    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.

    Gonzo it only my arm that is affected and my balance so it doesn't matter about the size of the cubicle to be honest, i just need a shower instead of the bath cause the bath is a bit dangerous for me to get out of

    The cable has to be run from the front of the house to the back

    well could i suggest having a quick nip to a B&Q/homebase/wickes and see what shower enclosures they have set up and then go and stand in one and close the door, might seem silly but also have a move around inside in ways you might need to when in a shower (maybe not rubbing yourself down ;) ) just to see how well you can use them, they do have 700 square ones but i find them to small for myself, the long ones are usually more narrow but make up for it in lengh

    an no turning this into a sexual comment please ladies :P

    10p per product = £7 a week ~ £28 a month
    20p per product = £14 a week ~ £56 a month
    30p per product = £21 a week ~ £84 a month (or in other words one weeks shoping at the new price)
