Today is a sad day for me today as I lost my mother fifteen years ago today. My mother Patricia will forever be in our hearts. It's a tragic way she passed away as she was found Christmas morning lying in the snow outside her front door while my father and brother were in the house.

It's hard work having mental health issues and having to look after a wife who is blind, with kidney failure and severe mobility issues but I'm very grateful for my life and the wonderful people in it.

Give Lou a work place interview. Was a joke but at least now we don't have to attend anymore. At least now our mortgage is paid off and I'm essentially retired.

Yep my wife is Blind, has mobility issues and has kidney dialysis every night. She needs round the clock care and I earn 83 a week carers allowance. I use that mostly on the car as we have multiple hospital appointments. We recently had to attend the job centre to move onto UC and they wanted to

So, my life is devoted to seeing things that I cannot understand and obtaining things that are impossible to have. I succeeded by two means: money and will.

Myself in my library combating depression

Myself in my library combating depression

It's that time of year again and I'm in the throws of #depression it seems to get the better of me about this time each year. If others out there are suffering then do know you are not alone. I find that using brain.fm and reading helps.

Spent a lovely afternoon driving out to #GreatTew yesterday to visit #TheFalklandArms and I jokingly said to Lou that we're off to meet #SirDavidBeckam as he's a local.
Believe it or not when we arrived Sir David was actually there and sat outside having a pint. What a lovely fellow.

I would love to work full time still but it's dangerous for my wife to be gone for hours on end. I'm a full time carer now on 83 a week and do 80+ hours a week doing everything for her. If I was not there then someone on 500 a week would have to look after my wife.

As a disabled person I am not β€œinsulted” by the tiny number of folk circumventing the system…

I’m insulted by disability benefits being less than a liveable amount.
By the process being inaccessible and harming vulnerable people.

By ableists making ableist assumptions.

Far too true. I'm a full time carer for my wife and have been paying into the system for some 34+years the same as my wife. Last week while Imputting my income and expenses, I made a small mistake and rectified it an hour later. However my wife's payment for tomorrow is now delayed.

Turn 50 next month and have both been working since the age of 12 so have both paid into the system. My wife literally cannot do anything for herself apart from making phone calls. In the last six months she has only been able to make 1 cup of tea. I only get 83 pounds a week for caring for my wife.

I'm a full time carer for my wife and I earn a little doing driving Uber Eats delivery. Anyway each month I have to put my income and miles in which is on average 25 a week. Last week I made a mistake and now the 800 pound my wife is getting tomorrow is not showing up. The thing is we both

Indeed. It's funny when he sticks his tongue out like this. Unfortunately as he's a rescue cat he now only has two teeth.
