    Making the briefest of stopovers. Drtifosi is in hospital so not at home much at the moment. He is recovering well and his mum is home following her unexpected surgery, so thankfully not going from one hospital to another.

    Oh, and my parents have finally got their new dog - and it is a very laid back and lovely temperament lurcher.
    Please stay safe in the sun and learn the A-E of melanoma: A = asymmetry, B = irregular borders, C= different colours, D= diameter, larger than 6mm, E = evolving, is your mole changing? Most moles are not cancerous, any doubts, please check next time you visit your GP.

    Also thinking of you - hopefully the NHS will have sorted out the ongoing problems and made things better.
    I think....

    Seems to be plenty of 1700 x 900 baths online, or 850x1750 like this one...

    http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BALMORAL-Designer-Free-Standing-Bath-850-x-1750mm-/160670179693

    Is there a way to adjust the surrounding room to make something close fit?

    I would have thought a skilled (nice) chippie could set that in a 'worktop' and stick a panel on the front to make it effectively a built in rectangular bath Although with this one being 1850 wide already by the time you added a worktop it would probably be 880/900 overall width.
    I think....

    When it comes to lamps I always wonder how you/they know that something's fire safe.... using glue and the bits either of those could catch light.

    That's why they're made with LED lights - they don't get hot.

    Best wishes to all the tifosi family. Hope he continues getting better. :)
    Do you know anyone who's bereaved? Point them to https://www.AtaLoss.org which does for bereavement support what MSE does for financial services, providing links to support organisations relevant to the circumstances of the loss & the local area. (Link permitted by forum team)
    Tyre performance in the wet deteriorates rapidly below about 3mm tread - change yours when they get dangerous, not just when they are nearly illegal (1.6mm).
    Oh, and wear your seatbelt. My kids are only alive because they were wearing theirs when somebody else was driving in wet weather with worn tyres.

    :D

    I have my uses....

    But back on topic, I've googled the crap out of it tonight and you're right, there's almost nothing.

    Best bet is probably to order one custom made.

    These guys will make on to your size...

    I absolutely adore that idea. Without doubt the best aesthetic solution.

    I just don't think we can afford it. The bill for the structural work is not small (don't thin k its fair to the doozers to discuss how not small here). Now I've seen that nothing else will be half as nice :(. The wet room floor could have been in that too, matching better than my plan. Poop poop poop. :o

    Thanks Hamish...that would have been a beautiful, beautiful solution. :):T.

    Hope all goes well for the recovering Tiflisi family members. And welcome Tiflisi dog!
