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 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.

Aww, that's so sweet apologising, Penny. No need though, we all go through our grumpy stages.
You may have already, but make sure you contact CarersUK (although there are some really good regional ones as well). They give really great advice and support. I was a carer for a family member for years. Sometimes it's so confusing knowing what support you are entitled too or what practical things for the house are available or would be beneficial. Unfortunately carers are always so reluctant to ask for help (me included!), as they feel they are letting their family member down, which is so silly when you're doing so much already. |

David and forgot her name (his wife) want more space so are moving Gail out into the garage/shed.
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. So lovely that you are going to be looking after your mum, our mums are so precious to us, unfortunately mines not here anymore but cherish yours! |

Aren't sarah lou and Bethany staying with Audrey ?
In fact, last week Audrey topped and tailed with Gail at Gail's house. Which I think in fact, is now David's house. How he earns enough to pay a mortgage I'll never know LOL!

What a delightfully funny thread.
I thought at first that 'having the builders in' was a euphemism for ..well you know... I thought why on eart6h is Penny apologising for that. Then as I read down it was like dropping into the soaps forum I don't watch soaps any more but am delighted to know those two up, two down terraces can still hold so many residents. I haven't noticed anything snippy about you Penny. In fact dare I say I the forum generally has been really very pleasant through this series. Odd moments here and there but generally the standard of debate and courtesy has been better than usual I think. Today I posted on a thread where people were saying things like, Oh I am sorry I misinterpreted you or Its lovely to have another point of view (even though I disagree with it ) and lets agree to differ. It will shoot right down hill now I have said that. ![]() Good luck with the building and your mum Penny. x |

What I see is people lying, exaggerating and being rude to defend their opinion based on some futile fandom or a forum allegiance. People simply become too attached to either HMs or FMs. |

Come one, come all, there seems to be ample room.
