  1. @tredders @TorturedSaints 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 ha - loopholed that old “like” button thing
  2. We did a charity walk for a family who’s child has similar condition to Iris - their local council wouldn’t provide a wheelchair for their kid. The chair was £650, think we got them £2000 in the end. For Iris’ ward at RMCH we did another thing - that went on until we donated/closed. think that was £1200.
  3. There are some out there…my eldest daughter filmed this at a gig… 14ec16c6-85c1-4f2b-950d-f7a9903f7d69.mov
  4. One is apparently worth a few quid… Will set about that in the next week
  5. I’ve just spoke to bathroom guy…I suspect that anything not screwed to the floor in the house will be available…And he’s a bloody family member doing mates rates… Star Wars Helmets up soon…2 Yorkshire Terriers, Vinyls, DVDs, Blu Rays - Moderately used and knackered 40 year old bass player (87% battery life left) Honestly guys - blown away.
  6. I cannot get my words together; what a place to be. from the bottom of my heart. Thank you.
  7. It’s certainly going to dent it - we’re lucky that 6 years ago we got the house at a decent price…but the area has had a massive upswing; in theory great for us- but also means if we stay within a few miles (iris’ (mainstream) school is fantastic for her and we cannot take her elsewhere as she’s settled and her SENDCo and TA know everything about her…we actually can’t afford to buy a bigger/better suited house. In an ideal world - I’d get a bungalow…but they don’t seem to exist in our area with more than 2 bedrooms. I’d love to buy a field and build…but we don’t have that kind of money…
  8. I’ve just sent chapter and verse to @Clarky - my head has well and truly fallen off. I am humbled and so grateful. The gear sale may have to continue as there’s a lot of work to do (detailed in my essay to Clarky) - basically to make the thing work in its entirety, we have to lose the family living room and move the kitchen… Iris will get her statutory grant - not anything like enough to follow the original plans of her own space; we will make it work somehow. We could do a massive remortgage, but in a world where our mortgage payments went up about 25% last year - we cannot financially do it. We cannot relocate as we rely heavily on our family network for her appointments and the other kids too. They did say there was a relocation Grant available…then told us the rules changed…because we work. 😒 My original idea of winning the lottery hasn’t quite worked as I’d planned… What I do know is this…you’re all absolutely feckin brilliant.
  9. She doesn’t at the moment…she’s too busy ramp jumping 😂 thank you though mate x
