They are a great help (in fact a couple of them are carers too) especially as they will let me bitch and moan as much as I like. There is a carers group that meets monthly but it's on a Thursday and that's the one night out I get a week when I play in a pool team with those mentioned and i think that weekly thing does me more good, and frankly is an escape.<br /><br />xxxJust Another Carerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13393023977314952790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3297575540248589579.post-10780602670324283892011-01-07T22:59:01.982+00:002011-01-07T22:59:01.982+00:00I know what you mean about a lonely life.

Perhaps if you asked for a carers assessment you might find a mutual support group which can help in sharing feelings with others who in similar circs.Penny Pincherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00993473608935875834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3297575540248589579.post-21781175043600231462011-01-06T11:23:10.502+00:002011-01-06T11:23:10.502+00:00Hi Ladythinker.

Sadly many of the people we've dealt with seem to be on a massive ego trip and aren't used to people pointing out when they contradict themselves.<br /><br />xxx<br /><br />Hi Mongo,<br /><br />And a happy new year to you and yours mate. You're absolutely right they don't like it up 'em but when I'm around if they don't do their job they better get used to it!<br /><br />xxx<br /><br />Hi Gunnercesc.<br /><br />Glad it's working again because I was dreading having to sort out something techno! As for your last post to be honest every comment is appreciated as it helps to feel that people are taking an interest. In many ways it's a lonely life looking after my son; not that I'd change it for the world.<br /><br />xxxJust Another Carerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13393023977314952790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3297575540248589579.post-46282853690044569052011-01-05T18:09:13.563+00:002011-01-05T18:09:13.563+00:00Hi, glad you're getting somewhere!

I found that I had to minute meetings and send them a copy via email (unlike post it was proof I had done so - I did this to cover my own back) as they often denied we ever talked over some points.Penny Pincherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00993473608935875834noreply@blogger.com
