    Sorry it all seems bad news for you, but pleased you are feeling more human today.
    Absolutely.

    I rather like Ant Middleton on the SAS programme :o Xx
    Absolutely this, too :rotfl: he has the most amazing voice, and a really quiet confidence about him.

    I also like to hear about everybodies 'full' lives - disability or not, as it makes me think about my own in a different way. For example, when I was off work feeling sorry for myself I though of you volunteering beanie, and made myself get back up and out. So your experiences totally bring out the best in me x

    I had not thought of it like that :)


    Tis true. I have a couple of friends who use wheelchairs and it's amazing how much faster I can get a point across to thoughtless people by being able to give them specific examples of issues.

    Glad you feel a bit brighter today :) We all have a wobble from time to time when it all gets too much. But we must plod on.

    Awful about the cafe, don't get me started on the low life who do this sort of thing :(

    :rotfl: about the "tea ladies" so funny.
