Carers Hints and tips to Success

@Former-Member, @Faith-and-Hope, hadn't considered the possibility of the gifts being taken the wrong way. 😛 Which means it obviously hasn't happened. One was left in a pigeonhole at church at Christmastime, because that's how everyone was passing on Christmas cards. Another time one mysteriously turned up in a carry basket under her seat at Easter... I take the opportunities that present themselves. 😄

They both sound like examples of “safe space” to me @Smc ....,

What a seeetheart thing to do for her 💕

@Former-Member Re self care recharging as often as my phone ?? ... Nope lol .., my self care has been abominable... sleeping in until my back shoulders are screaming in pain and I have to get up ... no exercise and resenting having to move my body at all

@Sophie1 wrote in another thread with regard to visiting family:

"... we came across a 4 day rule with relatives where first 4 days are always the best and after that it seems to descend into tension and arguments ... it does always seem to hold true .."

Something to bear in mind when planning holidays 😀.
