Top of the day to everyone ๐
JV gosh its such a worry with your OH, I do really hope he starts to feel better soon. These men certainly keep us on our toes! lol
Well been on the phone to centrelink this morning, they are actually very helpful people. My carer payment/allowance is up for review. I might not be able to stay on it but won't know for a few months for sure.
Still they have been good to me. I just don't know how I will make it all work if that eventuates but its life I guess. OH is trying to see if we can get DD into school for a day or so a week. Just to give her some opportunities to socialise more, but I have a feeling the school is not real interested in disability. But will continue to try.
Other than that not much happening in our lil world.
Beanie carers are wonderful aren't they. I've had a lady pop out to give the girls some respite from us the other day. I came home to lots of smiles, they had a ball. So nice to see!
Anyway better get going bubs will be awake soon
catch u all later alligators

Good afternoon everyone!
Hi JVH enjoy lunch and best of luck for your OH at the docs - hope to hear some good news! Well done at getting him to go back - keep working on him re the second opinion - you really need to have faith in your dr.
Hi beani glad you are having a good day! Also pleased to hear you have 'caring' carers - and are at ease with them.
Hi bella - glad you found someone helpful at centrelink - also good to hear you had a respite - good for you to take a step back occasionally and enjoy some 'bella' time!
Hey pjbear after your comment about the Eagles I was racking my brain to remember the name of my favorite Eagles song and it didn't hit me till this a.m. (spent all night puzzling lol) - anyway it is 'One of These Nights' - hope you are having a good day!
Hi purple well done to R - and yes after the ciggie price hike bet there are heaps more luxuries on the list!
Hi kezza been missing you!
Hi dame hope you are enjoying the day!
Waves to everyone! Having a lazy day - trying to get motivated!

Morning all.
JV hope your OH feels better soon. They are a real worry.
Well we are off to do a bit of grocery shopping today. Thank goodness we do not need much. Hate it with a passion. lol
R is still not smoking. So that is great news. He has 3 weeks left on the Champix. The lollies have gotten a good workout. But heaps cheaper than ciggies.
Hope everyone has a great day. BBL

Hi JV
You know what stinks, they are not allowed to discriminate on the basis of disability or anything else. I could force them legally but it will mean they may be at risk as the school wouldn't ensure a duty of care. I really hope things work out for OH's grandie, its just not right.
Did the Doc send home a blood pressure machine so OH could moniter his blood pressure for a few days? They did that with OH and it helped alot.
Anyway better get going again, time to organise something eatable for tea lol

Good afternoon all!
Hi JVH glad the bp is a bit better - great idea of bella's regards the home monitor - think they do it over 4 days (friend of mum's doing one right now) - think it really sad his kids are not showing concern for their father -
Hi bella yes duty of care is utmost! The 4hr drive each day would be very taxing - hope there is a better solution.
Hi pjbear thinking of you!
Hi dame hope you and mr beam have a great weekend planned!
Purple saw on another thread you will be seeing your brother - how exciting - best wishes for a fantastic reunion!!
Big waves to the thread!
Going away for a few days next weekend - rutherglen, Canberra and Sydney so trying to get rid of this cold tout de suite! Have a great day everyone!
