LazyDaisy Oct 2022 3:32pm, 5 Oct 2022 36,861 posts	0 LazyDaisy So did I But I pass this on as a Top Tip I read on the (I think) Grazia website: she always wears shoes that are at least half a size too big, then pads the insides with silicone pads (like Happy Feet, I assume.) That still wouldn't stop me falling off the heels and twisting my ankle though.

LazyDaisy Oct 2022 7:35pm, 12 Oct 2022 36,920 posts	0 LazyDaisy On the M5 today there were the usual lorries loaded with chalets (of the sort that are pitched in holiday parks) - we always see several of those - but also two lorries carrying army tanks.

Eynsham Red Oct 2022 11:16am, 17 Oct 2022 9,073 posts	0 Eynsham Red That is sad LindsD 🙁 I fell over a few weeks back at parkrun and a lady a good distance in front of me turned back to see if I was ok. It’s a shame that the general public aren’t necessarily so kind.

Welshpoppy Oct 2022 11:38am, 17 Oct 2022 2,351 posts	0 Welshpoppy That is awful that no one came to your aid or even asked if you are okay. I fell a few weeks ago and an old man came out of his bungalow to ask if i needed help and was okay.Initially I felt like Dio but he was being so kind that I forgot my embarrassment.But got up quickly to show all was okay then limped away..
LindsD Oct 2022 11:41am, 17 Oct 2022 57,518 posts	0 LindsD Thank you all. I just couldn't believe that no one even asked whether I was OK after I had got up.
