bathroom to wet room progress

It has been a slow time coming with making progress on the bathroom. 

Even this morning it was a huge struggle to help Ruth and out of the bath tub. 

I decided at the weekend, if people won't come to us, I'll go to the companies. We visited 2 companies on Saturday and got a design lay out drawn out. 

However, it turns out there is a real shortage of bathroom fitters. I think they have all become HGV drivers maybe. I had both companies say they couldn't do anything til may/June. As you can see, that I'd far too long to wait and we need to get Ruth her independence back fast. 

I was told to try and put the job out into a place where trades people looked to pick up jobs. With in the day I have a message back from someone who saw the post and the situation we found ourselves in. He realised he wanted to help us and to help Ruth get some sort of normality back for her. I met up with him today and finalised the plans to turn our bathroom into a full on wet room. We only just have the budget in savings to get the work done. But that's what they are there for. (New car/new bathroom/new roof) the usual things. The bonus is, we have the new car and we don't have a roof on the flat so let's go for the bathroom. It will leave the savings empty but Ruths quality of life if the formost of our attentions and getting her to have the independence she craves. 

We thank you for all your prayers and well wishes. Ruth is still very much struggling with times and days and with Christmas coming up and Zeb at home and me at work that may still be an issue going forward. 

Slow time coming but all planned for the wet room to be installed from the 3rd Jan as the company have move things around to help us out as soon possible.

    Just catching up in my dinner break (Thursday)

    Really glad you have got a date for the bath Room and pray that everything runs smoothly.
    It'll be worth it once it's done and Ruth can be more independent again

    Love to you All xxXxx ❤️ Wendy

 looking at the stats of how many people have visited our blog (BECAUSE I am that egotistical!) it would appear that people are expecting an update (we can't see whose been for a look, just how many people) So at long last here it is. I'm trying to think of what we've done since either of us last wrote. We had a hospital appointment last week, and sadly found out that the remaining tumours have grown. Apparently this means there is no point carrying on with the treatment as if it hadn't started to work by now it's not going to and I was having the full whack I could for the kind of tumour. They were saying they want me to have the best quality life I can at the moment, and the treatment did make me fairly ill. On that note we are trying our best to have good family times. When there's time we enjoy a little game together between tea and bedtime. I try to save energy where I can for us to do things at the weekend. We love booking holidays! I am one of those peopl

So it took time to get released from hospital (again) bit we got there and I'm now home and in bed. I can't fault any of the staff at Addenbrookes, they were all great but they were very understaffed and had things they had to be doing so I understand when breakfast either comes really lateor doesn't come at all and when it takes an hour to get a letter printed. They were all really caring and wanted the best fit each of their patients and whether hard for the best for each of their patients. We arrived back in time for Mark to pick Zeb up from Beavers which was a weight off marks mind as he does with about being late. Add I've now had my hug and am in bed smelling sausages cooking as Mark makes his tea, going there might be enough sausage left for a sandwich for breakfast. I did tell them as I left addenbrookes that if I had to stay in hospital again I'd like to stay in Ipswich coz it makes it much easier for us for visitors and having things brought in. All main l

 I'm typing this in my phone n the dark sat in smalls room waiting for him to go to sleep, so expect lots of mistakes living with boys there are plenty of those around here but that's not what I'm in here to talk about. One of my favourite parts of getting ready in the morning is putting a small squirt of perfume on, mostly because I know that the next thing that is likely to happen is small boy give me a hug goodbye And i know that some of the smell will transfer to him so he carries me with him throughout the day. I used to love when that happened with my mum's perfume, it meant if felt a bit lonely during the day or missed her it felt like she was with me, in fact the tale end of her perfume bottle was one thing I hoped would be passed on to me when she died so I could imagine her with me if I needed  We went to bressingham steam museum at the weekend, on one of the train ride we were in the carriage behind the engine, every whistle toot sent a flurry of smoke into o
