Has anyone had any success getting a seatbelt exemption certificate? My wife has chronic pain that prevents her sitting for long and as a consequence often travels lying down on the back seat of the car, Yes I know that's not a good idea. I've approached her gp who says they no longer issue the cert...

Just a thought.... Why don't they ask about house cleaning, washing, ironing, gardening, dog walking, house maintenance, Tesco shopping etc? Maybe they could enquire who does these jobs and then perhaps ask how that person copes and whether they could do with a bit of help. Maybe they think the care...

Hmmm, I've just seen this post that I made last year seeking a small donation to help me raise money for the National Autistic Society. It didn't work very well did it? No donations! I spite of this I've now raised almost £5000 for the NAS to help them support people like my son. In addition to bein...

Hi, I'm raising funds for the National Autistic Society and want to try an experiment. My son, Russell, was on the aspergers spectrum and worked hard all through his school life to achieve his best in spite of general lack of knowledge by his teachers and peers about his condition. He didn't want to...
