Hi Cathie, you and Mike certainly do amazing. Yes I can imagine it must be hard at times and you need help for certain things so it's a shame you don't get all the help you need. I used to have a carer Anna but she was taken away from me because of all these dreaded cuts. It was such a shame and so sad. I still manage to go to all my clubs and dance though on my own as I have their transport so I'm very lucky I can still get out. Also I'm able to visit friends as long as I can get transport and they meet me so in some ways I am independent. Well I certainly do my best and I seem to be happy managing in the best way I can even though I wish I had the help to do more at times. Well I'm very happy Anna and I are still such good friends and we get together for a catch up at least once a month. We text regular it's lovely. Love Clare
