Yesterday 7th Oct 2015

I woke up at 6.45am. I woke my children. I checked on my mum and she was still asleep. My children left for school at 8am. I checked on my mum again and she was still asleep.

I began to clean my children’s bedrooms – what a mess – what happened??? Everything is everywhere aaaargh! I was thinking that I would just leave their rooms, as I am fed-up picking up all their mess. They could tidy up their own mess after school…. hmmmmm! I am not happy!

I decided not to do my tummy crunchers, telling myself, that I will do them later (I know that this is a lie because there is very little chance that I will actually do them later).

I checked on my mum again, she was awake. I raised her bed and gave her a glass of water, I then put on her television and opened her curtains.

I made myself a coffee (a real coffee) – lovely…… “A change is nice”, I told myself.

The carer arrived just after 9am and we got my mum up out of her bed, we washed her and then we put her clothes on. I went and began my morning routine, I got washed and changed, whilst the carer fed my mum her breakfast. We then took my mum up to my car and put her in my car.

I drove my mum to the day care centre and then I went home.

What to do? Clean!!!! I had noticed some mice droppings under my sink, in the kitchen, so I decided to clean out the cupboard with Jays fluid and to put down some poison – uurgh!! what a job? Not a job to put off though.

It took me ages to clean under my sink, I had so many cleaning products stored there and I had to clean each and every one of them. Eventually I completed this task, I am keeping my fingers crossed that this will do the trick, as I do not want mice running about all over the house. That I could not cope with.

“What next”? I am thinking. I wondered through to my children’s room and I was thinking, “the poor wee things, they will be exhausted after a day at school, I should clean their rooms”. I clean their rooms.

I then put a washing on…. the washing goes on and on and on. I dry the washing and this goes on and on and on….. I iron and the ironing goes on and on and on…..

I walked the dog and then I went and collected my mum for the day care centre. The carer was waiting for me when I got home and we got my mum out of the car and took her into my house. My children arrived home – full of beans – I should have left their rooms, they had loads of energy, plenty for tidying their rooms hmmmmm!

The lady from the no win no fee lawyers firm called me, she said that her directors wanted to see the information relating to my mums case from the previous lawyer, before they made a decision as to whether they would fund my mums case or not. She explained that my sister would need to sign a mandate to allow this to happen.

Hopefully it will all happen quickly because you only have three years to take this type case to court. I called my sister.

My daughter helped me change my mums pad and then I walked my mum around the house. I then sat my mum on her chair in the livingroom – she must get awfully sore sitting for so long in her wheelchair.

I had to go to my sons parents evening – what a great report, I am really proud of him, what great feedback he got. On the way home I ordered a chippy for my children, it was too late to begin cooking.

My daughter fed my mum and then my children had their chippy. The carer arrived and we washed and changed my mum into her pj’s.

I was floored, It had been a busy day. I had a bath and then I walked my mum through to her room, my daughter helped me to change my mum and then we put mum to bed.

Bedtime for me. I read my book and fell asleep.
