I'm glad you've got Mr F home Florenceem but at the same time I'm quite dismayed that that would let him go without any proper plan in place or anything that will help you. I so want to read them the riot act.

Hi everyone
Sorry to read about such a difficult time you are having @Florenceem, thinking of you and Mr F.
I've managed to declutter 2 large bin bags of items to the CS; also the frog that was my self assessment - submitted & paid; plus decluttered a long and difficult bit of work (took much of the weekend).
DD1's best friend has left her job and now works as a professional organiser/declutterer! She's offered to help me FOC so might have to take her up on that ...

Brie - I didn't want carers coming in - they were offered but I have heard so many horror stories about them. My daughter thought that you get carers free of charge too!
I have fed and watered Mr F - I will weigh him as the hospital only did it once and his weight had dropped.
I am feeling really tired so have decided not to go to singing group. I think I know all the songs so will be able to take part on Sunday.
Mr F is tired so we will have an extra early night.Decluttering Achieved - 2023 - 10,364 Decluttering - 2024 - 8,365 August - 0/45

Managed to declutter an old art set today. It was a big item and given away on a free cycle site.
Also used up some bath salts that were a Christmas gift and not my normal thing, I managed to use it all up tonight.

Our carers were fantastic and enabled me to keep my DH at home during the whole of his devastating illness .
his only wish was to die at home and he did ( it was all through the lockdowns and to me the saddest thing was he never saw a carers face .)
Generally the first 6 weeks out of hospital is free ( used to known as an enablement service . (kiss me now will know the current rules ) .
Hopefully now Mr F seems to be ‘coming back ‘ he will improve now he’s home .20
