Each pack includes 7 fence panels that are 6ft square - it would be a big garden for 70!

I wonder if it would be honoured ...

I know lol

Sheds looks interesting but they are not the right size for what we wanted.... I would love if they got honoured ...but only one way to find out

Sitting here feeling really down. As you know I care for my Mum and she is quite difficult. Now she finally agreed a few weeks ago to have some care from an agency as she need help washing and dressing. I dont mind helping her dress but dont really want to wash her ( does that sound mean?). Anyway got the agency started and at the meeting a 10.00a.m. call time was suggested but Mum said 10.30 to 11.00 a.m. It worked ok for the first 2 weeks and they came and showered and dressed her. However if they offered to make a cup of t or brush her hair she just said no my daughter will do it when she comes later. But they were good and suggested she needed cream on her legs ( which we had in the cupboard anyway) and when I read the notes all seemed well.
But after Sunday last week she got herself up and dressed before they came ( and said she had washed - but I know she had not) so basically they care coming for nothing. Now a couple of times they have been late ( due to weather I presume) and she is now moaning and saying she wants to cancel it. When I said that maybe an earlier start was needed she just told me it was non of my business.
I am living on carer's allowance and a bit of money from her and am struggling and for what. Both my sisters and one brother are away either working or on holiday and the other one only bothers with her when he needs money.
I usually go 2 or 3 times a day, do housework, sort her meals, all her paperwork, all the washing, take her to appts etc.
When I told her I was off out shopping she just said " Of course you are!". She is not mobile and we have to use a wheelchair when she goes out and my shopping trips are my escape. Am I being selfish. Dont know what to do and I have no one to talk to. My DD and OH are kind of sick of the whole thing as it seems to be swallowing my life and after I just seemed to get some life of my own when OH left and sorted himself out it seems to be going pearshaped again.

Oh Rose that is so hard for you. My brother cared for my mum more than I did, but I think he did too much - I know it is hard not to.

I can't offer advice as such but just didn't want to read and run, take all the help you can get and find some space for yourself or will be no good to anyone.

Come on here and let it out, that was what I did when my mum was ill.

Thinking of you xxx

I am going to call the Social Services lady tommorow to ask her advice and to ask to make the time earlier. And Mum can like it or lump it. I will also ask younger brother to come to meeting on Thursday when they are coming to check how things are going. I dont really have anyone I can confide in other than my DD but she is away for a week working aswell and is in a bad place herself at the moment. Thanks

I think that is a good step, as hard as it is for your mum to accept this help she needs to. xx

My neighbours actually need some and getting them to do their fence is a PITA so ordered some but got a sorry this item is now out of stock after submitting details.

Good afternoon all

Not been able to get on for 3 days and its been busy I see - 100 pages - eek! So I am off to catch up backwards....

Treated myself to a pair of funky boots on Friday - just need funky clothes to go with em now. Spent yesterday 'bottoming' living room ready for Xmas to happen. Kids and OH gone for tree - so I am sneaking on here to catch up.

Lego advent calendar and elves arrived yesterday - kids getting excited.

Hope all is ok with everyone and hugs to those that need them.
