Providing a handful of emergency instructions in a choice of both English and her own first language was merely a courtesy consideration and has nothing to do with being broad or narrow minded.Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11639094548415759560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27874443.post-38752339644970897892009-05-10T13:19:00.000+01:002009-05-10T13:19:00.000+01:00It was very broad minded of you to assume that she...It was very broad minded of you to assume that she can't understand english.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27874443.post-62037795694728931182009-03-28T14:49:00.000+00:002009-03-28T14:49:00.000+00:00It's been a while, but it's good to come back and ...It's been a while, but it's good to come back and see how well you're doing.<BR/><BR/>We've moved to Horwich, which is full of shops and has a resource centre, library and the doc's close by. I'm *still* overwhelmed at being able to wander to the shops for little things, rather than needing a lift or a taxi, and it's been two months. I have yet to run out of things to do. I don't think you'll have a problem.<BR/><BR/>Congratulations on your new PA.Supermousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03937788057810425359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27874443.post-12999890594414764452009-03-26T21:47:00.000+00:002009-03-26T21:47:00.000+00:00Glad it all worked out so well.Glad it all worked out so well.DDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13492663951378700643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27874443.post-61210150290856604702009-03-26T12:25:00.000+00:002009-03-26T12:25:00.000+00:00OooOOOOOH, I think Terri wins.OooOOOOOH, I think Terri wins.Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11639094548415759560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27874443.post-61592745829313568382009-03-26T12:24:00.000+00:002009-03-26T12:24:00.000+00:00How about "chick flicks" that Steve wouldn't be se...How about "chick flicks" that Steve wouldn't be seen dead at? If you have an Odeon complex near you, pop in and ask for one of their special needs forms - for a fiver a year, you are entitled to take a carer in free of charge, so a trip to the movies for my son and I costs about £6 - pretty good value for money these days. <BR/>And of course the wheelchair bag is a handy place for snacks and drinks, so you don't have to spend huge amounts at the concession stands.<BR/>TerriAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27874443.post-6884546702903882672009-03-22T08:56:00.000+00:002009-03-22T08:56:00.000+00:00Yipeee for a good first day.

Looks like the interview process went well - in that you picked a good'un - so hurrah for that and hurrah for you. <BR/><BR/>Stuff to do... how's your locale for arty type galleries? There's a few little ones near me that have quirky little exhibitions and also serve coffee and cake and sarnies, so you can have a mooch and go, "ooh pretty!" and then have an unpressured sit down, and wend your way when you're ready, plus they tend to be quite uncrowded on weekdays where they would be inaccessibly crowded at weekends. <BR/><BR/>Sort of depends if there's anything local to you. I suspect Brighton is overrun, but there's likely to be something similar. <BR/><BR/>KKatiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14255575000862197175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27874443.post-51330582039422803422009-03-19T21:01:00.000+00:002009-03-19T21:01:00.000+00:00I guess it sounds like a strange thing to get exci...I guess it sounds like a strange thing to get excited about.
