Our pillows, which WERE good had lost it. With not being well etc we asked our daughter to get us two "medium" firm ones. She got them from Dunelm. Excellent. Really comfy.

Morning all not cold todayOver the last couple of years I have developed a weird problem.........is this similar to yours ?I have spent.....and wasted so much money over the years trying different pillows. I am prone to neck ache which turns into a headache at times. Was finding my Tempur one a bit too firm and stupidly tried a soft one for a few nights and ended up with a couple of days of headaches so back to the Tempur. It's one of the shaped ones to support the neck. I'll just stick with it and stop experimenting!
I sometimes wake up with a pain creeping up the right side of my neck.......it gets quite severe and results in a bad headache.
Tablets don't have any effect. I have to get up and sit in a chair for a few hours till it subsides.
I go weeks with no problem then, for some reason, it strikes.
Not nice.
Has the sofa got its 'anti fire' rating. Our local charity will not touch it without.Good morning all fellow wheezers. Another week begins.
This morning I have to wait in as a charity is collecting our old sofas before the arrival of the new ones on Wednesday.
MrsP has just found how to work Facebook, she had to get an account for part of her job, and has now found many of her ex trainee nurses who are scattered around the world.
It looks like the weather is going to be mixed so a turbo session in the man cave later looks to be on the cards.
Another busy day in paradise

I have facebook on my laptop. TBH I very rarely go on it as I can't believe all the drivel/crap/ foul language on there.
BUT........a serious question.
How did MrsP trace her friends ???
I have tried to trace a few old friends, type in a name......and get dozens and dozens of people with the same name.

Thats what happened to me when I looked for my brother on facebook, loads of people with the same name, turned out he isn't on there, I was talking to one of my Brother's In law and found that out from him.

I suspect it's wear and tear in the discs in the neck. I know if I turn my head back and forward I can hear it grating. All it needs is to sleep with your head/neck in a slightly awkward position and it sparks off the pain.

Mr WD always wears knitted hats because he doesn't have a lot of hair.
I look awful wearing a hat.
I do wear a cycling cap though.

Not keen either. I will wear a beanie if it's really cold to avoid earache but that's about it. I bought a waterproof Sealskinz baseball cap thinking I would wear it for running in the rain but it looked awful so I gave it to one of my neighbours along the road that wears them all the time.

This is possibly very simple to solve. A few years ago I was under a physio for neck muscle issues. I had the grating and crunching. I was given the exercises below for the muscle issue and was asked to do them five times/day holding for 10 seconds not the 5 shown. I did tell the physio I was only doing three repeats/day and she was OK with it. The grating went and the muscle issue solved.
Recently I've started a morning stretching routine. I noticed my neck is a bit crunchy so I'm including this routine. It's working.
Yes they have the labels, but, I think they will be recycled using the carcass and any other useable parts.
It seems they have traced her through various other contacts she had.
One way was through the veterinary contacts, others seem to be through the contacts of contacts network. One person has you/her on the phone list, and someone else also has them on the contacts list so a connection is made.
This morning she had one of her trainees from 33 years ago, now living in New Zealand get in touch.
Edit, I believe you can search for people on Facebook, it can take a while sitting through the names.
