I feel I should apologise.
I have been a bit snippy of late (even more snippy than usual).
I do apologise - got workman in - now going into third week of crash, bang wallop - (a garage conversion). It just struck me that I have been a bit short. Seriously - if I have offended - I apologise. Signed: Grumpy Old Lady xx |

That very nice of you Penny. Can't say I've seen you behave any worse than anyone else here but if you think it's needed, then that's gracious of you.

If Austin repeats your apology verbatim in the next few days I will never forgive you.

Ah Penny, you looking after your mum?

ROFL - the plumber has just this minute left - unfortunately the wet room isn't finished - hopefully Friday - we could all do the wrap party in there.
![]() I'm interested because I'm seeing a trend of media portraying adult children taking their parents into their homes, which has been decreasing in popularity since the 70's. |

Are you having her come to live with you?
Is that what Gail is doing? The Corrie houses are seriously deceiving - in that house there's David/wife/max/lily/Gail/Sara Lou and Bethany - where do they all sleep. ' As for Eileen's house it's like a tardis. |

Is the wet room for your mum?
I'm interested because I'm seeing a trend of media portraying adult children taking their parents into their homes, which has been decreasing in popularity since the 70's. As a family we have always 'looked after our elderly' - my mum lived next door to her parents and elderly aunts and uncles were all near by and taken care of. It's only fair that we take good care of her now - I know not everyone can do it - we are very lucky to be in the position to do so. I'm sure lots want to but it's not always easy to do. |

I haven't noticed you being snippy at all. I think it's great what you're doing and hope it all goes well.

Yes. We are making the garage into a bed/sitting room the utility room has been cut down in size and the downstairs toilet made bigger into a wet room. All one level with sliding doors for wheelchair access (not needed at the mo but might need it later). The garage is integral so she has her own 'wing' but can still be part of the main house - great for when the family come and visit.

As families are more disparate it's less common. I wonder if the government aren't trying to encourage it more to reduce the burden on social housing and care homes. Anyway, it's very good of you. Good luck ![]() PS I'm snappy all the time, I don't apologise as mostly it's because people say dumb things. |
