Happy to be knocked off my perch by you Ellie!
Do hope your pain eases soon.
Like others, I don't feel my age in my head but this morning having cleaned the bathroom, changed the bed, done the weekly shop and half an hours ironing I know for sure I am getting on a bit..
I do feel grateful though to be reasonably fit and if the hot flushes during the day and sweats at night would disappear life would be even better. They are less frequent though so maybe one day!!..
Til then-onwards and upwards.
