They aren't my ducklings
The mother is still sitting on the nest (of about 6 eggs) although I don't have much hope for them as it's been over 28 days and they felt cold when I had a quick look this morning.

Well we actually went out and looked at Caravans today. Not only did I learn a lot including that @Fab Foodie Dacia can only two a lightweight caravan as it's a very light car but I am not sure there is anything that you cannot have in a caravan.
Anyhoo we did find a nice second hand 2berth one so we are weighing it all up so to speak.
Dear god no. Where's a gun when you need one?

Papering a now finished, I'll give it a couple of days then get the emulsioning done, and once that's done I can start sorting out the new carpet and curtains.

Neat
Bargainous chocolate is a good thing. 
Alas, the Tesco here must have cleared up all the Easter chocs on Friday night. There were none when I went Saturday.
That is, except for one very broken Thorntons egg in the clearance bin that only had 50p marked off it. Today the packaging was still in the clearance bin, but the chocolate had been eaten...

In a similar vein, I have been given a packet of four hot cross buns, that were on a yellow sticky in Asda.

Good hunting in Tesco this afternoon. 
I thought it would be a total bun fight today seeings that no one turned up to yellow sticker on Saturday night and they were shut yesterday, but no one turned up today either...
Once again had first dibs on everything; it was all beef, gammon, fish and cream cakes as opposed to Saturday's cooked meat, prawns, ready meals and salads. Now I've got to go and play tetris in the freezer in the morning...
Best buy was an aberdeen angus beef joint marked down from £28 to £5...
And I got two trays of free range chicken breast mini fillets for the girls at 80p for a 400g tray.

I'm sorry to hear about your mother's accident.I am not sure if your post is a serious one.
My mother has a stairlift, so the below comments apply to her model of stairlift. Other stairlifts may be available.
You can stop it halfway, or even near the bottom or top of the stairs. You do have to be very careful that you are at the bottom or the top before attempting to disembark. My mother got confused and thought it was at the bottom, but it wasn't and she got off the chair and fell down the last three steps. She broke her collarbone and three ribs, and lay in a heap at the bottom of the stairs until a neighbour popped round. My mother has one of those alarm call "watch", but it was in the bathroom, upstairs, and not on her wrist.
Also the battery mechanism only engages when the chair is connected to the "base" at one end or the other. If you forget this, and then there is a power cut, when the battery is low, then you are somewhat in the poop. The battery knows how much power it needs, and will not set off up or down if the battery power is very low.
As you suspected I am rarely serious, it was from just watching an actor gliding smoothly up the stairs that made me wonder what would happen if it went wrong.
It would appear from the comments that they can have problems which I was unaware of.
Before we moved into our present house there was one mounted to the wall, I mean the rack mechanism and electric cabling was still there, I couldn't think of a use for it at the time so the previous owner removed it.
