you get jtd back when you put the till reciept details online(www.tesco.com) you get dtd back at cs if you have been overcharged instore.i.e the price you paid is igher than what the sel is. te prices are national, but express store are on a different price thing and they tend to be slightly dearer.

Thanks mymerrywidow for the info.We are off to playschool

Only got back 3 pages and got a tear in my eye. This quote sums it all up for me. Wow, if you write one liners like that your book will be fab.

That's awful ... sounds like she could do with a 3 point selt belt/chair harness contraption that they have for toddlers. The type I'm thinking of are soft fabric ones ... like a sheet that fits over the back of a chair and under the person ... and then a T shaped section fits between the legs and ties at the sides.

Sounds like there's a gap in the market if there isn't something like this for adults.

I think you are right as I haven't seen anything around like this for old people/invalids

Hicks - it sounds as though you have been right royally trouted :eek: :eek:

I had a "friend" whose granddaughter has Angelman's Syndrome. I think she was 7 or 8 when I last saw her. She could walk, albeit rather clumsily, she can't speak, she can barely see and hear. She has tremendous strength for her age and is bigger for her age than she should be. She is obsessed with food, if she's not watched she'd put her hands in to hot pans to grab the food, or grab food off of other children's plates. Some years ago Social Services/Occupational Therapy provided her with a chair with straps so she could be strapped in to be kept out of harms way. At night she has to be locked in her room or she would wander the house which is way too dangerous, especially if she was to try and get up/down stairs on her own.

She eventually out grew the chair and her mum put in a request for another one. Social Services/Occupational Therapy came and said she wasn't getting another one and took the old one away. They also demanded that the locks be removed from her bedroom door and that a report would be submitted. Why? inhumane treatment and it was against the girls rights etc etc (I forget what they they officially called it but it was something along those lines).

Shocking.

What you say is so true, that chair would be classed as a form of "restraint" which is severely frowned upon, and also locking the bedroom door another form of restraint - it doesn't matter that the child could hurt herself, or the parents get no sleep at all. In a home where i use to work there was a service user who use to get up in the middle of the night and wonder into other peoples rooms and more often than not bite a chunk out of their noses, but we were not allowed to lock her in, and also the rooms of the other people could not have locks on their doors either as it meant they couldn't wander in and out of their rooms freely without gaining assistance from staff, we asked for them to be put on the doors for safety and their answer was "would you lock your bedroom every time you entered or exited at home? - NO" so we couldn't have them!! "PC" gone mad !!!
