    Buffy, you don't have to do it at the same speed as others. I'm still on the de-cluttering.

    Everyone's pace is different. I think the important thing is to do them.

    Beanie, I'm getting a Vauxhall Insignia, a lot bigger than I'm used to but Vauxhall fit all their motability cars with front and rear parking sensors. I'm going to get a 'D' keyring for the keys, to remind me that it's diesel not petrol!

    I just find it too difficult because I'm so stressed, I know catch-22, so can't sort my muddled thoughts out. We're waiting to hear if we can get a mortgage at the moment :eek:

    It's a diesel so it's not too bad, but all new cars are crap to start with till they get run in. The spec says 56.5 combined, which I think is better than I'm getting now. It's really comfy and the seats are electrically adjusted in all directions, with lumbar support, so it's got everything I need.
