    New water bottles:

    Thermos this one has a special thingy that you fill with water and freeze, and then put back in the bottle, so that your water stays cool, it's a little bulky and the lid's too difficult for me to do "properly" all the time, but as this is just the one for by my bed that's ok.

    This one is the one I bought to put in handbag, it doesn't look too much like a childs lunchbox one ;) and instead of having a sports top that you have to bite to pull up or touch it with your fingers! It twists up, which also keeps it clean when it's rolling around in a bag.

    I have one of these; but can't push the thing down enough to shut it properly.

    Can you see through the sides of this to the liquid or is it opaque Invasion?

    I don't understand the rug thing either Singlesue ;)

    Well I overdid things yesterday....new (to us, it's secondhand) sofa delivered and we weren't quite ready to have it in the front room (they arrived too early, wasn't supposed to be here for another 4 hours!), so asked them to just drop it outside the front door.

    We finally had things ready (only needed another 10 minutes, grrr) and me and eldest then huffed and puffed getting it in place...his shoulders went out, my back went out, so he was beggered for the rest of the day and so was I!

    We're having a quiet day today..:rotfl:
    We made it! All three boys have graduated, it's been hard work but it shows there is a possibility of a chance of normal (ish) life after a diagnosis (or two) of ASD. It's not been the easiest route but I am so glad I ignored everything and everyone and did my own therapies with them.
    Eldests' EDS diagnosis 4.5.10, mine 13.1.11 eekk - now having fun and games as a wheelchair user.

    SingleSue I hope that sofa's comfortable! Are you feeling better today after your exertions?

    I was cleaning the bathroom today, and all of a sudden my back went into really painful spasms..... what the heck is all that about? *insert Confused smilie*

    Seems to have settled down now, so I'm just gonna ignore it. Sshhh..... no-one tell Mr LW, ok?

  • Sue, please stay away from sofas, unless you're using them appropriately, in a relaxed manner :p

    Lol...thank guys.

    LW - Yep, not too bad today...taken it nice and easy with no extra activities. As for the sofa, well the kids say it is too comfy, they keep falling asleep on it!

    SH - As above.

    Invasion - Moi? (innocent face here), believe me, the only thing I am going to be doing with a sofa for the next long while is to relax on the blooming things!
