Feel like I should tidy up?

[Jan1957]

Been informed by Social Services that I have been approved for a carer for half an hour a day. Starting tomorrow morning she will come in and help me put on my walking boot, that I can't put on myself, and do a little bits of housework. Why do I feel that I should tidy up tonight before she gets here? Silly isn't it she's supposed to be helping me but I feel guilty about it.

probably because you haven't had to rely on anyone before Jan, I am sure it will be fine xx

I'd leave it, if you're too tidy, they might decide that you can't have her and you'll be back to square one.

As said it is your nature to think that way, just relax and accept the help offered, hope you get along with the carer too.

[Jan1957]

You're probably right Bobbi. Hadn't thought of that Rapunzel. Perhaps I should throw things around the room a bit.

[Jan1957]

Thanks mamya. Will be nice just to see someone every day so hope so.

[Bobbisox]

Jan, everything is new to you, sit back and accept the help petal, you have had it very tough lately :-)

[Rapunzel61]

Hope you get someone nice and it works out for you

[Bobbisox]

I always go right through and then change the bed before we go on holiday,,,
don't know why, it's never untidy :-(

[Bobbisox]

Trigs, you are worrying me, all this agreeing...LOL

[Jan1957]

Very true. I shall put my feet up tonight then as I should be doing.

[Bobbisox]

feet up , a wee drink, and relax -a-voo x

[Jan1957]

Oooh no, no drink Bobbi. Have given up for a while. Starting a healthy eating regime today. Done a Tesco order for tomorrow and no alcohol on the order at all!

Jan, good luck to you. Do I know you from another site a few years back, with your user name short form being 5 letters, beginning with P and ending with S?

[Jan1957]

Sorry, not me hc. I only use here and FB. Oh apart from the Macmillan site but that was last year.

[hc4361]

Thanks for that, Jan. I've been wondering for a while

Hi Jan ,hope it goes well for you tomorrow , I know from experience that it is hard when you cant do things for yourself ,I had a heart attack ,2yrs ago and I pay my niece to come once a week to clean and do the ironing . I cant do it myself and its a bit of pocket money for her.I hope it goes well for you Gill

Thank you Gill. It does get really frustrating so it will be nice to have help.
