It is certainly a big place as my partner and l went there with our family a little while back as my poor brother was knackered pushing me around in my wheelie as we went here , there and everywhere.

Enjoy your headphones Hom3r.

Well there is another option they might use to get you out of your chair and that is the rolling pin option.

Trouble is whenever someone mentions stair lifts I get that image from Gemlins where the lift goes crazy and shoots up the stairs and out of the landing window.

Hope it works OK for your mum.

Re: What have you just bought?

Thanks heero it should be of help to my Mum. I was over this morning for her assessment for the alert system through the council, the good news is this should be fitted by the end of the week and this will give me great peace of mind as I am the main contact and key holder.

I treated myself to this and what's even better is the three easy payments and free steam mop I just hope it's as good as they say as I don't know anyone who has a Shark Vacuum Cleaner.

Bought "Exploding Kittens" and "Imploding Kittens". (I don't like cats, best to get them while they are little. )

That is excellent news to hear that the alert system will be fitted by the end of the week weenie for your Mum.

Our friend mentioned the Shark Vacuum Cleaner to us the other day as his wife is giving him hints that this would be a lovely Christmas present for her.

Re: What have you just bought?

Galaxy S7 Edge which was a forced purchase due to an unplanned meeting between old phone and stone paving slab.

Nice phone mind.
