Where did smallest bunny come from? Is there a way she could find a lovely new home (not that your home isn’t lovely, just thinking out loud).2

Your mum's pills - could you get them delivered in the dose things from the chemists then all you need is some small paper/plastic medicine pots for you to put them into each morning. That would save you working everything out each day.
I was thinking the same as WW - maybe a park home could do. If your own stuff can be packed it would be easy enough for you to put it into storage and rent the place out for 6 months of the year. That would pay your site rental etc while you are free to travel.2 -
I will ask at the chemist.
Mum went to bed so I couldn't do my room
but I did some school work instead.
once this horrid week at work is over I shall sort the money situation a bit.Nevertheless she persisted.1 -

I put Mr SA’s meds in those 7 day pill case things then in the morning put that day’s in a small plastic pot that looks like a like a shot glass. He’s had the dispenser packs from the chemists in the past so may be an option for you.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)2

Sounds as if you’ve been doing a lot of thinking. Life has a way of letting you know which direction to take when the time is right. I’m a great believer in that. There have been many times I’ve convinced myself of something- sleepless nights, big plans etc. Then when the time has been right something has turned up to make me change my mind…..You will know which direction to take when the time is right 👍January spends - £587.582

What about a dog flap? It took ten minutes to teach our dogs to use it.2

It has been an AWFUL week. Really.
One of the worst I can remember.
The week before wasn't that much better. I thought if I made it to Easter things would be better. But nothing is better. I am writing this as a tired frustrated person who has spent all week with stressed out people. Pressure is on. New management as ever want everything done Yesterday and perfected by today. It is agonising. And communication is just dreadful.
And then home. Well Mum is on steroids which is lovely for her. It really is. She made rock cakes today. It is a miracle. Unfortunately she also did the online shop - as I went out (never doing that again.) so we have loads of duplicates, foods she won't eat, but thinks she will. A freezer full to the brim and I know. I know I should be grateful she is doing better and I am but it just brings more difficulties really and I need to offload so if you think I am !!!!!! so be it. I just start to run things my way so I can cook easy dinners, keep the kitchen clean, and up she pops, telling me what goes in recycling, why I can't recycle X, feeding the dogs but not giving them any dried food(upset tummies coming soon). moving the butter, not putting things back so they are easy for her to get out, Doing my washing. Folding my washing. Which I hang up normally. so it is all creased. so I had nothing to wear. I mean it is fine, they are all small things but with work and exams I could just cry and cry and cry. After the shopping I nearly got in the car and left. The food will just have to be chucked after it has wasted time sitting in the freezer. I hate it. We sit here wasting money, food and heat and people are struggling all over. It is unreal. I should feel lucky but I just feel ill.
The petty stupid arguments we have that I will regret with all my heart I know but I am so angry about squashing myself into the daughter box and feeling like a skivvy.
I am really tired and upset now. I am sorry
Tomorrow I am going to the charity shop, the tip and I am going to make a donation to the food bank. I need to make the balance right if that makes sense.
Nevertheless she persisted.4 -
Ah no Buffy.Nobody on here thinks of you as anything but someone trying their best. Teaching is just impossible at the minute.Did you know that 85% of teachers don’t make it past their first year? That must show you that you are doing amazing by just getting in every day.
