Nothing

Good morning @Zoe7@Former-Member@eth@CheerBear@Former-Member. Yes, @eth, I was out walking. Sleep wasn't too bad. Woke about 1:00pm and got back to sleep til 5:00am. Have done the dog walk and the grocery run walk. I have leftovers from the weekend in the fridge so I bought some eggs and haloumi and will put together a frittata for dinner tonight.

My washing machine is telling me that the load is finished. Catch you all later.

Yum @soul. Enjoy your day.

Morning @soul Sleep is good isn't it! Hope you have a good day.

Hi @Former-Member hope you are going ok today.

I found my PHaMs worker through an organisation called New Horizons. Depending on where you live it could be that PHaMs is offered from a different org. I am in the Hunter region. Google PHaMs and New Horizons for those details. PHaMs stands for Personal Helpers and Mentors. They come out to meet you (2 came to me, one was the co-ordinator, one was a support worker). They assess you at that first meeting. They are keen to help apply for NDIS too. I was approved for 4 hours a week. I asked for a female and that's what I have. She is coming twice this week. Once to take me to a cooking group and once to take me to a psychologist appointment. I have trouble trusting too but they are good the way the co-ordinator came to the 2nd visit too with the support worker she found for me. There is a form to apply on which you tell them a lot about what's happening for you and some risk assessment questions. I had my sister-in-law negotiating this part and filling out the form for me but I now deal with them myself. Hope this information helps you. @Mazarita might also have some info for you. Hope it's ok for me to tag you here @Mazarita. Ask me any questions you still have @Former-Member.
