Getting really excited about the residential now. I just had a thought though... Will anyone remember me? I haven't been around over the last couple of years due to being all tied up with my MSc and having no time to breathe, and I just kind of lost track. Can you forgive me, and moreover, has anyone got the foggiest idea who I am??

I have not forgotten, though I may need a poke (recognition not my strong point). :hug:

I can't wait - I've packed and re-packed about twenty times!!

Ok Im getting to the 'its resi eve' excitedness which means panicking about what to pack.
Do we need to bring towels or does the hotel supply them?

Also Im on meal supplement shakes for some of my meals I usually use a blender and mix with half milk/half water. I have a shaker that Il bring or if i can squeeze my blender into my suitcase Il bring that but then its cleaning it. main question is though will it be ok to ask for milk/water for my shakes? I apoligse for not mentioning it on my form but its only been the last few weeks Iv been on them and i thought my stomach would have settled by now so its kinda last minute realisation that i need to 'shake it' at the resi.

Is there a program out yet. there was mention of it being emails a few weeks ago but i havent recieved it nor have a others iv mentioned it to. no biggy as its bit more exciting not knowing but if there is one about.

Finaly im trying to sell my karma manual wheelchair. I was wondering if anyone who is coming to resi was intrested would it be ok for me to bring it or would this not be allowed as it would technically be a sale. Im asking for £250 (was going to give £20 to hmsa) and will give more details if allowed.

They seem very accomodating at the hall so I don't think it will be a problem

Nope we are keeping it a suprise! To be honest we didn't want to give it out in case there were any last minute changes

My first time. Not looking forward to the journey but definately to meeting everyone and introducing my wonderful son. Can any children going spend time outside when we are busy? My son is an avid photographer and wants to try getting wildlife pictures. At 10 is he safe to do this? Got him a mobile so he can keep in touch and he is very grown up.
Mum to son with hms,pain amplification,migraine,plantar fascitis,ibs.lactose intolerant,hayfever and numerous allergies. I have hms,arthritis,migraine,p.o.t.s,allergies,and others too numerous to mention. Acused of being mentally ill hence.....madmum.
