Guess what. Got the ba$tards on my CCTV, man walking across my garden to try the very well locked gates at the side, and a female coming onto the drive to look into the car to see if there was anything worth pinching (there wasn't), this at 5.30 on a Sunday morning. Police know who they are from the footage. They will be helping with their enquiries shortly.
We've had a spate of ram raids recently, 3 in the past week! 2 involved a jcb through a wall/window and ATM machines being taken

been awarded FULL (dont have to pay additional fees) respite funding for Mrs Bibs

which means Mr Bibs can go on jollys when he is better

only gripe is i only get 22 days a year but is split into two lots of 11 days allocation each 6 months. good news is i can split that into long weekends. even better news is that some care homes do pick up and drop off service which means i dont have to waste days with transporting Mrs Bibs

Great news. I know what a battle this can be, a friend went through this recently with his wife who suffers from MS.

I'm sure I'll have the same battle one day for my wife who also has MS but luckily I'm fit enough to look after her but that won't be the case forever.

the respite was the easy part.. its the Occupational Therapists/Fife Council who are causing me problems due to Mrs Bibs having unusual disability's and as such refusing to install the proper equipment in our home e.g. a bath with a permanent chair lift, their excuse is that they only fit wet room showers and not baths. the other is a suitable stair lift which Mrs Bibs is able to use herself, instead they want to cut a hole in my living room ceiling and put a lift in taking up fair old chunk of the space in my living room and upstairs bedroom.... ermm fek right off.

We approached the local council /therapist many years ago to get our house adapted. Their suggestions were awful and would have wrecked our house, plus the costs were ridiculous. We did it ourselves in the end and still have a nice looking home.

You can always spot the council adapted houses around here. Big ugly ramps of solid concrete with nasty metal railings.

Thats good. My mother got the 22 days of funded respite, but it's split into 44 half days.

She loves Mondays

Bibs, Good News indeed. Everyone needs a rest sometimes.


I hope you are on the mend too.
