and use all the space in your home

We would all like more space in our homes and with houses in the UK getting smaller, space is at a premium. But what if there was an affordable way to create more space in our homes? A simple solution for all those people fed up of living among clutter and one that doesn’t require planning permission or any major structural building work. For most, the loft is a dark and dingy place visited seasonally; once to dig out the Christmas decorations and then again to bring down the holiday suitcases. A precarious scramble across dusty beams, torch in hand; grabbing what’s needed then clambering back past boxes filled with long-forgotten belongings. But that dark and dingy place is worth thousands. In fact, it takes up a third of

the floor space in an average home. So shouldn’t you be making the most of it? And that’s where More Than Loft Ladders (MTLL) comes in. Founded in Bolton over five years ago, MTLL specialises in generating space by making the loft easily accessible. And that’s all it does. It’s not a generic building company, and it’s not jack-of-all-trades. MTLL only installs loft hatches, ladders, boarding, lighting and insulation. It’s what the company does all day, every day, using qualified local installers who are reliable, tidy and efficient. The latest MTLL franchisee to open covers Crewe and Chester and is run by skilled tradesman, Adam Shepherd...“Our average job is about

Here’s a great way to make more storage space...

£290 and only takes a few hours to complete,” says Adam. “And for that, customers get a modern two section aluminium ladder 50sq ft of boarding and a light to make the space safe and secure.” The price customers are quoted is the price they will pay, with no additional call out or credit card charges. “More Than Loft Ladders is already a trusted name in the north west with over 2,500 successful installations, and I really wanted to bring it here to Cheshire...It’s such a great and cost effective way for people to gain the extra space they need,” added Adam.

Living with Dementia Jackie Campion explains what can be done after a diagnosis of dementia A diagnosis of dementia can come as a shock, it could be any type of dementia, such as Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s disease, vascular dementia or mixed dementia. It is a worrying and upsetting time for the person affected and family. However there is much that can be done in the early stages that can help to make life easier and more enjoyable, both now and in the future. If a person has dementia, it is important that they organise their legal and financial affairs while they are still able to do so. There are a number of things that you can do to plan for your care in the future; l Make sure that your essential documents can be found easily. If your important documents such as Wills or property deeds are stored in a Solicitors or Bank make sure they can be obtained easily. l You can decide if you would like to choose someone to manage your finances on your behalf if you are unable to do so in the future, or make important decisions relating to your health and welfare. l Other things you may wish to think about are putting your finances in order and getting a will, or updating any previous will. This allows you to state who you wish to inherit your estate. l A Living Will can ensure that your wishes are taken into account in the future. We have specialist knowledge in all aspects of legal matters that can affect a person with Dementia.

Heswall care home rated ‘good’ A care home in Heswall has been rated as ‘good’ following an unannounced inspection by the official watchdog. The Hazelwell, a luxury ‘all-inclusive’, residential, nursing, palliative and respite care home in Heswall, which caters for 55 residents, opened on Oldfield Road in Heswall less than a year ago. The Care Quality Commission, the independent regulator of all health and social services in England, rated the The Hazelwell as ‘good’ for providing a service that was ‘safe, effective, caring, responsive and well-led’. It found that the home was ‘clean, well-maintained and records showed that regular health and safety checks were carried out’. The CQC report also stated that ‘all areas were furnished and decorated to a very high standard and people had a choice of comfortable sitting areas both indoors and outdoors’ and ‘medicines were managed safely and records confirmed that people always received the medication prescribed by the doctor’.

Representatives from the CQC chatted with residents, family members and reviewed individual care plans. They also spoke with staff and Liza Millington, care home manager at The Hazelwell, who was commended for her role at the home. The report read: “Residents were very happy with their meals and told us that choices were always available. The members of staff we spoke with had good knowledge of the support needs of the people who lived at the home. “The staff we met had a cheerful and caring manner and they treated people with respect. People who lived at the home and, visitors who we spoke with, expressed their satisfaction with the care provided and with the staff. “The care plans we looked at gave information about people’s care needs and how their needs were met. They also gave detailed information about people’s individual choices and preferences. There was a friendly, open and inclusive culture in the home.”

Liza Millington, The Hazelwell care home manager, with 101-yearold resident Bernice Quail, who opened the recent Garden Fete at The Hazelwell.

Heswall Local July 2017

Life’s a beach for saddle sore Tablers Keen cyclists from Heswall Round Table took part in the Coast To Coast bike ride in aid of the fantastic Wirral charity Tomorrow’s Women. The challenge saw a large group of riders pedalling their way from the west coast to the east, tackling mountains, trails, roads and public houses as they went. Supported by backup crew of three drivers and make-shift bike mechanics, the lycra army certainly had their work cut out, but they were driven on by kind donations to the cause. Tomorrow’s Women Wirral is a charity that provides females with a safe environment where they can address their issues to help lead a happier, healthier, fuller lifestyle to be all they want to be. The riders are pictured at the finish.

Bathroom

Well known and respected local bathroom and wetroom experts, Wirral Wetrooms have announced a massive quarter of a million pound investment and expansion project. Pulling on their industry leading design skills and extensive experience, the team have planned a show-stopping new look that is set to revolutionise their Irby showroom.

The first phase of the expansion to their upstairs showroom has begun with renovations to incorporate fully functional bathrooms settings including 10 operational showers and 12 working basins and taps all with the latest digital technology. Added to this under floor heating and a working sauna so clients can really ‘soak up’ the full Wirral Wetrooms offering.

And you can even spend-a penny by sampling the fabulous new Geberit Aquaclean! Finally, complete the picture by choosing from a selection of their stunning tiles and you really be able to create a ‘tried and tested’ space to be proud of.

Dave commented “We recognised Irby as a great place to stay and grow in, we like the space we are in. We’ve taken on 2 apprentices and making this significant investment into the building can only improve it.” “Our new showroom will be completely unique for the Wirral, and will revolutionise the experience of buying a new bathroom for our customers. We want nothing more than people to come in and try them out for themselves, even down to taking your shoes off and feel the under floor heating, you can even take a shower if you are game, we don’t mind!”

you can easily upgrade your existing loo. They all include an oscillating shower with forward and backwards movement, air purification and a warm air dryer. The Geberit AquaClean range is comfortable and stylish too. And with a model to suit every style of home, it would make a perfect addition to your new spa-like bathroom.

Q I’m really interested in buying a Geberit toilet with a spray function, but I have heard they’re very expensive. Are there any more affordable alternatives?

Dave and the team have always supported the local community in Irby and the surrounding areas, and played a part in the life and soul of the village and love being there,

And with service and quality and experience that is second to none, your will be sure to find your slice of Bathroom Bliss, right here in the heart of Irby.

A You don’t have to spend a vast amount of money to purchase a Geberit toilet. There are also less expensive models in the range such as the Geberit AquaClean 4000. This compact loo seat is designed to replace your existing loo seat and is straightforward to install, as it fits on the existing seat.

Q Should I be concerned about how much water is used in spray-function toilets? A The Geberit AquaClean 4000 only uses 400ml of water at each use, and although this is more than a normal loo, there are positive environmental aspects to this choice, such as using less toilet paper. Water, chemicals and other raw materials are wasted in the production of toilet paper, and while it’s biodegradable, the process still leaves chemical traces in our water supply.

Heart of Irby Village

CRICKET, LUVLY CRICKET A true story by Gayton’s John Fowler

irst game of the season—looking forward to it all winter---net practice indoors, bit of running (well let`s not go overboard, a few walks around the block), cannot wait to get started. All preparation completed. We are away from home, but eager to play at a ground where I had scored my one and only century (had to get that in). It`s a one and a half hour stressful drive away via the city, so leave at 12noon for the 2pm start. Always like plenty of time to prepare for the game. Hated being late. Thinking about the game on the way—“Keep your eye in the ball,” I keep telling myself. Drivers at traffic lights stare at me strangely so I pretend I am singing along to my favourite song. Some people say I take this game too seriously. (Just because I slept with my bat, and that is not a euphemism for her indoors.) We all arrive early to get acclimatised, inspect the wicket, catching practice, and a few loosening up exercises. Skipper loses the toss, and indicates from the Square, to me and my opening partner to get the pads on. The butterflies in my stomach start to get nervous. I never like to rush getting ready—“failure to prepare, prepare to fail”-all my kit has been checked and renewed for the season. It was a ritual, with every item put on in sequence--- tuck trousers into my socks, as I did not like them fluttering around the bottom of my pads, thigh pad tied around my leg and tested for comfort, left pad on first, then the right, bend legs to feel everything is satisfactory, arm guard on left arm (something that I probably didn`t need but felt naked without it), helmet placed carefully on head and strapped on correctly, gloves, and finally, pick up bat. Last visit to toilet and then make sure protective box is comfortably in place. An astronaut would be quicker getting ready. Out of the dressing room onto the pitch. Opening partner has been out for a while, waiting patiently. He knows what I am like. Just a few throw downs, to feel the ball on the bat. A number of forward defensive strokes. The fielders are waiting—we walk out. “Good luck Boys, play yourselves in.” I feel confident, no nerves, look around the field as if I knew what I was doing. The opposition are shouting encouragement to each other---“Come on lads”, “On your toes” “This guy`s too fat to run” the usual cries, that epitomize true British sportsmanship. “Two please, Ump.” Mark my guard, walk down the pitch, give it a few taps. Say to myself, “Play straight, and leave the ball if off the wicket.” Bowler is back to his mark. Umpire shouts:“PLAY.” It is five past two, and I am sitting in the dressing room all alone, saying “gosh and fiddlesticks”. If I was a bat thrower, I would have hurled my bat with gusto (if he had been there). If only we had a “Snickometer” in amateur cricket. I am sure I never nicked it... Found out later the umpire was the bowler`s father (probably never married the mother). I`m just saying......
