Oh, Aisling, 3 grand? That just sucks. They are an absolutely disgraceful shower of messers.
It'd be wonderful if you got a job quickly. Don't give up hope on that. T's excellent NH care and your ongoing love, care and input can move mountains. You've shouldered so much already. A part time job is well within range.
I hope you enjoyed your coffee and company, God, you so need and deserve that smidgen of respite and time for yourself. Does your friend do manicures and hairdos? That'd be just the ticket.
Hugs.
Ps just thought of another little bit of new news. Discovered friend plays draughts!! Had board set up! Play by myself!! Yes by myself!! 3 moves this evening and leave it till next time. I lead a totally exciting life.
Well Spain n Portugal on Sunday night.
