Argh, I've just been on ebay looking for some of these magical crutch tips that are shaped like boots.... http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/CRUTCH-CANE-TIP-NEW-ALL-TERRAIN-NON-SKID-OIL-RESISTANT_W0QQitemZ120486961987QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item1c0d952343#ht_607wt_958 that are meant to be non slip, after very nearly falling outside this morning, but the ones on the link are the only ones I can find.. they're in the US and way too expensive with postage.

I could've sworn I'd seen them on there from UK sellers but can't find! Anyone any ideas? Thankyou!

Aren't they! I would like them in pink, to go with my turquoise crutches.... multicoloured!

Invasion

Aha. Getting somewhere, found the actual site that sells them in US... Kane shoes. Have emailed to ask!

AFAI remember, caller ID is free when you you register with their "Privacy" service which cuts down on the junk phone calls - think I did it online??? will have a nosey.


Here we go

Caller Display* shows you the number of the person calling, so you can decide whether to pick up the phone or leave it to your answering service. If you sign up for BT Privacy at Home**, Caller Display is included FREE.
Caller Display cannot disclose the number if the number is withheld or unavailable.
* Caller Display equipment is required. Caller Display requires a compatible phone, (available at BT Shop online or from other suppliers). Numbers will not be displayed if the call is from payphones, some switchboards, non-BT network or where a caller's number is withheld.
You can sign up now online in Your Account

Thanks everyone, I felt so much better after writing the letter. I suspect the old besom will disappear in a puff of smoke, as nobody ever dares question her ultimate wisdom. I think even the Head avoids her as much as possible, giving her as little contact with human beings as possible, saving that for him and the Deputy Head. Mind you, she was turned down for the Headship when it came up, so her need to feel powerful is probably somewhat more desperate than it used to be.

I have decided I want a slim walking stick with a squidgy handle and sparkly red glitter all over it!

http://www.glamsticks.co.uk/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=64:mama-mia&catid=36:glamsticks&Itemid=75 They do this one in red as well - don't know about a squidgy handle though!

I said before I'd ordered a sparkly stick from there, but I haven't actually seen what the handle looks like yet. Bit worried it will be suitable - the one I have now has a lovely curve to it that fits the hand. It's a bit sad how excited I am over a sparkly stick! If I was rich I'd get loads in different colours. I love the Mamma Mia one, and Amethyst. They are pretty expensive though.

I ditched BT about 8 years ago when they kept sending me bills for £588 for absolutely no reason for about a year, despite telling me several times that they'd sorted it out and it did my head in!

I too want squigy (sp?) handles Jojo! If they sold those seperately I'd be all over them! Anyone seen any them that you can just slide onto convention crutches?

:wave: to LeedsSB too

Hope everyone's alright?
