I'm not able to lift and carry things that are much bigger than a bin bag either, so for example if I wanted a new desk. Getting rid of the current one and getting a new one up my stairs is impossible unless someone helps, which to be honest nobody apart from my father is ever willing to do, and he's a busy man anyway so I don't really bother asking. I get no official help, don't think i'm entitled to it.

Do you not have something like WECIL in your area ? My daughter works for them locally and she has helped a lot of people i know with these sort of problems - WECIL is a registered charity in England and Wales - which is where you live i think, have a look on line for them - I think you probably qualify for help< they have recently been challenged with finding funding but comic relief etc.. support the charity a lot. Please let me know if there is anything i can ask my daughter for you - she's great for getting you in touch with the right people.
