Hi, my name is Vicky and i am a disabled mum to 3 children aged 12, 7 and 6.
I was left disabled 12 years ago after suffering from sudden onset paralysis ( transverse myelitis ).. since my paralysis the council have moved me on a number of occassions to new more suitable properties because the older i get the worse my condition becomes. 2 years ago the council moved me to my current house because it has a bathroom downstairs which would make things easier for me.

Hi everyone, firstly I am new to these forums I have no idea how they work so heres hoping, I am the mother in issue 10 I thought if I could get my story out there I might be able to help someone, by giving hope. Public awareness is very important in this case, I tried before I got my children home, to have people listen to whats happening on a daily basis in the family courts, but noone will listen unless its all over.

I bought my babys travel system from Bebe Amour website, (which doesn't seem to sell buggies, car seats etc anymore)it is made by Bebe Confort, I have tried to contact the aftersales customer care in UK for Bebe Confort but the number no longer works and I have emailed teh company in France.
I had a lot of trouble getting this buggie from the original website being put off with delivery dates and not getting responses from emails, it took about 3 months to get delivered.
Since I have had it (my daughter is 7 months old) I havent had a problem with it but yesterday the collapse button stopped

Hi,
I am new to this so please bear with me, but I would like peoples comments to see whether I am alone on this view.
In October (the day after my birthday) I was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Lukeamia and was told I would be off work for about 6 months. Both myself and my husband have worked full time since leaving school (my husband has 20 years on me) and never claimed benefits.
My employer told me that he will keep my job open but can only pay me ssp.

I recently received a stores own brand toaster as a moving in present, just a cheap item until i could afford better. However, not long after receiving this toaster, i went to use the item one morning only to find that the toasting level could not be depressed for some reason. After closer inspection, i notice that there was a green wire coming out of the level slot inside the toasting space of the toaster. Where i had tried to depress the level the wire had become severed and had blown my electric system in my kitchen.

I recently brought cream cheese from my usual store (name removed). I found a grub or a part of a worm embedded after I consumed some of the product. This caused me to vomit violently and I am unable to eat cream cheese at all. I contacted the shop (name removed) who said they would investigate it. They recently wrote offering me double the refund plus a good will voucher for £5
I am not in the least out to make money, but I feel as though they have not taken this seriously enough. I feel this gesture was inadequate. What do others think? Vicky

hi my sister and her boyfriend went to biringham on the train it cost them 80 pounds. they reserved seats but the seats they reserved had a sign on them sayin not reserved. so they had to sit in diffrent seats. the way back was the same with the seats but instead they had to stand with there luggage for over 45 minuites. it was really bad. the seats said not reserved. my sister wrote to the train company about how bad it was. they replyed and gave her 6percent back (6pounds) and said it was there fault there was an electrical fault. what shall she do 6pound isnt good enough
