    yep - makes perfect sense Sar. I was able to do the form completely online as I've got a Gateway password, it felt a bit repetitive in parts, as if it was asking the same question in a different way. Anyhoooo, whichever way the decision, it's cool.

    I'm doing my kitchen and utility room this week Linda, just trying to decide what colour from the variety of leftovers in the garage :confused:

    Have to say though - Bunny's cat Turnip was, i believe, a dog in a previous life. I've never met such an attention seeking kitty in my life!! He spends his time permanently attached to people wanting to be petted, he's such a sweety.

    I've got 2 like that BB, they're both in bad books today though.

    They were in the living room overnight, but wanted to come out, so they scratched at the carpet near the door and shredded it :mad: As if that wasnt bad enough, they actually pulled up the carpet, so it rucked up behind the door so we couldnt open it. Thought we were going to have to break the door down at one point this morning, because the dog was trapped in here, but we managed to somehow smooth the carpet down from under the door with a large kitchen spatula. Carpet looks a right mess now, little darlings :mad: :mad: :mad:

    If you could see the size of our dog's blimmin huge paws, there would've been a hole in the floor if it was her, not just shredded carpet ;)

    BB, good luck with the application. If you get it I will be pleased. My sister was awarded DLA for life due to having cerebal palsy. However, she thought one day she might apply for a part time job that she had seen and would possibly be able to do and rang to ask the disability people to ask if she got the job if she might get some help with getting to the job - she can't drive and her scooter is not reliable enough to get her there. She didn't even apply for the job as she realised getting there would be a problem..

    On the basis of that phone call her DLA was withdrawn and she had to reapply.....
