    It's hammering down here.

    I've only been out once today,it took us almost an hour to get to the retail park because there'd be a car crash at the bottom of the hill and Mr Teigr decided to avoid it by taking off along a single track road.

    On the plus side I guess we did see a bit more of the world.

    @SunflowerValley

    I feel the same about parents and family (I live at home)! I feel like my parents are bound to me almost. I come away with them all the time on short breaks and things, but sometimes I wonder if they would sometimes like a holiday on their own???

    Similar to you my Mum gave up work, there were a few reasons but looking after me I think was a big one.

    I'm told I do contribute, if I was able I probably would work as an accountant or something so I do the best I can which is to advise/manage relatives' money and I do invest the family money to provide the family with extra income/capital gains … and also I do little bits like I'm the go-to person for everyone's computers and things when they go wrong 😆

    I think it's about finding something you do, to make yourself feel better about yourself. There is obviously something you do otherwise, to put it bluntly, your family wouldn't have you! It might be something that seems insignificant to you like just being there to listen to them or giving them emotional support but maybe identifying that thing would be a good idea

    I need to go to the shop now but will see everyone later or maybe tomorrow😊 have a good evening everyone!!

    @66Mustang I live at home too. I think they probably like you coming on holiday but maybe in the future they would like to go on some on their own but they probably don't mind.

    My dad goes to work and my mum stays at home. She gave up work to look after me and my siblings but now that we are all nearly adults I think she would like to work. But because I need her to look after me 24/7 she can't work.

    Sometimes my mum needs a break but she can't have one because she is the only one who looks after me. Which can sometimes result in my parents having a disagreement because my mum is always so drained (which can make her irritable). Which then means I feel bad because I feel like it is my fault and feel like a burden. But I know they love each other and they love me which is why they look after me.

    I can't really help them which makes me feel more bad.

    See you later!

    Oh wow @rubin16 excellent photo! We also had a double rainbow, which was lovely to see, but I'm a rubbish photographer. 😆

    I won't tag everyone individually, but I hope everyone had a great evening and is feeling good today. ❤️

    @Nicebrit what car are you getting???

  • Nicebrit
    Nicebrit Community member Posts: 179 Empowering

    Hybrid Peugeot e3008 - already had test drive, dealer said he had already ordered two in, week before last, and were in transit. Just hope I don't have to wait too long. It's a lush car , I find it funny that they're called hybrids, as I watched Sweet Tooth, so reminds me of that, so will have now have to name it Sweet Tooth or after a character from the series 😊

    Will be my first ever mobility car 😊

    @Nicebrit

    That's a nice car, I hope you enjoy it and have lots of happy motoring in it

    The scheme is brilliant, they do everything except put the petrol in (of which you won't need to do very often, what with it being a hybrid)

    I'm on my 2nd Motability car!

    I tried other ones they had, but too low down, this is just the right size, 😊 just hope the dealer was being honest with me about it being here around mid July.

    Yes, thats the good thing with mobility, everything taken care of, I don't have a review till 2029 so I can get another car 2027 😊 But will keep money by just in case, may not even be driving by then.

    What car do you have?

  • 66Mustang
    66Mustang Community member Posts: 14,985 Championing

    @Nicebrit I have a Mini 😊

    If you have someone who drives for you you can still have a Motability car for them to drive you around in, if that's an option if/when you have to give up driving

  • Nicebrit

    love minis, but too small for me 😊

    Never thought of that, thank you for the heads up 😊
