A couple of weeks ago Mr NQN and I were both going to see the doctor. Not for anything serious but because I had purchased a deal from one of those discount websites. It was for a deal to visit a back doctor to get an Xray and then a massage. Of course I just bought it because I am a massage monster-I love them to bits. After waiting 6 weeks for an appointment we turned up and they did some Xrays and we had our massage. A few weeks later we returned to get our results.

Now this is where the difference between Mr NQN and I lies. He’s a sportsman and I am anything but. His natural instinct is to compete on everything. Mine isn’t although I become a fierce competitor if you get me on a topic that I care about and then Franck Eggelhoffer emerges and I must make something faaabulous (or I get very agitated if I don’t guess the answers on “Letters and Numbers”). Most other things I don’t give a hoot about and I don’t care who “wins”.

The doctor told him his back results and they were good. He was triumphant and grinning like a monkey. The doctor then turned to me and told me that my back was a mass of problems. I knew it would be, I’ve been wearing heels long before I should have and I’ve had a bad slip that had me on my back for two weeks. Mr NQN being the natural competitor looked happy at getting better test results until he heard her tell me that I had one leg that was slightly shorter than the other by less than 1cm!
