I can bring the Aldi lithium powered chainsaw and maybe the Black & Dekker battery one as well, but I'll need to make up another adapter to use the lithium battery pack as the Black & Dekker 18v batteries don't hold much charge these days.

DUMP POINT.

Should have mentioned this earlier...

There is a dump point in the caravan park just outside of town - only one there - & as it's council owned you are permitted to pull in & empty your system free of cost.

Ummm..... Not looking god for our attendance now. Margaret has a date with the surgeon's scalpel Wed some time and a follow up visit lunch time Friday. The toe issue is finally determined, the infection is in the bone, so antibiotics can't do the job due to insufficient blood flow within bones themselves. Hopefully it will only be a partial loss of the big toe and not all of it.

A very loud warning to all regarding communal showers such as those found in caravan parks and camp grounds, this is most certainly where this infection came from so no one is immune to suffering the same problems. The first signs are discoloured toe nails that appear to be thicker than normal, an immediate doctors visit is advised to stop the infection at this point and not allow it to burrow below through the flesh and into the bone, there is no other recourse than bone removal once it reaches this point.
I know we all know to where thongs or crocs in the shower but it's not just tinea that can be caught if you don't strictly observe the practice.

Sorry to read the outcome of Margaret's infected toe nail do hope that all goes good for her on Wednesday & she doesn't loose her toe.

I can't believe & neither could my Dr., that spraying my fungal finger nail infection cured it, it does say on the tin that it is good for tinea, I had used several other creams including prescribed by the Dr., over 18 mths, 3 mths of spraying a few times a day CURED it, highly recommend Glen 20.

Poor Margaret, toes are painful. But with the right pills she will make it ok better late than never, just means you will have to do all the chores then some if the poor girl is on crutches and has to keep her foot elevated. Never never go to any other shower when out and about, would rather have a wash down . Interesting about the Glen 20 Shirley, I love the stuff.

[Shirley]

Unbelievable, Dr Bruce as I now call him my neighbour told me to spray the finger after I showed it to him told me he used it on a toe nail, I had never bought it before but also think it's good even bought one for the bus last week.

Geez T1, you guys are having a rough run of it!

The angle must be due shine on them shortly

[Busman]

Heres some more bad news. May is in Japan looking after her mother afer a fall..

I was, maybe am, still coming by myself, until the storm on Friday. I had to drive the Suzy through some water, they have lots of idler bearings on the main belt and the bloody things have a soap based grease in them, as soon as they get near water the grease washes away and you get screaming bearings.

Trying to get fixed Monday/Tuesday but if I cant probably won't make it.

Warning Those with Suzy's don't drive them through water
