  • Just a quick note about your tyre light…do you have run flats? In my last car I was told that when the alloys get elderly then air will leak out. I bought a foot pump and just kept topping it up and resetting each time. It was a pain, but cheaper than replacing the tyre for no reason. I hope that helps.

    i dont have run flats but a couple of times my mechanic has said its something to do with the beading?

    Last week he just reset it and now its on again 

    its a nuisance but there doesnt appear to be a cause
  • have a day of work after 3 off , after 3 days not logging on I can honestly say I really do not know how I have been juggling work and mum as I dont appear to be getting much time to myself

    I've sacraficed  xmas to my sisters entitled children , I've also spelled out a few facts to them about how things are and wished them a lovely day , part of me will be glad to vacate for the afternoon.

    I noticed a drop in mums health when I got back from the weekend , shes slower on her feet , has less strength and soiling has become common place , she says it happens when she is asleep and she doesnt know but both my sister and I think it may be because she doesn't have the strength to get to the toilet in time and doesnt want to admit that - its horrendous if I'm honest and it is the worse smell I've ever encountered in my life but thats enough of that !!
    we are still a month on waiting for the 3rd care visit a day to  be approved , its with social care waiting funding , thankfully its never been deemed urgent but its hardly re assuring for when end of life does come and you need additional help 

    sister popped in today when mum was asleep so we shot round the pub , had a little chat about things , she said after last weekend she has realised how I need to be meticilous with oppurtunities to get out the house and how restricted I am , also how much more mum needs these days. I'm thankful that she does realise and maybe is starting to get it a bit even if it is 9 months too late

    bit of a spendy day , 2 cocktails £10 ( i got one round my sister got the other ) batteries for my fire stick remote , stamps to post the present I got for my new nephew and another bag of bin bags as we have binned off nappy sacks for mums soiled debris and just using them so we can get them out the house as soon as possible !!

    I'm so sorry about your Aunt. Just losing both of them on its own is so hard. I honestly don't know how you're doing it. I have said this the whole time. You seem to be running and running and running. And now to the theme song of a dog barking. I am glad you had the three days off. And getting to have nice weekends doing nice things. I honestly think you're wonderful. You'll throw yourself into anything. I think the words of your rather intense friend show more about you that was already gleaming out from these pages. You are such a kind soul and a force for good.
    Have you told your nieces that they are welcome to visit for one hour and no more and there will be no food?
    I am trying to think of how to make the faecal incidents easier. Some sort of ready to go bag... maybe just a bonfire bin by the back door?
    I am really hoping you'll get some decent time off for christmas.xxxxxx
