It's time to stop doing forward rolls

So I picked up the phone and called an adviser who is now working towards looking at income protection quotes for me. 

She came back to me a couple of weeks ago, with providers having asked her if they could hold fire while they waited for the results of my hernia investigation. I am happy, if embarrassed, to report I have been dishonourably discharged, with no hernia.

I now eagerly await the arrival of the various quotes – as long as they are not dependent on my ability to do living room gymnastics.
