Hello, I wonder if any one is suffering with this ailment. I am eighty. Have been treated at a variety of hospitals over a period of ten years. First surgery carried out in 2003. Am between a rock and a hard place. Can have a colostomy at a private BMI hospital for £25,000, or wait indefinitely on the NHS waiting list with no date for the foreseeable. Every day is a challenge. I appreciate that there are countless people far worse off than I am. I would however be most grateful of any first hand information that can help me to manage this dire situation. Thank you.

I’m wearing my fishnets already!

Blossoming Well done re the fishnets grin. Do you have a spare pair, please???
I've been out all day. I took my friend Christmas shopping. She has dementia so can't manage it by herself.
A lovely surprise on my return. I checked Soop's Gofundme page and it is now £13,135. Brilliant!! Let's hope the target is reached over the next few days. Hang in there Soop.
We Can Can do it. grin

I have those too! The drive MrDoll mad with desire! Well wishfull thinking on my part. sad

I have been checking all the carpet retailers in the vicinity of Ross Hall, in the hope of securing a red carpet, for the day Soop leaves the hospital after her op.
I'm having a bit of difficulty, as we don't often see Royalty in this neck of the woods.

I think "bumping" is used by airlines to indicate that a passenger has been pushed ahead in the queue , or put up into a higher class . It's always a good thing !

We were bumped once, I got very excited to think we might be bumped into Business or even First but, alas, it was just Premium Economy where there was a most aggravating woman who kept everyone awake all night. I was tempted to bump her off mid-flight.

My fishnets have got moths in them!

I definitely think the fishnet footies would attract attention from a certain type of gentleman! wink

Perhaps if we all put foot pics we can break the internet and get the rest of the money for Soop. grin

Blossoming Thu 16-Dec-21 09:50:10

Great idea OnwardandUpward! grin

Calistemon Thu 16-Dec-21 09:52:48

A picture of my feet would certainly close down the internet!

tchshock

Do you know what, before I can take a foot photo I have to do something about my toe talons! I started cutting my toe nails a few days ago and got distracted! It could take me some time filing, sanding and filling before they look ok!!! It's a good thing my husband loves me! grin

OnwardandUpward Thu 16-Dec-21 09:54:45

PS I was joking about the filling. It made me think of DIY prep !!! grin

Morning Mr.&Mrs.Soop and all on the thread. Here are my feet, to 'kick' things off, so to speak grin. No fishnets at this time of the day. Saving those for the party.
Good luck with the fund today Soop.

Seems like my brain is in my feet this morning! Here's the photo smile

Marydoll Thu 16-Dec-21 10:03:24

Good morning all, I checked the latest balance, it's now standing at £13,235. Isn't that so heartening?

I daren't post a picture of my feet, my once, slender ankles and perfect toes, are now full of lumps, bumps and crossed toes, due to RA.
I would also need a chain saw to cut my toenails.

Now here is a question. Why are my toe nails so strong, but my finger nails keep splitting and breaking. Life really is unfair! wink

TillyTrotter Thu 16-Dec-21 10:04:14

Mine too Callistemon !
“Bumps” galore - am awaiting an operation to rid them of dreaded Bunions.

TillyTrotter Thu 16-Dec-21 10:06:43

I am as baffled as you about the ‘nails’ question you pose Marydoll but I agree the new Total is awesome!! ?

OnwardandUpward Thu 16-Dec-21 10:08:10

Marydoll it's because we don't do housework with our feet!! grin At least, I don't! grin

Blossoming Thu 16-Dec-21 10:18:38

It’s now at £13,435! Those foot pictures are working ?

Marydoll Thu 16-Dec-21 10:18:54

Housework? I am afraid that is a word, with which am unfamiliar !?

Calistemon Thu 16-Dec-21 10:22:48

People would pay good money not to see mine!

Blossoming Thu 16-Dec-21 10:27:57

Marydoll I don’t do housework with my hands or feet grin

Aveline Thu 16-Dec-21 10:48:10

Housework? What is this thing called housework?

Doodle Thu 16-Dec-21 10:49:05

Who needs fishnets when you have sexy bootees like these ?
Ho Ho Ho

TillyTrotter Thu 16-Dec-21 10:52:15

Love, love, love those Doodle ?
Also they hide a multitude of “lumps and bumps”

Doodle Thu 16-Dec-21 10:57:07

Only the foot ones Tilly the bodily lumps and bumps (overeating in lockdown) are still visible. Perhaps I should invest in a full Santa outfit ?

muse Thu 16-Dec-21 11:51:54

Excellent Doodle.. These would be great for MrMuse. His big toe nails are lethal and wear through the toughest of socks. His big toes would fit up the curly bit.?

TillyTrotter Thu 16-Dec-21 11:55:40

£13,435 now peeps! Deserves a fanfare I think ? ? ?
(avoiding the b word).
