Thanks for your concern about us, both of you, but don't worry too much, we're used to it now and know we have to avoid getting depressed. I think the experience of having run our own business for 20 years helps too. It makes me wonder how some others cope when they have less experience of dealing with `authority' and organising people to get the best outcome.
We received an electricity bill for my dad's flat today. That'll be one thing less to deal with when he goes into a nursing home. The bill has gone up and up in the three years he's been in the Extra Care flat, we think because he leaves the bathroom light on and there's a powerful fan going continuously. It isn't the money that's a problem so much as having to track everything. There have been all the payments for carers and others such as chiropodist, hairdresser etc. Again, we're not saying he shouldn't have to pay but he can't handle money and we have to find ways of paying everyone and checking he's not being over-charged. I have to thank Mrs Tiz for doing a wonderful job of that - she's a `natural' at dealing with accounts and, again, the business experience helps.
