Thank you for your lovely musical Advent calendar, Kayleigh. I am really enjoying it.

Today’s good thing is my new tablet cushion. I struggle to hold my tablet but my new cushion stand for it arrived today and it’s already making a huge difference.

This vehicle is now for sale again.

There is nothing wrong with it - my carer has changed his mind about driving it.

I paid £2850 but would seriously consider a reasonable offer

I was...

We do understand, Panniertank.

I used to really enjoy driving and the independence it gave me. I had to let my beloved Alfa Romeo go when I needed hand controls, which really upset me. I bought a...

Well, chocolate and caramel tray bake sounds delicious and perfect for a celebration!

Ha ha ha! Being naughty means I go for the men every time. I’d be spoilt for choice, wouldn’t I? Who to choose, though? Ladies’ man, Doug - hmm, I wonder if he’s married? Barry with his hidden depths...

What could possibly be more important than a forum party?

Doug has the booze, Barry has the nibbles, Kayleigh will keep us all entertained and I’ll provide the umm... I’ll bring erm... that’s it!...

Hi Kate,

That’s a dreadful state of affairs. My OT is brilliant - I can’t imagine having to cope with MND without her.

People have cited the Scottish healthcare system as a beacon of...

Dear Panniertank, please remember you’ve had several nights without panic attacks. Just because you had one last night doesn’t mean they will become as bad as before.

You’ve done brilliantly since...

Low gear, Barry? I don’t think so. Ha ha ha.

Your family sounds like mine- love you to bits and those “benefits” mean they love you even more!

At a guess I’d say that it’s wine but I’ve no idea if it’s any good - I’m assuming it is as you are obviously pleased, so congratulations. Will you be drinking it tonight to celebrate?

** Oops! Is...

Thanks, Kayleigh.

I haven’t managed to sit in the chair today - still recovering from yesterday’s excitement.

I forgot to mention that someone is working on overriding the speed limiter for me...

You’re welcome, Panniertank

I understand your wanting to maintain nerves and muscles but you need to balance your physical needs with your mental health needs.

Fingers crossed you and your...

Sorry you’ve had another fall, Barry. As you say, the prospect of going somewhere enjoyable makes it easier to pick yourself up and dust yourself off

I hope you’re recovering well today.

Panniertank, I am so pleased you’ve been to see your GP - well done! I hope, for your sake that the referral/s is/are acted on quickly.

Have you thought about getting some help with doing...

Thanks, Debbie.
Mine’s a Salsa mini 2.

Today’s good thing is a souped up wheelchair.

I had been struggling to cope with sitting in my powered chair for more than 2.5 hours at a time, which turned hospital appointments and social trips...

Thank you for mentioning this, Doug. It certainly is a good thing in my opinion. I found that whole thread upsetting and I probably wasn’t the only one .

Thank you, Terry. I try not to slide into a cesspit of self pity too often, but sometimes the sides are just too steep.

Thank you Ellie and Debbie.

Debbie, no, I don’t want to have Safeguarding proceedings hanging over me, with the accompanying threat of having to move into a nursing home. I am slowly trying to...

Hi Lynne, Ellie and Debbie

I’m not talking about a lack of cleaning or a bit of untidiness, I’m talking about having nothing to eat ( literally surviving on Quavers because I can’t swallow...

I happened across this interesting crossover today. I enjoy her voice and this song but was still surprised by how well it works.

Fancied a touch of Acapela from my youth, this afternoon :

Sarah, I’m sad that you and your wife are having marital problems. I think it’s almost unavoidable when something asked huge as MND is involved. As others have said, your diagnosis affects both and...

Today’s good thing is that I’ve received a bright and chIrpy email which is helping me to feel happy. Look out world! Ha ha ha.
