Still very windy here, but the suns out, not sure what I'm doing yet, our youngest might be round later. Carers been, she's lovely and very good, but we'll loose her soon, when this trial period is over we'll move to another care company for long term care, and we'll lose the evening carer, I'll be getting her ready for bed myself.

Dave.... what is free ie nhs and what do you have to pay for ?
Does it depend on the bank balance ?
The auntie will be returning home soon and will need regular care.
If MrsD gets any worse I can see her needing it also.

Good morning. Guess what? It's windy!! 💨💨💨

Terrible night's sleep. Woke at 01.45, got up 02.15, read and watched TV till 07.00 then slept till 8.30. Feel

So what's to do?? Errrrr........emmmm....not much really. I will plan seed sowing for the allotment. Possibly sow some items which should be in during March. Then I have a jigsaw. It's of a 🐬 last time I started I picked out the four corners and all the edge bits. Now the next challenge is to match them up!

 

[PaulSB]

Oh PS.

I'll do my best to stay in for the day.

Ah sorry another thing (the brain still thinks it's 3.00am). I watched the "3.10 to Yuma." Apparently it's a remake of a 1957 classic. Appropriate title for me!

Strong cast, good plot and a bit more to it than the usual cowboys Western. A lot of people get shot and die but it's not graphic - I don't enjoy graphic death and injury. Recommended and I think especially Western fans will enjoy it.

If you have Netflix watch out for The Sisters Brothers another excellent Western which is available from March 13th - Friday. I've seen it before but looking forward to watching again.

There is a certain member there that just seems incapable of NOT going off on a rant. I wonder if they are genuine or just out to wind people up.
Notice I didn't say he or she ......clever me.

I was just thinking, I would like a good rant... shan't now

I only found out yesterday that you can see What is going to be on Netflix in the next few weeks and can set a reminder.

I think that warrants a change of user name, you should be "Tech Wizard"

Blue letter from NHS this morning with an appointment for the jab on Saturday 20th. Pain in the arse as it’s in Perth rather than local.

Dave you will get far better advice from @dave r than me. Just two general comments from me. As you know No.2 son has Supported Living in the Community, his entire income to cover all living expenses is derived from a variety of state benefits.

When making a claim research and understand the questions. Seek advice if necessary. CAB may be a good source or the "home" if auntie has to go or is there already. Check and double-check every answer. My experience is giving a "wrong" answer may result in judgements which are almost impossible to get reversed. I've been there for my son.

Secondly be aware our benefits system has some very strange quirks to it and you may find what is given with one hand is taken away by the other. For example, I won't bore you with details, No.2 son is entitled to state benefits. Lancashire CC is responsible for delivering his care. We are all expected to contribute to our personal care of this nature. My boy's situation is he receives state benefits which he then pays to LCC to pay for his care.

I could rant for England on this one.
