Well on Friday she was admitted to a elderly mental health ward as Friday was horrific the psychiatric nurse paid a visit tried to fob me off so I told her enough that at what point do they step in and help as pulling a knife out on their loved ones is as bad as it gets.  I told them if anything was to happen to my gran I was contacting a solicitor and the same if anyone was harmed by my gran.  Seemed to grasp their attention and they soon realised I was being serious. Anyway they agreed she couldn’t be left at home discussed care homes but as she’s displaying violent and suicidal tendencies I was advised by social service and the gp that no care home would take her.

the Psychiatric nurse was convinced she could get her in a care home and actually came across as quite smug tbh.  Well lo and behold the care home refused so she phoned to say she would be taking her to the mental health ward.  That lunchtime my gran was very nasty and vicious, tried to push my eldest son down the stairs when he told her to stop punching her bed and even done a runner as she watched me go to the school that is just down the road from her house, waited til abbie was in the toilet and ran out the house the opposite way and hid in one of the wee crescents.  Cue the phone call to the police, my kids scrambling as well as some school bystanders looking for my gran we found her and I was so furious with her and also with those who have failed him.

so she’s on the mental health and just now and we will see what the next step is as the care home they recommended has very poor care inspectorate grades so if they say care home I want to explore options as I want the best for her.

Such a very sad situation. I hope they can get to the bottom of what’s causing her to behave in this way. Hopefully get her on some medication to calm her down. Thank goodness she’s got you to fight her corner. As Beanie says, take care of yourself too xx

Thinking of you Abba, just be awful to see her like this. X

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 xx

It’s been confirmed that at this moment she has unspecified dementia so here’s hoping we can hugest to the bottom of why it’s escalated so quickly xx

Afternoon wee one eating his lunch so I’ve done my banking tax credits came in a day early so transfer half it it towards the savings I am just shy of £25.37 to hitting £2k mark.

hubby broke his phone last night tried to fix his cracked screen and yeah you can guess the rest so I’ve bought him a new phone, this is his third since I bought mine 3 years ago, I’ve got a quote for the phone to get fixed and it’s £275 so I’m going to pay to have it fixed and I’ll keep that phone as it’s a great phone and I’m now having to charge my phone 3 time a day which isn’t good and it’ll work out cheaper that me buying a new phone.  Don’t know when I’m going to get this sorted will see how the savings go in the next couple of weeks then I’ll sell my old phone.  Someone will buy it lol xx

returned the trousers I bought for my gran they were too small so got all the way to Tesco customer service desk then realised I let my purse at home so ended up with a gift voucher hahaha oh well I clocked up my steps and didn’t spend any money hehe

plan on doing the ironing when wee one is away home then I’ll do my second workout of the day as I done my crosstrainer this morning my heart rate hit 182 this morning really pushing myself and feel better for it as lost 4lbs in 2 weeks and my shale has changed drastically especially around my waist.
