hope you don’t mind me posting
just wanted to say I’m sorry to hear about your dad. From my own recent experience from when MIL passed away I know it’s very hard when so much to do while supporting a parent but make sure you take time to rest and look after yourself too.3 -

Thank you - it’s appreciated.Mark - you’ll understand I hope if I fail to appreciate your party politics at this time. The failures in my Dad’s care were absolutely nothing to do with funding, it your comment is inappropriate IMO as it essentially says that “it’s not their fault” - it was. There is a time and a place for political comment - the time is not now, and my diary is never the place.🎉 MORTGAGE FREE (First time!) 30/09/2016 🎉 And now we go again…New mortgage taken 01/09/23 🏡
