Subject: Grabber

Hi everyone!

Ive decidied to try and accept that I can't touch the floor and have invested in a grabber. Ive desperately not wanted to use one but I get so frustrated when my bf isn't home and I can't reach things. I treated myself to a sexy pink one (lol) so should be arriving in the next couple of days!
Anyone else use one?

Hi Verity I have just had a hip replacement and brought a grabber I had great fun with it for a whole day then leaned on it and one of the claws snapped! drat will need another, sexy pink sounds like a nicer option so may get one of those lol.

Hi Verity,
I have one at work that I use and am going to invest in one for home as i'm like you having to rely on bf and son to pick things up off the floor for me....it seems reaching the floor has gradually got worse.

Could I ask if anybody has anything that helps with shoes and socks as I cant get mine on at all and its so frustrating.

Thanks all

Lucy x
