Bathroom ,Bladder and Bash(southwest)

I haven't blogged for ages. been recovering from Nras Lunch and associated extended activities and have been busy at work . was very tired this weekend still.

I'm very excited a young lad came with a bath board and a bath step this afternoon!

any way the step is almost as big as the whole bathroom some i'm using it out side as a step in and out of my small conservatory as it is a big step up and down.. and my mum almost fell up the existing distance sun room when I cooked her sun lunch..after which I

completed and sent off Dla form sun.. but dont expect to be succesful.

My dad is having pre op assessment tomorrow for bladder cancer..(op due july 22nd).

I thinking of holding a possible "bash" I was eying up october but Lyn-w informs me there are some NRAS raise events on in october..

How does a break.. hotel with spa facilites ra/ disabled friendly sound at £44.00 per room B and B) use of spa facilties(free) but beauty treatments/ massages at extra cost approx £25.00 sound?.. Also any one want either 3 course xmas lunch at£15.50 a person this could be a mini pre xmas break(near juntion 11a M5)

Hi Summer. Your suggestions sound lovely. I could do with some pampering but don't know if I could drive that far! Sorry to hear about your dad - extra worry for you. I have had two friends diagnosed recently with bladder cancer and both had ops which were successful.

I had some help from Social Services with handles for doors as we have a steep step outside our kitchen door and I had been holding onto the dishwasher for balance. Not very safe. If you contact them, they could arrange a temporary step for you and some handles in your conservatory entrance. Another friend had a really big step down from his front door and Social Services came and looked at it and put in an extra step for him.

Good luck with the DLA application. I hope you filled it in as at the worst possible day. If I can help with any rejection and appeal, let me know. If you send me a message I can let you have my phone numbers (if I haven't already! I can't remember). LavendarLady xx

Hi Summer,mentioned the idea of the trip to Himself. A bit non committal but I think he would be interested in Spa treatments for himself. Can't do any time in october but November/early December (depending on the weather) would be possible. LavendarLady xx

I would be interested in your spa break (along as I can persuade someone to look after the children). November / early December would be best for me.
