social worker coming back out today to see how she's getting on so we shall see what happens. I've been told if she threatens suicide again last Sunday where she stormed out the house to walk down to the river to drown herself then she will be getting admitted.
she gets very angry when the carers come in and very agitated then gets vicious with us after their visitsNEXT TARGET: Halifax credit card DEC 22 £0 / £4499.12POAMAYC 2011 £6378.35 POAMAYC 2012 £5000.78POAMAYC 2013 £3480.04 POAMAYC 2014 £4085.14POAMAYC 2015 £7565.24 POAMAYC 2016 £8000.90 POAMAYC 2017 £7278.80 POAMAYC 2018 £13208.18POAMAYC 2019 £13309.28 POAMAYC 2020 £15026.053 -
How distressing for you. She’s clearly not herself. I hope she gets a proper assessment ASAP. Sending hugs xxI get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)3

morning
mindee was late this morning which had a knock on effect to me getting my cross-trainer workout done this morning (kids bought me a second hand one for mothers day to replace the one that broke on Friday) hubby slept in and well its been a knock on effect.
Had to phone NHS 24 as KK has a running nose but he doesn't blow his nose he sniffs constantly which makes him cough so the school asked me to phone NHS24 to see what they said and he's fine to go to school, he was so happy bless him as he was off yesterday.
Have managed to get my ELC paperwork amendments done whilst the kids did their arts and crafts session a the table with me they are now off to play with the lego and I've just done my finances, transferred £3 over to the savings I will be hitting the £1K mark this weekend hoe exciting.
been told by social work to take a step back in regards to my gran so I'm taking abbie out for a walk after the nursery run and mindee will nap in his buggy and it gets us some fresh air. Social work will be visiting her again at some point today as well.

morning
Completed day five of the morning crosstrainer sessions will do my gym zoom workout after I've finished work then I can rest at the weekend.
Done my finance, college have paid me so sent it straight over to the savings I now have £1577.64 in there almost halfway there already.
Things aren't looking great for my gran she had a awful day yesterday wad up at 4am shouting that a man was trying to smash through her bedroom wall and that another man was watching her through her window when her room is upstairs then keep trying to leave nearly every hour poor Abbie was exhausted. Carers raised a concern during the first two visits, she's refusing to eat managed to get her to have some dinner at 7pm last night. I visited at lunchtime with a mindee and when my wee one declared he needed the toilet she decided to get right up in my face and when I told her to leave me alone whilst I dealt with the wee one she disappeared and came back with a rolling pin, told her to back off and shut the door in her face. And last night when I was doing the dishes before I left to come home she kept asking if she could stay that I wasn't going to evict her, kept reassuring her that it was her house and she can stay as long as she likes, this went on for 5 minutes repeating the same question and I kept giving her the same answer went to put the rubbish in the bin, turn round and my gran had grabbed a knife from the drainer as I had just washed it and was threatening me with it, she only stopped when abbie heard me shouting at my gran came in and screamed gran which distracted her and I managed to get the knife off her and hide it. Phone NHS24 who called me back at 1am who have logged it as urgent and I need to phone the social work to inform them that she is escalating very quickly and I need helpNEXT TARGET: Halifax credit card DEC 22 £0 / £4499.12POAMAYC 2011 £6378.35 POAMAYC 2012 £5000.78POAMAYC 2013 £3480.04 POAMAYC 2014 £4085.14POAMAYC 2015 £7565.24 POAMAYC 2016 £8000.90 POAMAYC 2017 £7278.80 POAMAYC 2018 £13208.18POAMAYC 2019 £13309.28 POAMAYC 2020 £15026.053 -
How awful for you and Abbie. Do you think she has dementia or is it the medication she’s on. She’s gone downhill so fast, she needs to be somewhere where they’re used to dealing with this sort of thing. I really hope you get the help you desperately need. Take care and stay strong xxI get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)4
