Yes Clare I also ask for it to be cut up but I use my fingers if needed. I hate it when your out and you try to do the right thing. But I think there's nothing worse than putting your fork into your meal about ten times and nothing on the end. That gets me mad and that's where the fingers come in.But the secret for me is to see the funny side of things, it does wonders for me. There's always a funny side to things if you look for it. When I lost my sight I just thought well that's it. lets get on with it and treat it as a challenge. Like all you girls that are after my cheeks,if it makes you happy then it makes me happy. Bring it on girls. Hahahahahahehehehehahahaha. love you all. Malcolm.
