Woohoo its Friday
Friday--signals, a weekend of my partner having ME say to her "I WANT TO GO THERE HERE AND EVERYWHERE" , in my "wheelie"
DONT STOP ME NOW!!!!!!!
I want to go all places and to see how they are, really accessible, and if not up to scatch tell the people in charge............
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Today I went to the Social Centre (School, as we call it) my CLAIT exam (spreadsheets has got one "minor" correcction (which can be done next week)
I wasnt too bothered about doing it today as it was nearly the end of the lesson.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have just lost out on a couple of active manual wheelchairs (on ebay) I have a main (LOMAX 2active, in Silver) but want one to act as a second chair I can use abroad and for general outdoors "hard work) the LOMAX is too "nice" for that sort of thing. Alan

Confused ????
Today, in the post, I recieved an application form from Leonard Cheshire for Workability.
It says I need a referance from "Employment/Job Search Agency" I have never been to one of these !! Since becoming ill (and giving up my job) I have never given work another thought (and any advice given to me has been that I CANNOT undertake employment because of my illness and its deteriation).
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Been out in the garden doing "greenfingered" things
I have been out on my tricycle for an hour today, as the sun has got its hat on.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This might be of interest to you,
