I'm not sure of the design of the windmill but I'm fairly certain there will be instructions on YouTube, because there always are! I remember making the basic paper ones (below) as a child and it wasn't too complicated, but I imagine it's going to be the repair aspect that's tricky.

Thank you I’ve thought about these so will investigate 👍Baldybear said:Delurking to say instead of pads for mr sa have you tried pull ups as they were a life saver for my dad as the pads always moved. So much better designs now so you cant see you are wearing then. Used to get from allanda website which was great value and can usually get it from vat too. 😊I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)2 -
@Cherryfudge a paper windmill wouldn’t last 5 minutes here. It’s super windy because we’re so exposed and high up.Work has been crazy busy today for a Friday and it was non stop from the off.Nails done, went for a dark pink glitter. Went to the big Mr T and they had 25% off clothes etc so bought 2 pairs of earrings, one shaped like cocktail glasses and the other like palm leaves, plus a bright Mediterranean blue scarf I’ve had my eye on for a while that will look great with my new blazer.DD has had her CT scan which was a bit of an ordeal for her as yet again they couldn’t find a vein for the dye so she had to have an ultrasound to find one, then they rushed the dye so she felt funny. She’s now been discharged from the daily nurse visits. Hopefully this is her on the road to recovery 🤞
Finally cashed out £25 from Opinium 🥳
Didn’t get around to today’s gardening task as I just jumped in the bath when I got home from Mr T. Not had time for a bath since Sunday so really enjoyed it.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)6 -
Hopefully as you say DD is now on the mend.
Enjoy your weekend

Sorry for DD's palaver but great she's well enough to be discharged. Hopefully she'll adopt some of the seeing daylight and eating f&v habits she previously agreed to!
Well done for getting through busy work and cashing out opinium, where will you send your £25?
Glad you treated yourself to fab sounding accessories and a bath 😊1 -
All survey money goes to the me pot aka fritter fund. This pays for my nails and any other frivolous bits @PennysIntoPounds 🙂I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)4

Hurrah for the frivolity fund, much deserved1

Sounds like DD is on the mend now.
Do you get MrSA's incontinence products on prescription? My dad gets all of is catheter related supplies on prescription and delivered to his home. Hopefully you will find a better solution for him.Have a lovely weekend and enjoy your glittery nails!1 -
Between the nails and the scarf you will be wonderfully colourful! I saw so much hot pink while I was on holiday, especially as trousers. It looked great.
What a relief your DD is discharged from daily visits. I hope that helps her feel better, too, especially after all the palaver looking for veins.
And well done for getting to that elusive cashing out point. I think you really deserve some treats.I think a bit of sunshine is good for frugal living. (Cranky40)
