    Sorry S A, for how things are for you at,the moment…would it be worth you “ juggling up” your days in the office ( if you can) don’t tell MR S A till the day you are going in,if possible. Or tell him you are getting a carer to “ pop in” at lunch time ,if you can get help from the council. Re the surveys,i use qmee…can be quite good..i usually cash out @ £30 a month( if i really make an effort have cashed out over £60 in a month

  • @Judes123, I use Qm** as well. The first few months were brilliant, at least £30, but just lately I seem to get DQ'd from most of them. Maybe they think I've had enough from them....lol

    @Judes123 the juggling the days is a good idea but it really wouldn’t work for me. The pattern I have now of Tuesday and Thursday WFH is perfect. I used to do QM and regularly made £10 a week then all of a sudden I just kept getting screened out constantly. Out of interest I logged back in tonight and got a fair way through a survey when it screened me out 🙁

    @Sun_Addict we are all rooting for you.  If you implode, Mr SA will end up with carers if not in a care home anyway.  I think you're right to be suspicious, sadly.  Love Humdinger xx

    It's a bit of a coincidence for sure and to then say what he said about falling makes me even more suspicious. Maybe you should test him by saying you are going when you aren't to see what he does. He needs to realise that you need a break before you break

    As someone who falls all to often I would literally give anything to not do so.

    I think the majority of his falls are genuine as they’re so random. I hope I’m wrong about the Sunday falls but it does seem suspicious especially after what he said last week. However I do think the thought of me leaving him on Mondays makes him careless to the point where he’s hoping he falls. I think this last fall has shook him up so I think he’ll be more careful this Sunday 🤞 As for the key episode 😡
