Can you not photograph it or maybe you have one already and have someone make you another, adding in to it a piece from the original somewhere

That way it still lives on :cool:

Bit like the brush that has lasted 20 years only had 4 new heads and 2 new handles.

What a lovely idea :T or use the pieces to make something new? I'm not familiar with gardening but if it's made out of wood perhaps a nice frame for a picture of you both?

Flo has your MIL applied for Discretionary Housing Payments (DHP)? Not guaranteed, and short-term, but worth applying for. Quote from Shelter website:

"Each housing/council tax benefit department is given a pot of money each year to help people who qualify for housing or council tax benefit, but are having trouble paying their rent or council tax. The council decides who should be given the payments. When the money for the year runs out, no more payments can be made.
Discretionary housing payments (DHP) may be paid weekly, or can be a lump sum. They can also be backdated."

Hope this helps someone.

Discretionary housing payment is no longer available. I sent off for a form for it at the end of March. When i took in my form i was told it had been replaced by Community sort grant and given another form to fill in. I took this form in on the 2nd of April, I am still waiting to hear from them. I rang last week and was told it has to go through a number of stages and it might be another month before I hear.
I have 1 extra bedroom if you could call it that. It is 7ft by 9ft with the box from the stairs in it. In my nanna's old house she had a cupboard bigger than this the only difference is that hers didn't have a window.
Before we lived in this house I lived in a 1 bedroom flat until my daughter was 4 years old. The reason we got a 3 bedroom house was because there are hardly any 2 bedroom properties in my area. I have lost £14+ per week through this bedroom tax. There are still no 2 bed properties available to rent in council properties so I am stuck with paying the bedroom tax .

Thankyou David for your suggestion that really is a lovely Idea of yours.I do have lots of photoghaphs of the Arbour as it made for a nice setting,the one I love most is of my Dh and me in our wedding attire after we renewed our wedding vows when he got diagnosed as terminal so as you see it really is a very special part of my garden:)

Thankyou for all the hugs and nice comment ,these have really made me feel much better and also being able to express how sad I felt.

CiciK am thinking of you and sending you a hug .

Bubbs you sound like you are all sorted for you hols ,hope your cold is a bit better and you enjoy your break:)

It's a dark miserable evening the sunshine seems to have diappeared but at least its not cold.Just popping out to put some slug pellets out as I noticed several snails lurking :eek:

No-one 'forces' you to listen to anything!:rotfl:
But..then again:

(1) In practice, you are (in effect) forced to, if you are a carer.
(2) We don't know when to stop - due to our inability (similar to blindness/deafness) in seeing body language and also due to your ineffective communication with us as you are transmitting to us in a language ('body language') that we cannot receive*. You need to 'say' something - i.e. spoken words, as body language is not language that 'says' anything to us! (Indeed, I wouldn't have imagined that body language was capable of 'saying' anything at all. Since it never 'said' anything to me. But since becoming aware of my condition I can see now how it could be said to "say" something (i.e. to nearly all people albeit not to myself).)

Okay, this isn't intended to get into a thread of a long series of posts regarding autism.

* Sorry I'm now forcing people to read the post at least twice. But what follows is relevant to the first part of point 2 (up to the *) and not the rest: "I'm sure you'll understand what I'm getting at here and that it's nothing personal:)."

Thank you PM, thankfully this latest episode has just been a blip purely down to a bad reaction to medication. It doesn't seem to have set him back as much as I was worried it would. Onwards and upwards

You're very welcome It's well noted on here that I suffer from MH problems and I have some family members that neither have nor want to understand so I have a lot of time for those who do, even more so for those who support and/or love someone who has MH problems. I'm glad his meds are now sorted and wish you and your family the very best x
