Well, hello and welcome, your post made me think about how much our experiences differ.
I've been posting on here since 2013 apparently so my profile shows, as a carer for both wife and then mum, doesnt time fly while your having fun and I don't turn 70 until next year and by choice I'm off to work in the morning since mother nature made me a now former carer.
Work still involves me having a DBS and CRB
Checks as it need to cover schools as well as "vulnerable adults" and some of the people we work for makes all my years as a carer seem so much worthwhile when they have no one else to care.
Don't ever think that what you're doing isn't appreciated by if no-one else is on here. K
