Sorry to hear about your accident Jenny.Hope it isnot causing too much inconvenienvce. I am lucky (touch wood) never to have broken any limbs but I have exprienced a couple of nasty falls and now watch every step I take concentrating especially on the steps in my yard. I do not suggest that you were careless I am sure you were not. This happens even to people who have good eyesight especially when there is Ice around.

I am hoping that this is a straight forward break so it is only time needed. carol, I was going into the pub on the road,alas can't sue anybody. Cathy, it was steak night, knowing how long I would be in a& e had my steak with large glass of red wine, 4 hours later I was very glad I had. missed the quiz though. more tomorrow love jenny c
