Also can't get post, can only speak to a Doctor over the phone, road works on every corner and on and on it goes. The Medway Pain Clinic has nearly a one year waiting list even though there is severe pain.. its ok for me as I can spend the children's inheritance and hopefully get some help but maybe not easy for some. I hope you managed to get an appointment before Christmas and can start the ball rolling on hopefully getting the pain under control.

Yes I am going next Tuesday for spinal nerve block injections under a general (?😃) Pain can change places in an instant so all very unstable. Some things they can't actually diagnose, although the back's had it, so they have suggested nerve blocks and fingers crossed. There is a big formal dinner the night before, so have had to cancel the starter and dessert. and that hurts and no alcohol and that hurts more. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh that’s a pain 🙄, but missing out on the night before will be so worth it if the nerve blocks give you some much need relief. How marvellous will that be? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have never seen me cry before, not even with the Big C or the heart attack or any other problems. I don't like this crying wreck either, but the strangest thing is that the one thing that never left me is my sense of humour. Oh well better get off to bed.

lincslady Posted December 11, 2023 #53180 Share Posted December 11, 2023 Sleepless nights again - absolutely no spoiler, but does anyone else think that some of the dance steps and moves by some of the contestants go way beyond what is ballroom dancing? And does it matter? After all it is called 'Strictly'. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josy1953 Posted December 11, 2023 #53181 Share Posted December 11, 2023 I was sorry to see Anabel Croft go out even though she has been the weakest dancer for the last few weeks. I was hoping that the girl who used to be in Coronation Street would go out even though she was clearly the better dancer. I just think that she is the most irritating person when ever she speaks. I hope that Layton and Nikita win. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lincslady Posted December 11, 2023 #53183 Share Posted December 11, 2023 I will stick my neck out, (having failed to not have any spoilers, though suspect it doesn't matter now) and say that after Saturday I slightly hope Bobby might win. I am afraid I really don't want Layton to win - two reasons only; he truly has been a professional dancer and should not have been entered, and their routines are very much showbiz and not ballroom dancing. I think he is sure he is going to win, however. Sadly, personalities do tend to shine through when we get to know so much about them, and I suspect my judgement is partly based on likes and dislikes. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really didn't like Layton in the early weeks but he's grown on me - mainly because I felt sorry for him re all the trolling and hate mail. There's no doubt he's a wonderful dancer but I personally don't think he should have been in the show in the first place. Maybe next year the BBC will not permit entrants with such a pro dance background. Ellie has done incredibly well and I've loved some of her performances but her parner, Vito, drives me mad with his nonsensical ramblings. Methinks he loves himself just a bit too much. Bobby - not sure - a bit hit and miss for me. He looks like a string of spaghetti because he's so gangly. I did love his Quickstep though. He's so light on his feet. I think he seems like a sweet boy and I probably like him the best. Either way I'm really looking forward to the final! Have a good day.

I agree about Layton background in dancing and that most of his routines are twisting the dancing to suit his showbiz style, I’m afraid that it leaves me cold watching him being a contestant but very good as a performer. I read that he hasn’t done a ballroom dance for several weeks, as opposed to Latin. He has not been doing well in the public voting with Ellie then Bobby doing better, Annabel has been getting a lot of the public vote so it will be interesting where her votes go to now. I don’t think Layton will win. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yorkshirephil Posted December 11, 2023 #53190 Share Posted December 11, 2023 Much better day here with some sun, especially after the two mainly wet and windy days we have had. Travelling down to Chesterfield for lunch with relatives later, we will stop off at Medowhell as Mrs YP wants to see the decorations and won't accept a drive by. Enjoy the week. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farage did quite well. I thought he would go out fairly early. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lincslady Posted December 11, 2023 #53192 Share Posted December 11, 2023 Since all the dancers have been so good, and in most cases learned such a lot and obviously worked very hard, it does tend to come down to who the public like most. I really liked Annabel, and she and Johannes are so genuinely good with and for each other. Bobby is a likeable young lad, and a gorgeous ballroom dancer, and Ellie is just a northern lass, rather inarticulate but she has become an excellent dancer which she was not at the beginning. Layton, sadly, does have what appears to be a bit of petulant streak, and obviously if he does not win I fear will put it down to homophobia, which I don't think would actually be the case. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
