Hello, I’m new here. I’m carer for my OH who has multiple illnesses/disabilities. We live in a Kent with our two Westies and I also care for his mum as and when I am needed.
Am exhausted most of the time but it is what it is, lol.

Hi @Ell and how are you today? Glad to hear that you get some support in your carer's role. My husband is my carer so I know what fantastic work carers do. I'm sorry to hear about your mother-in-law's fall. I hope she makes a full recovery soon. Your Westies sound lovely!0

Hi Ails, I’m good today thanks. Because I didn’t have to look after mum in law, I’ve been catching up with bits of housework like descaling the kettle and wiping down woodwork. Such excitement!1
