The tyre on the small front wheels of our wheelchair have split so we cannot use. Have been trying to find someone/firm to repair this. Most of the mobility shops seem to sell scooters rather than chairs. It is a non NHS chair, old but in otherwise reasonable condition. It is an 'emergency use' chair and has been used by family members with reduced outdoor mobility. It also folds up well to put into boot of car.

At the worse possible scenario will have to purchase a new one but will have to try out to ensure it fits in boot.

Have found one place in Hertfordshire who do repairs but they require over ?70 just to visit without labour and parts charges.

Have borrowed a wheelchair for a few days but it is not 'car friendly'.

- Missing cat

  I'm so sorry to hear Bean hasn't returned home. It hasn't been a particularly good day for weather, so I do hope she's just sheltering nearby until the rain settles down. Are there any renovations/construction sites nearby? In the meantime, notify your street & surrounding area (many have Whatsapp groups) Where are you located? Hopefully it doesn't come to this, but just in case, Dox will print & deliver 50 free missing posters https://www.doxdirect.com/help/free-missing-pet-posters/ Try calling for her this evening & early hours of the morning when street & foot traffic is at its lowest (in case she's found herself out front). Often times, when it comes to unusual disappearances, it's neighbouring renovations, general construction work, fireworks or weather that sends them into hiding. They can end up finding themselves in unfamiliar places. Is Bean microchipped? Our team carry scanners on our daily routes & will keep a look out for her. I hope you are reunited with Bean soon.

  The fact that some people in England seem to be narrowly focussed on the eejit that is mandelson whilst ignoring the real villains in the whole Epstein thing is… revealing and those villains are lauded and unaffected

  Our beloved cat Bean is missing - last seen heading outside in the early hours of this morning (Weds 18 Feb). She doesn’t usually stay out long or stray far from the garden. She is always home for breakfast and usually sleeps inside all day, so we’re very worried about her. Please let me know if you see her. Thank you
