This morning I asked the life skills if I could go to Morrisons. They said I could go on Friday to buy a Pizza and a curry to cook. They said I have not to buy too much because I am taking a lot of room in the freezer ! Also I sent details of my family tree to my sons. It goes back to the early 1800s. I'm still trying to find where my dead body goes because I want to donate it to medical research. So far I've got the website of HTA.
