    Hi Lulu

    Well did look into it and it was still going to be over £100.00 even with concessions and that was last year when my knee was just going bad....I could no longer go to my local college and negiotiate stairs (they dont have lifts)

    elaine, cebeem's song for you is on the karaoke thread on chitchat, not youtube. I don't know what it is tho - I'm revving up for my next performance! I have massacred Annie Lennox and Marlene Dietrich, I'll target Julie London now. DD

    Collages are well used to disabled students and will help you all they can Elaine. I don't usually say much about myself but I would like to help you.- On my 40th birthday I had been out of work 3 years with RA I had a really bad 2 years with it, I lived alone having lost both parents so was totally responsible for my own life. I started to feel better and knew I had to get out of that big hole, I went to collage on a free 15 hr. 36 week IT course, till then I had never even sat at a computer but I worked hard and did well,I also got ECDL. And have never looked back. I was not well I struggled but I got out of that hole.

    Please Elaine you are obviously not happy and life could be so good even with arthritis.
    Good luck Elaine

    I know you are trying to help and its nice....People keep telling me ive got so much to be appreciative for and that i have things others dont but when you feel like i do that means tiddly squat.
    My life has changed so much i dont think id even recognise me if i was an old schoolmate........And everyone (dont meqn you) is full of wonderful suggestions and what can be done etc...They are often the people who have no idea what theyre talking about....
    Theres a lot of factors behind my mood, not just my leg.....But the last thing i want to do is celebrate...Or go somewhere where im a hinderance. Im not so bad that i cant feel empathy or see that others such as you were worse off but i dont feel much better...Im hoping it will lift......

    Elaine you dont have to listen to the link. Come and chat anyway as it is nice to have company with peeps in similar position.
    I just hope your meds can be sorted out so the pain is reduced.I never thought I would get better but I did-a limited version but better than nothing.
    I also get overtaken by peeps much older than me. They are up the top of the road before Im halfway.Once a little old lady, hunched over overtook me and I just burst out laughing and my OH, waiting for me in the car found it funny too!


    Take care

    Hi Elizabeth

    Well like I said on our computer you cant use msn or anything like that at all, we had a few trojan viruses a bit ago and we got a Kaspersky system recommended, its like Fort Knox now!!!
    My meds are just co-proxamol which are mild painkillers but to get stronger ones they say ive got to take maximum (ie 8 a day) and if i did i dont think id be alive!!!
    That must be funny when you get overtaken by OAP's!! But when i complain my leg is bad I get told by my folks that im lucky to be young and not as bad as them (they are nearly 80) but truth is my leg is about 60+years in age I reckon so im not that far off!!
