Tips and tricks that may be useful

I Thought I'd share a couple of tips as some may find useful.

Sticky Gel Pads (AMazon) -- I'm allways bashing my coffee table with my wheeelchair and my drink spills on the floor. Usually it's full ! Use a sticky Gel Pad as a coaster and no more spillage. THese are very sticky and can be recharged by washing. Use them for all kinds of things like stick a phone to car dash, plug extension to the wall, remote control to your wheelchair, torch to wheelchair, anything off the floor to a good height for you, anything you don't want moving i.e. Powerchair charger, wheelchair cushion,

Zip Tye (ebay Amazon £1 shop) - great for attaching to your zipper so you can get hold of the thing ! Helps to keep cables tidy too.
