My missing anti tip has taken its first victim! I went to the boys house and the one lad asked me to show his mrs my wheelie so I duly did my super wheelie before lining myself up against the sofa to transfer on to it. The wooden floor does no favours so I asked my lad to hold my chair while I did my stuff and the wheelchair was soon liberated by the same lad who saw my very big wheelie so really he should've known better when he flicked the wheels. I heard a huge bang and laughter and there he was sprawled on the floor, the wheelchair upside down beside him haha!

Yesterday was a packed day. I got up and washed my hair before washing my face and brushing my teeth. I religiously moisturise as I get dry patches plus I feel it helps prevent aging which is great seeing as I like to undo that by using sunbeds! I put my wheelchair at a 45 degree angle to my toilet chair and lifted over to do my catheter and have a wash then expertly popped myself back into my chair, adjusted my feet and went to my bedroom where I plopped onto the bed and wiggled into a little polka dot skirt and white vest. I blow dried my hair and wheeled into the kitchen to have some cereal. I told my lad we would be leaving soon and did my makeup then curled my hair with a wonderful new curling wand sent to me by a friend in America.
When I was done we went to the car where I pulled alongside the driver's seat and used the slide board to get into my seat. I pulled the seat forward using the steering wheel, adjusted my legs and wiggled into a comfy position while my lad put my chair in the boot and we went to his so he could bath and shave. While he was busy I popped to the local supermarket and then waited in the car til he was done.
On arrival to Cardiff Bay we looked in a steak place for food but it was quite pricey so we drove to the car park closer to the Bay and looked at all the menus outside all the restaurants til I saw one I fancied and we went in. We asked for directions to a venue and made our way there to find it was upstairs with an elevator. We waited outside til the doors opened and we were shown to the disabled seating. The room filled and eventually the show started with a young man in Victorian ringmaster attire without the hat. He entertained us with mild humour and a song before introducing a beautiful singer, a group of ladies performing entertaining burlesque and a lady who performed classy strip tease, not to nudity. All in all it was a good night. On the way back to the car I didn't see the half circle drainage bit of the pavement and I almost flung myself out of my chair! Thankfully there was a bollard right in front of me and I instinctively reached for it and saved the drama! We drove home the scenic route and had a lazy day today.
