    Ryan has a girlfriend?

    I have enough pizza left to feed me for the next 3 days, no cooking yay!

    BB, I know what you feel about losing the past. I know it's not the same but I felt that way when mum sold her wedding and engagement rings, it felt as though she was trying to get rid of our childhoods, and regretted everything to do with us, mad I know.
    Unless I say otherwise 'you' means the general you not you specifically.

    Can he hook it over his arm for now?

    It's got a loop on but as his fingers aren't working properly he doesn't have the range of movements to get it on and off and swap hands on rails etc.

    There's a grab rail going into the bathroom which is virtually at the top of the stairs anyway and seeing as I normally have to go help with that side of things I can support him for now - will get another stick sorted next week.

    You really do learn something new everyday here at the moment :D

    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.

    Pooky....fair play to you....I have only been looking after my sister for a day and a half....

    Poor girl had to go to bed at 9pm last night, cos if i didn't put her in bed she would have had to sleep sitting in a chair! The stairs were a challenge, I forgot she lived in a bungalow :rotfl:

    Tomorrow I am going to buy her a pair of leggings. Getting her in them will be funny!
