Right everyone opinions needed. As some of you I have spent the last 5 years caring for Mum and Dad but went back to work last May and still did most of the caring for Mum ( Dad now gone) But in March my sisters installed a live in lady but she only lasted a month. Anyway we now have another lady who is supposed to cook Mum a meal every day 4 days a week and clean etc. Worked well 1st couple weeks but this week the only freshly cooked meal Mum has had was Sunday Lunch that I cooked. We buy the odd ready meal for emergencies but this week she has had 2 ready meals and some bits from the freezer. Kind of think the lady is taking the michael. Anyway because I am not really her carer anymore ( although I still do 2 days a week) I dont really want to get mixed up in it. Although I was upset when I was efectivelly sacked when the lady moved in I am now free to do my job , look after DD, plan a wedding and get my house up togethe. She is paid 80 per week for 8 hours and Mum also has carers 4 times a day. What do you think. I am inclined to say let the lady come 3-4 hours a week to clean and get Mum Wiltshire Farm foods ready meals delivered. What do you think.

Other thing is Mum has something called NPH ( which is kind of water on the brain ) and they want to put a shunt in in 2 weeks. She had a preliminary lumbar puncture in Feb to see if it made any difference to her walking etc but I cant say it did much. She was quite poorly for a week or 2 after that and still gets pain where the needle went in.
This op entails inserting a shunt into her brain and a tube to drain into her stomach. Apparently it carries risk of stroke, menginitits, blood clots after and I am wondering if its worth the risk for an 89 year old who is already frail and overweight. I tried to talk to my sisters but they wont listen .

Rose my mum is 89 too and I wouldn't want her put through that at her age to be honest. Too many risks involved to my mind. Regarding the p taker that is being paid to cook and clean, well as you have said if you want to keep her on let her do the cleaning, but the Wiltshire Farm Foods is a good idea. We had to give in and let my mum go into a care home and I can honestly say it is the happiest she has been in the last few years. Well fed, well looked after and plenty to do to keep her occupied. Is that not something you would consider? ......x

Evening peeps.

I would have thought we'ed be on post 8000 by now. :eek:
what's going on and who is deleting posts by the dozen??

Anyway, I don't know if this is national but my T's have in their reduced section, Surf Ylang Ylang washing powder, 90 washes reduced to £5. Bloody bargain as I haven't found any of the stuff at A's.

I was just saying to someone earlier... normally I go to A, and my shopping turns out to be cheaper at T, S, M, W... but this time, I go to T, do a proper shop there, and the shopping turned out to be cheaper in A:rotfl:. I shop away from A and... first time I've had a shop of that many items turn out to be cheaper at A. Just what an unexpected coincidence:rotfl::rotfl:!

We do and I was :mad: not a single store in Poole doing the offer, in fact unlike me so :mad: I phoned the careline yesterday.

Meant to hear back.

Bet it's because we have one of the most affluent areas in the country in Poole with the Sandbanks mansions. Forget there are several parts that have Coops that are quiet deprived. Just sticking up for those really.
