      Well quite! I thought this morning that it hurt, but as the day has progressed it has swollen up quite nicely! So thought best to seek medical advice!

      Are you a bad luck magnet or what? Either that or you are the clumsiest person I have ever met ;-P

      Well I’m perhaps not the clumsiest person to walk the earth, maybe in Devon, but I do get ‘light headed’ when my blood sugar level is down! And have a history of just passing out!
