            SRM-glad they are seeing you soon-put your mind at rest. The retails therapy sound like fun, I look forward to the day I can shop and not feel guilty!

            Well done Claire! That'll be me and sister this weekend, I'm determined to get all her crap out of the flat, my new furniture put together and in the right places, and all the clutter tidied away.
DSA people have just gone, he's going to recommend lots of new toys. He kept on at me about voice software and I was 'no, don't want it, don't want to feel stupid talking to myself'. Then he gave me a demo of it, and I totally changed my mind! So he's recommending that and some other fancy software, a new laptop cos this dinosaur wont run them, a laptop tray, some ergonomic bits and bobs, and that I get an allowance to have the books comb bound. He's also recommending a PDA but says they don't like to approve those.
So I'm a happy Ames!
And thanks to this thread I've just remembered about Sunday so I'm going to nip over the road to the post box in a min.Unless I say otherwise 'you' means the general you not you specifically.0 - 
            hey Ames, just be careful on a laptop if they are recommending ones for you to buy make sure as ever you post up the specs so people can say if its carp however if they gonna give you it

on a £100 shop you might on average get 70 items save
10p per product = £7 a week ~ £28 a month
20p per product = £14 a week ~ £56 a month
30p per product = £21 a week ~ £84 a month (or in other words one weeks shoping at the new price)0 - 
            Sounds like a good meeting Ames

            Pooky - I am the Adaptations Coordinator for our local council and one of our tenants has just purchased a Jazzy Select mobility scooter.
It is narrower than a normal one and means that none of his internal doors need widening (It is an outside chair too). He is a big man, but he sits in it quite comfortably. You can also get one that rises up and down meaning that kitchen worktops etc are accessible for the person sitting in it.
Didn't know if it might be something your hubby could look at.

Oh,I often feel guilty Bun, but I don't do it every week, and OH spends whatever he likes on car stuff (£130 for a new speedo for DS Mini,just because it was "nicer" than the old one)...even stevens I reckon.....Debt-free...and staying that way...0
