Sorry to hear about your Mum.
You did forget to mention the skiing trip though…
If that had not happened I would now be climbing the walls, it was a well need 5 days! (joys of being a mixed farmer, no quiet time to enjoy the slopes/shooting/sailing etc)

When it comes to selling lambs I'm a greedy buggerTo be fair, you did have a flier last week.
You can’t get lucky every week, surely?

Difficult here too . FIL only been here for 2 yrs but it's hard work . Thankfully we built a small annexe for him else we would never have coped . It's very trying and his dementia is getting worse now . Had to talk to him yesterday about the way he talks to his carers but I know he will just ignore it .
........makes farming look easy !!
It's tough isn't it. We looked after my Dad for many years although mentally he was sharp the hard years had broken his body. Dementia is a whole different ball game though - not sure we could have done that.

Yes they have been brought up in a different era and things they say aren’t acceptable now
Hard to get them to realise that
If i ever get that way I want too make sure my kids and mrs know full well I just want putting in a home and leaving too it I hate the thought of being a massive burden on everyone, you see people who can’t go too work or anything and ending up in a right mess because they’ve ended up putting caring for there parents and I don’t wanna end up like that

Problem is it’s maybe 2k a month to go in a home and they have to pay if they have over 20/25k in the bank
If they get below that the council will take the money off the estate/house at the end
Not much fun really when folks have saved up to end up there
Carers at home costing £1500 a month
I’m just pleased cake and fert is so dear so I won’t have that problem
Easy to say that paying for it is the problem.
If putting me down is an option I’d choose that tbf

Yes the extention we put up was about 50 grand. We are about 2 yrs down the line so that's basically paid for itself .... without being unkind we are hoping for his sake and ours that he pops off before needing a care home !!
....I must admit to smiling to some if the things he says .......
OH is horrified !!!
