It's 2 weeks and 6 days until I get my benefit money again then I can get the wheelchair and insurance... I've just got to stop spending until then!
I don't need anything and the things I want can wait until my August pay days... I'm so close now! I've just got to stop spending!

Does anyone else live in the UK that can help me please?
I live in Gloucester in the UK and I'm going to buy a wheelchair at the end of this month and I'm going to put a page on my site giving a rating out of 3 stars for transport and things to do within 8 miles of transport.
The bus station is about a mile away and the train station is about 2 miles away from where I live so, as long as the buses and trains are disabled friendly, the UK is my oyster!
But what I want to know, is where should I go other than Gloucester and Cheltenham and do you want me to be a tourist or just a visitor? Should I look for disabled friendly hotels or just shops and museums etc? Should I look for restaurants or fast food places?
Thank you!

So much braver than me!
I've just seen some photo's that a friend took on a hot air balloon flight... he's so much braver than me for doing it!
Even before I became disabled I couldn't bear to go up more than 3 "open" (not sure what else to call them) steps so more than 2 feet in the air would totally freak me out let alone more than a thousand feet!
I hope you enjoyed the trip, C!

Bless her little teddy bear feet!
Don't ask me why Mitzi has got teddy bear feet... it's a Steve thing! lol
I took her on her walk half an hour ago and she was a good little girl until she saw a cat on the other side of the street.
She didn't bark or snarl or even pull on her lead, she just refused to come back to the house! She's a strong, determined little girl when she wants to be! lol

That's a relief!
I use Roboform to save my logins so that I don't have to remember them all.
An update came up on it this morning. Not a problem usually.
It said that it had to uninstall to update itself.
I panicked.
What if it didn't back up my log in details before it uninstalled itself!
Disaster!
I took a deep breath and hit the button to install the update... too late now!
When it took me to the Roboform page at the end of installing it, I immediately checked to see if my log in details were still there...
They were! Yay!
A wave of relief washed over me! lol

Just walked Mitzi and...
I've just got back from walking Mitzi and she was a good girl on the way and most of the way back until she wanted to go into our neighbours house instead of hers! lol
Bless her little cotton socks!
Need to go and clear up her poo from the back yard now then I'll wash me hands and have breakfast... I'm hoping for another productive day today!

Another productive day today!
Woke up nice and early
Watched Masterchef Australia
Took Mitzi for a longer than normal walk without falling over
Fed Mitzi
Fed me
Watched The Bill
Let Steve's carer in
Read and replied to loads of forum posts
Made Steve's lunch
Caught up with my online communities
Had a bath
Made Steve's tea
I'm about to take my pills and head to bed!
I know that my list of what I've done today may not seem like being very productive but it is for me! :-)

Here we go again! :-(
Since Monday, I've set up 3 direct debits with 3 different charities totaling £35 a month, so not a huge amount in the grand scheme of things, but I just feel so guilty about not donating to them, I just can't say no :-(
*sigh*

What's even more impressive is...
I've just put the first hearing aid in and just having it in one ear I can hear loudly and clearly for the first time in my life!
I've now got both aids in and I can hear the TV and both laptops whirring away even though it's on the minimum sound level on both hearing aids!
I'm going to love having these aids 'cos I can hear properly for the first time in my life and I can hear the phone without taking them out too!
This is going to be an amazing investment that only cost me £21 instead of almost £50 because Steve got me a £30 Amazon voucher for our anniversary on Sunday and I had to pay just over £1 for the postage and packing!
I can hear Steve clipping his toenails now! lol

That's impressive!
I ordered 2 hearing aids on Sunday, they were dispatched yesterday and they've just arrived!
Less than 48 hours after ordering them and they are in my hands!
I just hope they work now! lol
