Golly ocker, how could you let your toes get this bad before having it seen too. It has to be agonising. That is the trouble with men, keep putting off the inevitable. Hope you are taking the antibiotics and not saving them for when you are really crook. rolleyesrolleyesrolleyes

lollollollol Squirter & Ocker over your comments! Not a funny subject really, but oh you two do make me laugh.

Seriously though Ocker I do feel for you with your toe eek, such a painful thing!
But boy oh boy isn't that ALWAYS the way, you get either incapacitated in some way, OR you have either grease from fixin' somethin' on your hands....or dough or some other cooking mess all over ya' hands, or ya' just got to the top of a ladder that you rarely ever climb up & wobbly as anythin' & YES thats the very second that the phone rings! Even if it happens to have been a silent phone for days!!!lol Never mind, tell yourself it was just a tele marketer wantin' ta' do a survey, or someone wantin' to sell ya sky or a DVS or something you've either already got or don't want! mrgreenmrgreen Hope your toe is all fixed very soon though!!

Crikey,

Ole Loyal's chuckin' some stick at me and quite rightly too....absa-bloody-lutely....""such a painful thing!"" those toes....bloody ouch !!!

So Loyal I've changed me battle plan, not gunna send me false teeth down, instead I'm gunna slip down meself with me'ole Deer skinning knife after I've chucked it under the tap forta quick clean up and amputate at the shoulder level and I can guarantee ya's OKKA'S pain will be gone for all time.

God I'm considerate arent I....OKKA loves me. mrgreenmrgreenmrgreen he told me.

Cheers. biggrin

Have to go to ex- Father in Law's funeral this morning.

It would be best to be a dog in case of stress.
If you can't play with it or eat it, piss on it and walk away......

But I'm not a dog, so of I go.......cry

Don't go and see if he cares I bet he doesn't. It's too cold anyway. I'm staying beside my pellet fire and if any one wants to shop it ain't gonna be me he says as the lady of the house gives him the shopping list and waves him goodbye.
