    It's doing the snow/sun thing here too although it's really dark here now and snowing very heavily again....cat's are not impressed.

    Been to Mr A's for a weekly shop - DH made it 3/4 of the way round with his electric wheels but was to sore and tired to make it all the way....was lovely to have his company without me having to push him.

    Going to go hoover the house from top to bottom before he goes to sleep and then I'm going to sit and watch a film ( and probably sleep through it) :D

    The electric wheels sound good!

    Nice one Linda, know how keen you were to do it again :)

    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.

    Yay for the leccy wheels Pooks! Sounds like OH can get a lot more involved and that's always good.

    Took pump back, got different pump, got refund and put in pot. Went to get scripts but as per they messed up, but the nice reception lady said they'd sort them tomorrow

    Sadly they're not his electric wheels, just the ones we can hire out when we're in town but makes such a difference....pushing 17stone of man and wheels is no mean feat when you live in a town that's all hills!!

    It's been snowing sideways for the last half hour.....I did a double take as I looked out the window.

    Well done on the GNR place Linda :T
