With being on blood thinners , i now get cold very easily,

…….. That is , i did , until i discovered Onesies .

I’m not brave enough to go for the animal ones with big bushy ears and tails but i’m happy to wear this bad boy. It’s that warm that i now don’t need the heating on as high or as much so it will pay for itself in no time.

I am a carer , i have been a carer for a long time, over 25 years.

I cared for both my mum and dad until they passed , and now i need to be a carer for my wife .

Its not an easy thing to do but over time it does become the ‘norm’ and you adapt to this way of life without thinking about it. Usual duties involve everything from making sure meds are administered to everything in between 24/7, as well as managing my own needs and the day to day running of a busy household.

However , i wouldn’t change what i do for the world, in fact i wouldn’t really know what i would do with myself.

I do get paid a carers allowance as i need to care 24/7 . This makes working a full time ‘paid’ job impossible

… and that’s where the stigma and ignorance of some people annoys me.

i’ve had every comment thrown at me over the years such as ” go get a job , scrounger , etc. They simply don’t understand that i don’t claim benefits , my allowance for what it is , has to support me. it seems that as i am at home 24/7 , then i obviously don’t deserve or need to be.

I just hope those type of people never get sick enough to need a full time carer themselves, but if they did, then maybe they may ‘ understand’ a little

Another day today at the computer. After finally changing my website host to a UK provider and changing the domain , all was left was to change my email address and update my contacts.

There was a lot of contacts , much coffee was consumed.

All done now though , until next time 😛

Its back to the cold weather again so i’m staying in the warm of my living room and looking to update/replace my webpage theme. There’s lots of choices so its gonna take some time to find one i like and will stick with so bear this in mind should you visit and everything looks different.

….Or i could just take the easy way out and hire a webpage designer 😛

I needed a UK data Center to host my site so i’m gradually moving everything over to Siteground.

https://www.siteground.com/recommended?referrer_id=8912438

Superb company , migrated my site over within minutes along with SSL and Private email. The site should propagate globally within hours , however this should not impact the site too much.

I was extremely impressed with the support as i had a few errors that was dealt with within minutes

If you want to have great hosting and support and want to save a few £££ , please use my link as it will help the site too 🙂

Car Trouble

Car decided to ‘ no worky ‘  , luckily i have home start so RAC was with me within minutes.   seems my starter motor didnt wanna play anymore.

RAC mechanic so got me started and i headed to my local garage to have said starter motor replaced.   I was told it could take up to 2 weeks , however the guys at the garage had a spare slot and got my motor sorted within 24 hours.

Downside was i needed a new battery as well as the starter motor so had that replaced too .

All up and running now though 🙂

least it wasnt a write off like 3 cars near me  😛

Also , I have it booked into the garage for an oil and filter change tomorrow. may as well get it sorted before summer 🙂
