RE: Buying a new iron......
Ali dear oh dear.. how much can you ramble on about ironing..??
Well it was always something people were going to get steamed up about! I've been away for a few days and nearly bought a Phillips in France where the price was the same figure in Euros rather than pounds, but then my bro-in-law stopped me and said there wassome TV channel where they got their's from and it was about £40.
Thank you for all your info Prashna, you've set about the ironing business with your usual thorough approach! and Calla Lilly - the idea of that gadget is good - but I can just see all those tools getting lost and I'm just not sure about it - let us know how you get on though!

RE: Buying a new iron......
Went to the doctors last week about some wrist problems I have been having and I now have an offical excuse to never iron again - woohoo!!!
Well it isn't really woohoo as it could affect my massage business ~ i have been told that I have the beginnings of carpal tunnel syndrome ~ however willc ross those bridges as I come to them.
However it is still a brilliant excuse to never have to iron again ~ :D:D:D
RE: Buying a new iron......

RE: Buying a new iron......
Oh HolisticHeaven, that is a great excuse! I've had carpal tunnel for the last three years and I'd never thought about using it as an excuse not to iron! (Although I really don't iron much anyway, my work tunics and my son's school shirts are about as far as it goes!)
Just so you know, CP isn't all bad, well saying that, I'd rather not have it but since I do, I have a steroid injection in my wrists once every 12 months or so and it frees up my hands for a bit. I can still do massage, I just get a bit stiff and painful if I don't do it regulary.
Anyway, take care.
Claire.

Spinal music - there all mad, ironing underwater 😀
Hi claire,
Thanks for the advice re CP, the doctors haven't doen too much as yet but have given me a splint which is actually of no help, and also a long list of activitys to avoid ~ ironing been one!
I was talking to another therapist who has a different RSI and she was saying that if I rotate which therapies I do i.e no more than two full reflexology treatments a day, alternated with the other therapies I do that would stop me from straining the wrist any more.
