    Hi all

    Glad you had a good day @Hostafan1, must have been nice to spend it at home.

    We are totally stuck trying to sort out care for Moira's mum. The council will provide £750 a week, but the minimum cost we have found for the required care, is £1500 + car a week. She has £5000 in savings.
    How does anyone manage this?

    I can now claim attendance allowance. Processing time is around 6 weeks. He might be dead before they get round to it.

    @punkdoc ((hugs)) we had great advice and help from folk at Saga Finance in sorting out how to pay for my Aged P's care ... worth investigating.

    Attendance allowance is claimed by the sick person. I had a stroke in 2012. I claim the lower rate of £60 a week, to pay for cleaners, anything extra that you need.  The first payment is backdated to the day you signed the form. My husband died in June, but I can still claim as I now have to move to an apartment near to my daughters.

    Just like our Christmases in the southern hemisphere.  After a rest, you can all troop off to the beach and eat pickled pork and salad tomorrow!!

    A good hoeing is worth two waterings.

    Hello all.
    It's raining here.

    Happy Christmas @chicky 

    I've been catching up with the papers and Olympic results on my Laptop. At last OH has tuned in the Wifi Extender in the dining room so I can sit at a table. I was in the sitting room with Laptop on my knees, on the sofa. I felt so sorry for the German girl in the modern Pentathlon when her horse refused to jump. But our girl won!

    I was cross with myself for forgetting my Laptop when we went to Yorkshire.
