@Mo1959 , I am shocked !

Maybe she should sail to France then come back as an illegal immigrant.......she may get more that way .
Paid in since I was 15 but had ZERO help or advice since these problems.

Probably best if you simply sail to France and live there. 😀

Seriously though Citizens advice should be your first port of call , they were very helpful when I had to sort out my mum’s benefits. ( if they don’t know they will point you to someone that does).
Then Social services , my experience with them has been always good( I know that’s not always the case ) , they always did all they could for my mum. The problems normally start once you get to government level . 😕

Today was a day that didn't quite go to plan but was very pleasant anyway. My Good Ladies carer was late this morning, she arrived at nine instead of half seven, which scuppered my plan for an early bike ride . So we brought our afternoon visit to Jubilee Crescent forward and included a stop at Jubilee Junction for a spot of lunch, I spent the afternoon doing the ironing, I watched the F1 qualifying highlights then listened to Credence Clearwater Revival album whilst I did it.

My boys won 3-0 and played very, very good football. I am VERY happy with this.

So packing. I had a list. I packed it all. Suitcase is half full and weighs 16.3kg including a bottle of single malt for a friend. I have to put my suit in, well it is a "suit"case, and I'm done. Flight is 08.40am Tuesday!! Impressed? I am. Mrs P hasn't started yet.

Speaking of Mrs P. She hasn't come home yet. I want my tea. It's almost ready and I'm waiting patiently........

I have gin though

[welsh dragon]

Stay safe peeps

Morning. I went out early in the dark for a run. Head torch required. The legs really didn't want to co-operate but managed a slow 4 miles. I'll have a nice steep in the bath now before my porridge.

We have heavy due this afternoon so a siesta might be tempting.

Good morning people, the weathers bright, cool and a lot calmer today, carers here.

Morning all

A bit more trailer fettling this morning, then a stroll down to Hang Loose restaurant and bar for Sunday lunch.
