QI really need a mobility scooter, but my funds are limited. Can I get a one through the NHS?

N Jensen, by email Yours says The NHS will not be able to provide you with a mobility scooter, but you will find details of charities that can help pay towards a scooter at www.bettermobility. co.uk. If you receive benefits, you may be eligible to hire or buy one through the Motability Scheme.

QMy new home has a solid fence, but my little dog misses being able to see passersby and has started barking a lot. Short of making a hole in the fence, how can I keep him safe and happy?

Yours says These acrylic bubbles can be placed at the right height for your dog, helping to alleviate stress by enabling them to see through brick and wooden fences safely.
