I was sure I saw it on Facebook but can't find it there either. Doh!
