Perhaps a stupid question but our air con units have a self cleaning option, the manual tells me how to set it which basically means pressing that particular button, but what it doesn’t tell me is what it actually does. I very much doubt it cleans the filters but maybe it does so can anyone tell me what the self cleaning option actually does clean and is it particularly effective.

Some people really have no idea about COPD and how it affects most sufferers.

Having been seriously ill for the past few months with pneumonia on top of my advanced COPD I’ve either been in hospital or housebound. But this past week I’ve been feeling a lot better so we decided to try going out for the first time in many a week so off to Robinsons. Very easy to access in the wheelchair from the carpark as were Amazon, the ATM and all the other outlets inside so full marks. So we then thought about lunch in one of our regular cafes we used to visit and came to the conclusion that not one of them was wheelchair friendly in the slightest. Most of them had at least 2 steps to climb, when fit and able they pose no problem whatsoever and it never enters your head they they would be a problem but suddenly when even 1 step is your nemesis getting into them becomes a major headache. And even if getting up them it still means leaving the wheelchair outside which isn’t a sensible idea. At one there are no steps but you would need to push the wheelchair over a lot of mini pebbles which isn’t the easiest of things to do. But not one of them has a ramp of any description for people like me. As I say it never enters your head until it does become a problem and then well it means not getting in without a lot of difficulty. I can probably walk 10-20 paces unaided but even just 1 step becomes a major obstacle, it’s not the lifting of the foot but pushing yourself up with other that is. Hopefully in the future I might overcome this but currently there are now a lot of places that are simply unavailable to me and those like me and I would really love to get back into those cafes where we were once regular customers.

I use the same private torrent and it downloads fast and safely. I also have 3 invites I could give away although I would want anyone that I give them to to obey the uploading rules to the letter.

Thanks cdemundo but I already have one but find it helps a little but according to medical friends who know about these things the amount of oxygen produced tends to be heavily diluted unless of course you buy the very expensive ones which are indeed expensive. I have also used and indeed have the oxyplus ones sitting by my side but you cannot regulate the flow at all hence my going for what Ive just purchased.

What absolute nonsense steven100, perhaps you might like to send me a cyanide pill and I’ll put myself out of YOUR misery. Now get back on with your life of misery and I’ll continue trying to get the best out of mine.

Impulse, I’m buying it from an outlet that’s just a few minutes from home and they can also do the refills for me. It’s really just an experiment to see if it will benefit me when out and about, and if so then I can maybe go for a larger cylinder but also the main purpose is to give me breathing relief when I have just walked somewhere and end up gasping for breath.

Thanks again guys, I perhaps should’ve added that the setup does come with a shoulder strap carrier bag and weighs a little over 4kg so perhaps when we hit those promised mid 40’s I’ll simply take it in the malls etc with me.

Thanks muchly lacessit, I will heed your advice.

I have severe breathing problems but do like to get out and about daily - problem being sometimes a few yards will give me issues and others I can manage a few hundred yards before needing a rest. I’ve just ordered a portable oxygen setup to take out in the car with us for use when we walk around the park or other places etc but generally don’t need if I’m going into a mall or cafe as cool and air conditioning certainly eases my breathing. In these instances I will leave the the oxygen cylinder in the car but with the steady rise in temperatures already are they quite safe to leave in the car without causing any issues?

Whenever I contact Santander to transfer to Wise or just to check my accounts they always send me an sms to confirm it’s me if I use a vpn. If not on a vpn then I get connected with no problem so I assume they can detect if a vpn is being used and are just using extra security to check it’s me.

We bought a new car for Christmas and had no interest whatsoever in buying an electric car and my Thai wife for whatever reason will not buy a Chinese one so plumped for a nice Honda ice.

So now you want a refund . You are not a vendor and have a contract with the credit card company, for them to credit your account in the same way your vendor (hospital) was immediately credited , there is a process and the process takes time . Why does it take time? if I paid them immediately why can they not do likewise. I find your explanation unacceptable. There’s been occasions over the years when I get told we cannot repay you until the end of the month - I consider that simply hanging on to your money for the sake of it.

Thanks for all the replies and suggestions, some food for thought. I did consider a rollator some months ago but went for a wheelchair instead but apart from the malls there are limited options for its use. Just like yesterday when visiting a new and still being finished floral park there was absolutely no sign of any facilities at all for anyone other than the fit and able. And is it just here in KPP that both Big C and Robinsons malls while being wheelchair friendly have no sitting areas whatsoever apart from the places to eat of which there are plenty, why not a few seats simply placed around the malls for those that need a rest occasionally.

Totally agree sandyf, at my office last year the boss put a mark on our kr2 and said no longer need to renew every year just continue to use this one.
