Someone Make me Laugh.

[Grauntie Mag]

Oh woe is me, I am truly undone!
After 7 weeks of antibiotics (not all in a row), I’m still coughing. The A/Bs probably would have been more use if I had had syphilis or similar as that seemed to be what they were for mainly. Lung problems were way down the list! Next, plantar Fasciitis. That is so painful, but getting better slowly with exercises. Add to that a prolapse. Now I have hurt my back, probably because I’m not walking properly.
On top of all this I allegedly ran a red light! I pleaded guilty as a not doing so would cost me more if found guilty and I can’t prove otherwise. The photos the police sent weren’t clear. I am a careful driver, I don’t even go on an amber. Because I said this in my comments I have now been summoned to appear at a court 50 miles away at 10am! I have emailed the court to ask if I can plead guilty and they disregard my comments. Also I have asked for another date and nearer court should this not be possible. (I will be away on the date given). This is going to cost me dear in money and points I fear.
So, on your prayer mats please ladies, I need a change of luck!

Grauntie, what a run of rotten luck you're having. These coughs seem never ending, and I hope it's a bit of a consolation that you're not alone in your misery. It wouldn't be a consolation to me, to be honest, but I'm rather grasping at straws because I feel for you.

Plantar Fasciitis is unbelievably painful - I live my life in expensive Asics (other brands are available!) trail shoes to keep mine at bay. The best treatment I've found is a small bottle of water, frozen, and roll your bare foot backwards and forwards over it for as long as you can.

As for the red light summons - I can only offer lots of sympathy.

I don't know if it will make you smile, but why do peanuts float in a regular Coke and sink in a Diet Coke? (I haven't tried it, but you could try tossing peanuts into other people's Coke drinks and see what happens.)

Oh my goodness what a carry on ,
But I had to laugh at the Syphilis comment 🤣🤣🤣

Everyone you talk too are having chest and cough problems, I've started to get it back and a sore throat again.

Fingers crossed you get somewhere nearer , trouble is if it's not a good picture it's your word against theirs.
You never know as it's not a clean image they might dismiss the case

Oh Grauntie, what a pickle!!!

Having a prolapse myself I sympathise with that part, and the rest of course.
I know how painful plantar fasciitis is. I had it many years ago, but once it went it has never returned.

Things can only get better xxxxxx

Dear Grauntie it never rains but it pours. So sorry to hear of your health issues and the red light business too.I’m off to my prayer mat now! Seriously though I do hope things improve for you really soon.

Oh dear Grauntie, what a rotten run of bad luck.

I don't pray,but that might change if a prayer can help.

[Grauntie Mag]

Thank you lovely ladies! I’m still waiting to hear from the powers that be re. the red light business. (That sounds as if I had been selling my favours!)
Daisy, the joke did make me laugh!
Feeling a tad more positive today, all medical issues in hand, foot and back not nearly as painful. I’m even contemplating a trip to Asda later.

Upwards and onwards Grauntie xxx

Grauntie - a trip to Asda!!!!! My goodness you certainly know how to celebrate your medical issues being less painful. Let me know if you try the peanuts in Coke experiment.

Seriously, I'm very glad you're feeling at least partly better. xxx

Grauntie, what bad luck, I hope you get off the summons with a small fine. As for your poorly foot, I suggest you try Daisy’s cure.

[Grauntie Mag]

Thanks Plant, Daisy’s tip of icing my foot definitely helps.
I have been warned that the fine will not be small as I will have court costs to pay as well as the police fine. I just hope they accept my guilty plea!

[Gemini]

This court fine business seems so unfair Grauntie

[Daisy]

Grauntie, you said the camera shots weren't very clear so it's worth arguing that angle, I should think. There are are advice sites online about unfair prosecutions for road "offences". It might be worth having a look to see if there is any information that will help you make your case.
