Nonna, hope you get your wrist pain sorted soon. Here our prescription service works really well. Both of us are on repeat prescriptions and all we need to do is phone the pharmacy (which we nominated to link with the doctor’s surgery) and the medications are ready to collect within 48 hours, but normally will be ready within 24 hours. We can only order repeat prescriptions every 2 months. For one-off prescriptions we need to go to the surgery to collect then go to the pharmacy to pick up the drugs. in other news, I mentioned the other week that I’d got nowhere with the GP w

A bit specialist, but interesting information about Gedling House. https://zeffertt.uk/index.php/gedling-house?fbclid=IwAR29Dy0i877jpsw80pePRYZO_dCi1-A_gcEAvEFIHwvPJOGVtKfPQRLUqew Don't click on 'Next' at the bottom of each page, it doesn't work. Instead click on the name of the next section.

There were lots of people being treated for CTS when I was at the Pulvertoft Hand Centre at the Derby Royal having my finger seen to. I think it’s a very simple and effective procedure. The hand centre itself is an enormous setup dedicated predominantly to hands and wrists. I was treated by a Dutch doctor who was on secondment. He took a skin graft from my arm to effect the repair. They did make me a prosthesis to stick onto the half finger but the novelty of pulling it off to frighten children soon wore off!

Still experimenting, I love this photo, taken through our patio window and the wren was about 10ft from where I sat. Here Goes?

I set up a group on Facebook to gather information about Nottingham (Scene Before In Nottingham), of the past and present, and I've looked at Nottstalgia to an extent to gather more. I have now put some of that information into a website of the same name. I have taken pictures to show the sites of many of those remembered, or not, establishments. It currently contains data about - clubs & venues (and bands/acts who played at some of them), shops, restaurants, coffee bars, some of the people who were around, certain events that happened. This is a work-in-progress, but I hope peop

No way do I feel old and vulnerable, even though the powers that be keep trying to persuade me I am in THAT age group. Just let me be, I’ll be careful and wear a mask when necessary but I refuse to be fearful. I’m more concerned for my family ...... my grandchildren having their education disrupted this year ...... my sons who are trying their best to keep 100+ employed worldwide with severe restrictions on air travel. This virus hasn’t affected us two a great deal, we don’t need to go out to work, so long as we can stock-pile enough toilet rolls we’ll be ok.

Yes we are the mature (old) and vulnerable but just read all the post and for give me, but lets go back. Quote a song? those were the days, I loved New Year Eve, getting too many down you, dancing on the pub tables before being told off by somebody, wakeing up next day HUU! what did I do last night, (dementia set in) phoning famiy on the other side of the world Hi it's NYE and just gone 12 00 what time is it there, but there is one thing that I regret not doing, when living in South Afica a friend of mine came over to UK for Christmas and New Year, I ask her if she had, had a good time,

Also kneading dough for tagliatelle ill not do that again, the young assistant chef can make it for me.

I used to work in the chip shop on Summers Street, the owners' son was friendly with the lads who worked in Pete's and we all used to go to the pictures. We had a cafe part to this chippy, I used to put all my tips in the juke box. I worked there until my dad decided I was ignoring my school work so came up and dragged me home. I was mortified!!

I suppose one could develop carpal tunnel trying to break into medication packets? I'll wager that's one side effect not listed!

I don't know what it's like in the UK but, as well as encyclopedic length leaflets in the cartons they are now sealed with about half a kilometre of industrial strength Sellotape.

All the possible side effects have to be listed - even the very rare ones - so that no-one can say they weren’t informed/ warned and therefore can’t sue the provider!!

Just trying Margie's postimage method...this is one from Barnsley museums puzzles. Nottingham canal adj.to Derby road.

...... and you always open the packet at the end where the instructions are folded. If you read the possible side effects you wouldn’t take them anyway.

Nonna, I think most medication here now comes in prepackaged boxes, complete with a set of notes not far off loo roll length, folded up inside. Brown bottles are still around but it's mainly plastic!! blister packs. I only take thyroxine but it seems that every month, it's a different manufacturer and sometimes in an enormous box, relative to the size of the pills. I suppose it depends which is cheapest at the time! Carpal tunnel is extremely painful. My 90 year old auntie has had both hands operated on and says the terrible pain is now gone. So, chin up!

Just remember though Carni,.plastic don't rot but lasts forever.

Carni, it’s wonderful that after 50 odd years you two are still soulmates and the best of friends, it’s a fab photo of two teenage ‘lovebods’ at Skeggy!
