These came up today. I have not heard of them before but they look interesting, I have posted the link for the women's models: https://thefitville.uk/collections/women-all-shoes/products/fitville-womens-easytop-diabetic-shoesI have bought shoes and slippers from Amazon and they haven't fitted but I never seem to get around to sending them back so I end up sending them to a charity shop. I currently hav e a pair of slippers still in their box which has been sitting around waiting for me to send them somewhere for months. Hate to think how much money I have wasted this way. No excuse for it - my son is our postman and he could take them for me, but everything becomes so difficult - having to download and print a return label, pack it all up securely and hand it over - doesn't sound so much, but I don't have a printer. Neil does, but organising sending stuff to the printer isn't straightforward. Could have bought my own printer with what I have wasted but then, where would I put it?
But Amazon are very good about things being returned and provide a very useful and valuable service.
A 5.6 on that meter of deception this morning, has anybody noticed their are two, to or too ways to too or two spell morening? Edit perhaps 3, mourning?
Spellchecker just suggested "moronic" instead of morning - so maybe that's another spelling.
Hi @Annb - the link I put up was for a shoe website I saw today not Amazon. The ones that I bought are Sketchers. I buy them because the have a ‘relaxed’ fit and have a flat footbed. The website using that link does say that they do a 30 day return.Those shoes from Amazon look really interesting but I see that they have an arch support built in. I have a very low instep and have never been able to wear a shoe with an arch support. Could I ask you, @dunelm, is the arch support built up very much, or almost flat?
My parents have a number of fruit trees - apples, pears, plumbs, figs. They invite friends and neighbours round for help yourself picking days as it’s too much for them now.07.10
8.20am FBG 5.3.
Hours of exercise pulling down and then picking up cider apples. Yesterday afternoon managed to harvest three trees. Only five more to go...but René is coming today to collect the apples, so it's unlikely all will be bagged by whatever time he comes. It's a lot of work, but still better than picking up windfalls every day for months. If they are not collected we fruit flies, wasps, hornets and other flies all feeding on the rotting fruit. The occasional Red Admiral butterfly does not compensate for the rest of the pests.
In the area referred to as the garden we still have eleven cider Apple trees. One is mostly dead and marked for firewood. Of the others we leave on the ground fruit from the two at the rear fenceline and collect from the remaining eight. There are another eight trees in our field which are also left on the ground or tree to be available for wildlife or birds.
He is taking the apples to the local cider making cooperative, in the nearby village. So they will be used. Am still not sure if I get paid for them...Still it's good to be rid of them. The picking up of windfalls goes on for months and MrSlim is always reluctant to take the weekly trip to the tip. So even if no monetary reward will still make life easier for both of us.Haha for Kiki komment..
Hugs you haven't caught anything.
Hoping farmer hook, has friends who can use or sell apples for you..< pray >
Its a nice idea. But until this year nobody wanted cider apples.My parents have a number of fruit trees - apples, pears, plumbs, figs. They invite friends and neighbours round for help yourself picking days as it’s too much for them now.
Thanks @dunelm. Unfortunately, Sketchers don't suit me, so I shan't be going for those.Hi @Annb - the link I put up was for a shoe website I saw today not Amazon.

Maybe you have a neighbour with a pig or 2 they would lend to clear the apples.07.10

Good that the Loperamide seems to have done the trick. I also supplement with vitamin D and C. I did look at all in one supplements but decided to buy them separately to get a higher dose of them.Not too uncomfortable, just inconvenient if sitting in church or by the graveside or going anywhere for that matter. Anyway another dose of Loperamide seems to have done the trick. Then I decided to have just some of the broth from the soup I'd made, so no fibre and it has remained where I put it, so I may repeat the experiment in a while. Have to be careful though - I've been avoiding much in the way of vegetables for this very reason. Only eating onion (low fibre but a bit high on the sugar) and mushrooms - also not fibrous. I have had some spinach, of course, but that has never seriously affected me for some reason. Maybe I'll have to watch out for that in future. Have to rely more on meat but may need some sort of supplement to get the vitamins and minerals that I need. I have some B12, C and D supplements - all separate but it's a bit of a bind taking the 3 different things on top of all my pills and I often forget so perhaps I should have a look for an all-in-one supplement. I'll ask Neil what he takes to support his very restricted diet.
Good morning everyone, it’s market day here in the dark and dangerous north so I will be flitting from stall to stall muttering ‘carbs, more carbs, even more carbs, ah! Bacon”. “Sourdough bread is better for your gut”. - no it isn’t and I already have a proudly exhibiting gut thank you very much. They do have an interesting variety of scotch eggs by some folks branded as The Clucking Pig and the game counter is good for a treat. Started on a course of Prednisolone yesterday - only 5 days but 40mg a day.
Art bit - another one finished. Have a smashing Saturday if you can, I am drinking koffy next.
