    I'm back.

    Apparently Jessica's class only did 5 spellings today rather than the usual 10 because the teachers didn't know any more words! :rotfl:

    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.

    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)

    Okay that is reasonable then - I am sure you have looked into this but is there not another Trust or something that would foot the bill.

    claire - sorry didnt know it was for a disabled person, i would seriously look into size on that case as you might need extra 'movement' space or a seat building in so the 1400/1200 might be better - although as ever more expensive, i would also doube check the cable costs (£60) as that does seem a little expensive for cable

    Gonzo it only my arm that is affected and my balance so it doesn't matter about the size of the cubicle to be honest, i just need a shower instead of the bath cause the bath is a bit dangerous for me to get out of

    The cable has to be run from the front of the house to the back
