[slinky.kate]

i want to go swimming and i have no one to take me,if i go i will have to phone a taxi and it will cost me £8 each way.

[ummmm]

Can you not get a bus?

[sandyRoe]

Kate, it costs me £6 each way taxi fare to go shopping now.

[ummmm]

Food shopping, Sandy? Can you not get it delivered?

[sandyRoe]

It's a bit of a run out for us.

[slinky.kate]

[excelsior-1]

[slinky.kate]

Are there no volunteer drivers or community minibuses doing anything like that in your area,it might be worthwhile looking into it,as you seem very disappointed!

[vodkancoke]

Oh slinky, I'm in Edinburgh today and not in Glasgow until later tonight or I would have offered to take you :(
Have you no friends nearby who could drop you off on their way out?

[slinky.kate]

everyone here works,son has my mobility car but he has an important appointment at lunch time,never mind,i can always go on ebay and buy myself something nice.

^^ Don't spend more than £16 on there Kate! Otherwise you could have gone swimming :-)

[echokilo]

I onlylive a short distance from mytown pool, but usually rely on lifts to and fro as it's expensive to park the car or use the bus each way. Without a lift it costs me £7.65!! As I am trying to swim 3x or more a week, it soo adds up and is not viable - so I feel your pain!

Kate, your son is not allowed to use your mobility car unless he is running errands for you.

[slinky.kate]

he isnt using it,he has an appointment and cant get up for me

[hc4361]

Ooops, sorry.

[Smowball]

Whereabouts in Cambs Excelsior?

Desky, isn't your old man a taxi driver?
