    toots several options, most disability needs stores keep them, I think that's what valli sent as that is what that shop is but the website won't work for me at the mo. There is a small company, I met the owner at an exhibition of disability services http://www.unplugz.com/ these are great! **edit** just got the page to work of the ones Valli suggested, I have used those, they are ok but I managed to snap quite a few and the 'unplugz' I found stronger.

    Nativity Advent - try WH Smiths! Or Amazon, the 'Lunell' one is lovely! WH Smiths doesn't have a piccy on it's site I just looked but I did find this one http://astore.amazon.co.uk/under5s/images/0735813906
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    That's what I thought - and at about 5' 10" my boy is big enough to wash the tops too ... so two strapping lads and they look like they can do the job.
    Lets see if it was a one off:confused:

    lil-me I wondered if you could help me with your extensive knowledge -I am looking for the loops that you fit to plugs to make them easier to pull out of the socket - I can get whole new plugs with hand loops on them but i have seen (a few years ago now) smaller versions for just a couple of fingers - IYKWIM! I dont want to have to replace all my plugs with the hand versions as they are bulky and it would be expensive - I have the feeling there is a stick on finger version but havent managed to locate them.
    TIA
