    Good morning Amberpearl/everybody.

    I'm sorry for your struggles Amberpearl especially with pain (and interrupted sleep). I can relate so well!

    IF you (or anyone) needs help with arthritis, I cannot recommend highly enough Versus Arthritis charity. Their number is 0800 5200 520 open 0900 to 1800hrs Mon to Fri. Their helpline closes at midday on the last Friday of the month. They can advise prior to diagnosis too.

    They have (a limited) number of licences to distribute their online course, 'Pathways through Arthritis'. I found their meditations unexpectedly, and hugely straightforward and helpful for managing pain and have unlimited access once the course is completed. They also have You Tube videos for exercises although I've not seen them.

    We have to find ways to manage the difficult aspects of arthritis, whatever form it takes, as it's progressive. For me, managing pain was the starting point as it can negatively affect so much else in our daily life.

    Please feel free to DM me Amberpearl but I'm sure/hopeful that you'll get much-deserved support here too 🫂 xx.

    Ive sent a message too everyone on this feed but has disappeared? Im not sure if i triggered a word? I don't think i did. I just wanted to thank @Santosha12 for putting up the Arthritis number, ive never thought of that, but i think its going to be a good number to have.

    @Amberpearl I hope your bad knee starts feeling better soon.

    @Catherine21 Elvis is a pugshui, best dog ever apart from he is very greedy and barks loudly. Im glad you have pixi for some comfort, im an animal lover too, pets give you unconditional love.

    Hi all! I hope you're all doing ok?

    @Elvisdog your dog is absolutely adorable! 😍 I too am an animal lover. I would love to have a pet.

    I'm really sorry you had a bad night @Schildpad. Hopefully you can rest a bit when you get back and that by being out today, it helps you settle easier later.

    @Catherine21 love the memorial for Fifi. What a lovely touch ❤️

    That's coming along really nicely @Catherine21. I can imagine creating this is helpful to keep you busy whilst remembering Fifi at the same time. I like that you have some lights in there too so you'll be able to see the memorial in the evening whilst sat in the garden. 💛

    Oh you're welcome, they were instrumental in me being able to get diagnosed and so knowledgeable.

    Your dog is lovely 😍. One of mine, the oldest shih tzu has quite a bark! I don't think anyone would even try and break in once all 4 start in unison!!

    I had such boring day home alone but I enjoyed the soaps this evening.

    @Santosha12 same here lol, he has the over bite and barks loud enough for people to believe ive got a guard dog from his shitzu genes and his greedy genes from his pug side. They are funny, he is so gentle as well.

    @Holly_Scope thank you. I won't ever replace him, he is irreplaceable, bless him.

    @Catherine21 that's lovely, it looks a nice sunny place to lay her to rest, somewhere for you to watch over her, on sunny days, it will be full of flowers next year.

    Morning all.

    I got message from d.w.p saying my p.i.p review is complete and I will receive the letter in two weeks and only contact them if my circumstances change.

    I must have had a paper based assessment.
