Haha no I think it does about 10. However I reckoned if I carry 2 spare batteries I might just finish

Unfortunately we have spent a lot of time with Celia again today. She is so so poorly. The emergency doctor has visited but is reluctant to admit her to hospital. All the hospitals seem to be on black alert, the highest, there are no beds anywhere.

Wellllllll bit of an update on the phone saga...I went into my gmail account to check on it, and there is a message from AVG anti theft on it - completely forgot I'd done that - and it is telling me the sim card has been changed to another one, gives me the serial number, and the new provider, and even provides a map showing where the phone is and it is around my house somewhere. Been onto the police who are absolutely made up with this, the woman on the phone says she's going home to find out about it, and said to me it had been worth every penny to do it, and I said oh not paid for it, got it as part of the AVG security package, so she said even bettter. Waiting for the police now, said to her wish I could put one of these in the dogs, never have to worry again would I

Oh Nippy, so sorry about Celia. What happened with the Social Services, is there any care in place for her at all.

Nothing June. It is "being" arranged. Thats a week now.
Her sister and I have been doing it between us. She is making a 60 mile round trip each time.
Neither of us are complaining it's just that we feel we are alone and not necessarily doing the best for her.

yeah, thats what I thought would happen, they know shes not abandoned and they will drag their feet accordingly Does Celia have attendance allowance at all, it could help pay towards a carer coming in.

Nippy, i am sure you have already done this, call MacMillan, they are fab and can help gee up SS, i do hope Celia can get the help she deserves
ooooo that is good TW, are the police coming to find the phone?

No nothing like that. She has deteriorated very quickly.
We will have to make some forceful phone calls tomorrow

It is wrong that she has been left without professional support, must be aa strain on all of you

police not been yet, but amusing myself by activating the 'shout' mechanism every few minutes. The phone is on this row somewhere, and from where the arrow is I've got a feeling if its not next door its within a few houses.

AGE Uk are good Nippy Jen especially with advice they helped me lots with mum.
Curiouser and curiouser June re: the phone.
