Ah Roger it's all a front really. See I've got a broom sticking out the back of my jeans and it does everything as I go round (smiles). I'm not superwoman for nothing, and if anyone believes that then they aren't on the same planet as me.
Many thanks, but I only need a few hours kip, so a lot of writing and stuff gets done while the Ians snore like a couple of babes. And anything to combat pain is worth battling trust me.
Now go and attend to that Dundee cake while your wife's out and have the tea ready for when she gets back. And do the washing up while you're at it. That's another luxury I don't have (haha).

Well this beats everything! Jackie finds time with all of this to also do a journalism course, write articles for various magazines, act as a volunteer at her local blind society, visit Italian restaurants, write reviews on new equipment, visit luxury hotels in the country, spend untold hours reading and writing emails to this list.I do not have the time for most of these activities as I'm far too busy doing the cooking and washing up - (turn the violins up please, this is my big moment here) The slave driver, sorry, wife, left me orders to make a bacon suet pudding for lunch and a Dundee cake this morning before she returns at 3.30 this afternoon. In a state of near exhaustion I'm taking a breather before resuming to clear a mountain of washing up. Courses? Volunteering? Writing? Chance would be a fine thing!!!!!Only joking Jackie. Good luck with your hospital visit and regale us with your experiences on your return.Roger Some mistakes are too much fun to only make once.----- Original Message ----- From: "Jackie Cairns" <cairnsplace@xxxxxxx>To: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Monday, November 12, 2007 5:08 PM Subject: [access-uk] Re: Hotels for the blindDon't know where you get your info from Andy (smiles), but I'll put you right (big grin). I am chief cook, bottle-washer, skivvy, doormat, mother to husband and son, and anything else not so complimentary you could wish to name. Nobody looks after poor old me except me. (grin).That's why I enjoyed Old Pines, because Ken and Imogen took pity on me and looked after me (smiles).Jackie----- Original Message ----- From: "andrew shipp" <andrew-shipp4@xxxxxxxxxxxx>To: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Monday, November 12, 2007 4:42 PM Subject: [access-uk] Re: Hotels for the blindHi Jackie, I thought it was Ian doing all that for you, I know how you liked to be looked after/ <smiles>Regards Andy Shipp & Trafford my new best friend.

I'm sure they used to advertise in New Beacon or NB as it's daftly named these days.If you ever work your way north to Scotland, I could recommend a cracking hotel that isn't specifically for blind people, but which is so blind friendly to get round it's sensational.
