Messymascot's faith in humanity and ginger safe haven

Terrarian said:
Sorry guys, I meant to post. Been trying to support my sister with dad, he's got vascular dementia, it took for that diagnosis to come through for her to start getting somewhere as they were happy to pile him off on her despite her health conditions. She's really stressed and it's making her ill and his true personality is shining through, nasty and horrible man he is.

Just had a phone call saying my neighbour(the one who makes me xmas dinner) had died, I feel a bit bad as she tried ringing me a couple of times last few days and I didn't answer and I hope she didn't need help.

Anyway, I'm ok just fed up of being at home all the time but it is what it is.

Sorry to hear about your sister and your dad, especially the grief and stress it gives your sister. Your dad will be ok anyway as at some point he’ll be living in his own little world in his mind. It really sounds as though she needs assistance and your dad putting in a home tbh. I assume you are in touch with Age U.K. dementia support, they are excellent when needed.

You’re having a bit of a rough time and it’s a shame about your neighbour. Look after yourself….

He's literally today that my sister has keys for his new flat, he is in residential housing but she's still worried as he forgets what he is doing or where he is and his front room opens onto the street. So we are wondering what help residential is if he forgets how to send for help.

I did pass all the ageuk stuff to my sister, she's been dealing with some people from a memory clinic, it's them that have pushed through his diagnosis so he can move forward.

The memory clinic is just the diagnosis and they will determine the tablets to be put on. Speak to someone from Age U.K. Dementia support, explain the situation of yourself, your sister and your dad. You should also get in touch with your local council regarding care homes, if your dad doesn’t have more than £23,250 they have to help with the cost, but between £14,250 and £23,250 he would have to make a contribution. If he has less than £14,250 or whatever money he has eventually falls below this then the council have to pay the full cost of a care home. Your dad can also claim attendance allowance and your sister may qualify for care allowance. It is not a lot but having Attendance Allowance is like the first step into the system. Please speak with Age U.K……..

Morning everyone,

Well I've had this virus for a week now. Yes I feel.a but better but still nowhere near back to normal so it sounds like I did indeed get what @Val P had - she's such a generous girl!

The good news is that despite feeling ropey for a couple of days Mrs J hasn't got the dreaded lurgy.

Still not heard from @Terrarian - come on fella get in touch and let us know that you are ok.

Also , I'm not sure that @Barnfred 55 has posted much recently, is everything alright mate?

I was intending to continue to report on what I've noticed since I stopped drinking but a bit pointless this week as I've felt so bad anyway.

Well virus or not I have to do some housework and leaf collection today.

Also my turn to cook tonight so it's taco time

At least there's no Everton to wreck your weekend ( although the past few weekends have been good) and if I feel up to it I'm off the Acoustica audio show in Chester tomorrow.

Anyway have a lovely day everyone.

Sorry to hear that @Terrarian. Lots of good advice coming from our friends on the forum which I can only agree with. Take care and hugs to Daisy 💙

OMG 10 Point deduction this season - so unfair

Sat in Wetherspoons in Falmouth trying to digest this. I don't think there's a single Evertonian that doesn't agree that we're an awfully run club and deserve punishment. It's just the severity I question. I believe we're the victim of politics and been made into scapegoats, and not for the first time. I guarantee no other team will ever receive such a punishment. We will not become tge benchmark.

The really worrying thing is that I read that the commission concluded that relegated teams from the last 2 seasons would be entitled to financial compensation. From whom???

Returned from my walk to see this ☹️. I feel surprisingly philosophical about it . Let’s get a siege mentality going , us against the world , and survive this. I’m going to try to avoid posting anymore in other threads on this .

I think Goodison will be like a bear pit tbh and I look forward to that atmosphere. For the sake of my BP I too am avoiding all other forums/pages etc.

I’ve read it’s from us, £100 million each but whether that’s true or not I don’t know. can’t bear to read any more tbh

In fact I think we should have a protest march - we were quick enough to do it against our own board - why not do it now and highlight who are the real victims in this ie imo the fans. We might prick some consciences - unlikely but as you know I’m ever the optimist
