    Have you got somewhere to park? Do you have a Blue Badge? You can get let off congestion charge if you have a Blue Badge, but I think you have to pay a one off charge at beginning. Sorry am a bit vague about it, but it's automatic for Motability cars. Parking is horrid difficult in London though - we even got a ticket outside DD1's house when we were there in the spring to meet new grandson - he was going for small op (tongue tie) and I was so worried I forgot to put up the blue badge - warden was not helpful and in the end OH just paid up as his letter explaining got "lost" as he stupidly didn't send it Signed For. (rolls eyes)

    Alfie, I just don't know what to say. Hugs.

    Not yet. I started a thread on the disability board about blue badge. I go up and down, and I just don't know if I feel I need one. My good days it definitely is not, and my issue is I feel fraudulent applying for one based on those days. I'm really up in the air over it and it was interesting to see it provoked really strong responses. I think ultimately I cannot see my applying in 2013. And I know it takes a while anyway, We'll see. I managed yesterday on the tube and train with a stick. I got one taxi, and mainly because of time, from a restaurant to the train station to come home, to get the last train in the evening!

    I have some where to park in congestion charge zone, and might me worth me paying it.

    In that case could you not apply for one and if successful use it only when you feel you need it?

    Well, that's what people keep saying to do, but when i asked about eligability they said if you can walk more than 100 metres unaided then you're pretty unlikely to get it. There are qualifiers I meet like pain etc, but on a good day I can run skip and jump. Ona bad day I crawl. Every day, whether I crawl or use sticks or whatever, I walk more than 100 metres alone, just to let the chickens out I do that.

    Does it not mean comfortably walk that distance as in it is not painful or a challenge on a bad day?
