How embarrasing for your family to think you were a secret Land Rover lover...

This made me chuckle.

On a more serious note, November is the month of WillAid whereby a solicitor makes your will for a charitable contribution. I think at 50 it's probably time we went to get ours sorted.

Thanks for the heads-up Rustic

Take care,

Ian

We though we would replace our bed, so instead of a 5' King Size double that we currently have, we decided to go for a 6' super king, but as my wife and I figit a lot... this clearly disturbs the other, so we went into one shop and on show were electrically operated beds, it meant I wouldn't need my V cushions or the wife, cushions under her legs, as both ends of the bed adjust.
So we ordered 2x 3 foot beds, and clips that lock them together, so we have a 6 foot wide bed, on order, we will buy a super king size duvet. So from inside, and from the outside... it is just one huge bed.

Now here is the reason for my post... as this bed is used for people for medical reasons, it is possible to buy it without Vat. A simple self declaration, and my recently diagnosed condition is covered. So... it's something that you may not have considered.

me thinks you should have got a water bed, had one for over 30 years, as a back sufferer without it I would find it hard to sleep, as for figiting you can get them with separate mattresses in one bed and as they are heated she can have a different temperature to you, one duvet summer/winter as they are thermostatically controlled and when you take the covers off once a week you will be amassed at the skin scales that have accumulated, easily wiped of with a damp cloth, but on a normal mattress go into it to provide food for whatever, so in my book they win hands down, Rick

I had a will drawn up some time ago, & haven't really looked at land rover mags since school.
Went to a deceased engineers auction a few years ago & it was really sad to see every thing being sold in a very unorganised way, the auctioneer didn't even know what he was selling with half of the lots.

like I said
