That's good Abba, as long as you are not over stretching yourself x

The wee one is slotting right into what I already work and I would drop him off at his little brother nursery as I walk past this nursery at 12.45pm when I'm taking my other mindee to a different nursery so slots in perfectly and it's only until August.

That's good then

morning

I'm soooooooooooooooo tired last two days i've had no energy I'm telling you all now I'm going to my bed at 9pm tonight don't care if hubby stays up lol 

Did my cross trainer session this morning will do my online gym workout tonight after work.  Shoulder feels a bit tender need to keep an eye on that.

Savings still creeping up

Oh yeah Mortgage Offer is on its way from the halifax thank goodness that's something else sorted.  will be chasing the postman lol xx

Need to go to my grans and go through some of her clothes and get some packed up ready to go to the care home.  She seems to have settled in quite nicely she likes watching the baby bunnies round about outside her window, get to see her on the 13th can't wait.

Managed to get all her paperwork filled out for social services so need to wait and see how much the care home charges and how much the social work are willing to pay.  Still decluttering her house slowly but surely as managed to get a tip run done at the weekend.  

wee one still sleeping lucky wee thing plan is to have a chill day as it's freezing here quite literally, got a few bits of paperwork to get printed out but can do that later.

Great news the mortgage is sorted 🥳 So pleased your gran likes where she is. You must be so relieved she’s safe and settled.

  Hello abba1772.   Your story of gran takes me back nearly 5 years when my mother was diagnosed with dementia.  People with dementia certainly do act very strangely.  My mom had puemonia and never recovered.
   I remember the council paying moms care home fees until I sold her house.  My mom is now self funding as she had a house and a certain amount of savings , so the house had to be sold .
  It is a bit like looking after a small child eg I have to sew name tags on all her clothes, still have to buy toiletries for her.  Also pay for hairdressing and chiropody.  
 It made me think it is not worth owning a house and having a lot of savings.

   If you need to pm me then please do.  My mom is nearly at year five after her diagnosis - she has lost the ability to walk now and cannot remember she owned a house.    I am an only one with one dd.  So had to do everything on my own.

Aww bless you thank you so much for sharing your journey it’s greatly appreciated 

you’re absolutely right it is like looking after a child, I’ve been told to label all her clothes before I hand them into the home

tbh house prices aren’t high here I reckon her house is worth between 60 and 70 thousand so that’s not going to last long then the council will need to step up I guess as I don’t have the money to fund it

it certainly makes you think about the future as I bought my house to secure my kids future when I’m gone but no doubt I be stubborn like my grandmother 

I’m eldest of three, my mum is out the picture her loss but it leaves everything on my shoulders not that she would have my grans back.  

I’m sorry to hear about your mum losing her ability to walk it’s heart breaking seeing those who have raised us becoming a shadow of themselves xx

It's Friday woo hoo

I've made a boo boo I throught i submitted my college invoice on the 25th March checked the bank to transfer the money over to the savings fund only to see I hadn't been paid........yip you've guessed it the email was sitting in my drafts folder so I've emailed them and hopefully it'll get paid next week good job I'm not relying on that money.  Nearly at the £4.5k mark would have been over the £5k mark if not for my mistake 

Done my cross trainer this morning and have got a washing in the machine which is nearly done and I'll get another one on and thats my washing baskets empty.

I finish work at 4.30pm today, wee one still snoring away so plan is when one mindee gets collected then I'll nip up to homebargains as need toilet paper, a wallpaper scraper and black bags and I'll drop hubby's amazon returns on the way there as well.

At 3 pm someone is coming to collect my grans pine dressing table so thats another thing out her house and I'm making progress in sorting out some more stuff.  slowly but surely.

When my last mindee goes I plan on doing my last online gym workout for the week grab a shower then I have a couple of avon books to collect tonight and then I'm done.
