Thank you, from her.. She paid for the course at a local college herself by doing chores.
She's now reffed enough matches of the correct sort to be qualified

Probably not in the spirit of mundane news but I can fill this one in. It used to be that a single PoA covered everything, but now there are two PoAs, one covering finance and the other health and welfare. More often than not you’d apply to the Office of the Public Guardian (awesome name) for both.
Along with my mum we have PoA for my dad, who has severe dementia - he’s currently sectioned after “being a pickle” when admitted to hospital after a fall.
You need to apply for a PoA while the person granting the power is deemed to have the mental capacity to make that decision. Leave it too late and you’ll have to apply to the Guardian to approve each and every health or finance related decision, which gets very expensive very quickly. To give a very practical example, Pa B needed new glasses but it was impossible to perform an eye test on him. Really, the opticians learned a valuable lesson. Without my PoA he would have been in limbo, likely specless and effectively blind.
If you have an elderly or vulnerable relative who you feel might need assistance with their finances or health, discuss a PoA now.
This has been a public service announcement.

Snetterton today for the 750 motor club meeting. I didn't bother with the racing, but simply used the place as a free car park (I have a season ticket for the MSV circuits) while I went out into the Norfolk countryside on my bike for a couple of hours.

Yesterday afternoon, a young woman appeared top right on my CC home page. She was called Nicole and she seemed keen to give me a massage at my home or hotel. Did any of you have a similar message? I wouldn't want our appointments to clash.

Yes, the person holding a Power of Attorney is not necessarily the person who will act as Executor of the Will.
In the UK you do not need to use a Solicitor to create a Power of Attorney (Health or Finance). You can download the forms and then get them witnessed.
