It’s good he’s getting some enjoyment and cracking jokes. It must be awful for him, poor bloke. A lot for your sister to cope with.

I honestly have no idea how she does it, I mean she has got some advantages, no money worries and their relationship is very good, he is like I say a good patient if you see what I mean. I am positive she has really awful times with him as he must be in hell but I think because they love each other they are I hope quite forgiving and care a lot for each other. 

8 months of looking after mum and I am often ready to leave the country under an assumed name! I don't know how we are sisters!

I know how you feel, I am so not a natural carer, I’ve had 8 years of it 😱 thought it was just a temporary thing, apparently not 😢

Eight years. I really think you are incredible. I hadn't clocked it had been that long. You guys must love each other too XX

Tomorrow is housework day. 

I really want to eat Pringles. 
All the Pringles.

It’s been 12 years for us in the care front, I think it’s completely different when it’s a partner rather than a parent.  Still very hard at times, no matter how much you love them.

Roles are reversed for a few days here whilst I recover from my op.  Luckily we’ve got the girls to come help where needed.  I’m a crap patient.

So sorry to hear about your friend Buffy - hope they are ok x

Good that your BIL had a good day

I am not a natural carer either, I think I'm too impatient.

You will def have your own front door one day and definitely keep that dream alive x

I’m not a natural carer either…I can do the practical stuff, but sympathy goes out of the window on day 2.
I think you should eat the Pringles….but not all of them, save a few tubes for the rest of us 😁

I don’t know how you carers do it either. I’m not a natural carer and have limited patience apart from my job which is weird where my patience seems endless. 

Anyway, I think you are all so selfless giving so much of you to others to support them.

I’d eat the Pringles. I wouldn’t stop either! X

I am not feeling it today. 

I was going to declutter today but can't find a bra. Need to feed mum. All I do is worry about bloody food. Need to find a bra. need to order some more from George.
