Hi all,

Well, I'm having a bit of a flare at present, hands, both arms and neck - the big RSD/RSI/stenosis/spondylosis/arthritis combo.... and apart from being painful, it makes me fearfully grumpy and bad-tempered

So I'm going to take this opportunity to have a whinge about two things which drive me to distraction....

I have to remove all the labels in the neck of my tops, they scratch, itch, sting...can't wear 'em! Is it me or is it me, but are they getting harder and harder to unstitch? Are the labels themselves made out of scratchier material, and the thread they use stronger? Almost impossible to unpick without ruining the garment...aaaarghhh, drives me nuts.

And the other thing is those sticky price labels they clap on everything you buy; I think shops should be made to remove them before you take the goods home - the glue they're using is super-strength, you need lighter-fuel to remove them and I just haven't got the dexterity in my fingers anymore to manage it.

Grrr bah humbug harrumph ... anyone else got any pet peeves?
all the best
