Hi Rosie,

What a predicament. Student boys? Why am I not surprised? Well. I think I'd tell *them* to find you either someone who can fix the chair in time, or someone who can transport you and your wheelchair back home - Essex, is it? - far but not too far. If one of them has a car, that would work - too bad he'd have to miss college, but something's got to be done.

I suppose you could try to borrow a chair (from student health clinic or somewhere like that) but it's obvious that your trip involves not just you physically, but the chair itself. Nah, get one of them to borrow, beg or steal a vehicle to take you home in.

Sorry you've been low again - I don't expect this helped - I'm sure a long trip ain't gonna help either! Still, it's got to be done...yes, rope those boys in on the problem....call it a lesson in logistics...it's the least they can do.

Take care, let us know what happens,
all the best
