    Good news about the windfall, would you need to keep the scooter outside or are you thinking indoors?

    Thats a great age for Best Boy, big old furry boy will be 18 next month but I can see him getting frailer under all that fur :(

    Sorry to hear about Miss J but its good she has had a loving home for her last days

    I dont know.
    If outside I need something to keep it in & if inside I need a ramp.
    I need to think things through carefully.
    It is all such a faff.
    Life is so complicated sometimes :(

    I guess you've got time to think it through properly. I've seen scooters advertised on local selling pages/Gumtree where the advert also included a sort of locking enclosure to keep the scooter in outside.

  • Sorry about Miss J Beanie but you are giving her a happy and loving home.

    Great news about the windfall :T. Someone on my street keeps their scooter in their front garden with a waterproof cover over it. I think a scooter sounds like an excellent idea as you'll be able to get out and about more without worrying about falling over :).
