I am totally horrified that because he chose to come 3 and a half hours early I didn’t get my shopping. If the driver was ill or there was an emergency, the manager should have got my shopping to me with another driver or in a taxi.

@sainsburys Order ref 1249578005

At 2.30 on Friday, yes it’s not a typo but 2.30, 3 and a half hours before my delivery slot the driver tried calling on my intercom, leaving 5 messages. I was unable to pick up the calls as I was teaching a class of 5 and 6 year olds.

[Vicky @Vicky75409094]

So I called your helpline, I was horrified and disgusted to find out that my delivery wouldn’t be coming. Because the driver had turned up 3 and a half hours before my booked slot I had lost my delivery. I was told that I could go to the store to pick it up

@bridgegaplarge @Blond3bra1ny @Janroweljmu They were intent that dad should go home even though mum was seriously ill and couldn’t care for him. Dad was running away all the time. At one point I said that if dad was self funding he would be able to go into a home, all the drs agreed apart from SW.

[Vicky @Vicky75409094]

@bridgegaplarge @Blond3bra1ny @Janroweljmu Me too! It took a 6 month battle with SS and us having to say that we couldn’t have dad at home. Then 2 places offered; 1 miles away who I later found out would have only kept dad for 6 weeks and the other 1 I was physically sick when I came out. It’s not easy when you rely on ss

@Blond3bra1ny @Janroweljmu Dad also worked all his life and was still working 7 days a week when diagnosed with dementia at 80.

[Vicky @Vicky75409094]

@Blond3bra1ny @Janroweljmu Not true for every home. Dads home in London charge £1400 week dementia care. Council pay £1300 (no discount), dad pays £830 monthly from his state pension and I pay £100 per week. Only place I wasn’t physically sick at with spaces. Luckily the staff are wonderful

[Vicky @Vicky75409094]

@Keir_Starmer Not for me. Been waiting since 17th February. Got referred under 2 week wait, was seen that week. After 2 attempts to get biopsy 3 weeks apart, I’m waiting on more tests and drs appointments but weeks away. I’m told that they are concerned it is cancer. Waiting is awful

@BBCPolitics What if you struggle everyday to get up and go to work and achieve that most of the time but work don’t understand the real issues with mental health? Work policies mean even 8 days off in a year over 2 periods places you on an absence warning. Got to solve the whole problem.

[Vicky @Vicky75409094]

@SkyNews @BethRigby Cannot believe @BethRigby asking Zelenskyy if he will apologise to Trump. After the welcome he received from us yesterday this has played right into Trumps hands. Why should he apologise?

[Vicky @Vicky75409094]

@Shrink_at_Large Problem, if you are in work, have even 6 days off over 2 times then you get an absence warning, first step of sacking you. If someone is suffering long term illness how will they work in that system. If people are too sick to work they should be supported

[Vicky @Vicky75409094]

@Keir_Starmer I brought a beautiful shared ownership flat 11 years ago. Now, with the continuously rising costs of bills, mortgage, rent, service charges and being single, I really don’t know how long I can afford it. May have to move back with my mum.

[Vicky @Vicky75409094]

@jim_crawfurd This is my parents local hospital. That corridor is chaos with patients being treated there and used for ambulance admissions. Doesn’t show the numerous rooms or hell of the waiting room. Problem is all a&e’s around were closed so everyone is forced there.

🎄23rd December🎄

DAY 23 of my Digital Advent Calendar - I’m spotlighting @CADBrent

They envision a dementia-friendly borough of Brent.

“We’ve had a number of conversations to define what a dementia friendly borough looks like and we continue to talk until we get this right.”

[Vicky @Vicky75409094]

@DawnButlerBrent @CADBrent CADBrent are absolutely amazing. My family would not have survived without them. From activities, dementia cafes, carers groups to navigating the broken support system. They always go above and beyond to help families and are a shining light in the darkness of dementia

[Vicky @Vicky75409094]

@MartinSLewis Caring for someone has a huge impact on life. I’ve been trying to stay in my job and care for my elderly parents, one with dementia by myself. £80 per week is not enough to live on, work not entitled to paid carers leave. It’s a struggle to survive , not knowing which way to turn

[Vicky @Vicky75409094]

@CADBrent @CNWLNHS @Brent_Council Absolutely amazing 🌟 Well done everybody 💕

[Vicky @Vicky75409094]

@Mikeo56977865 Social Services are absolutely useless. They leave you until you are in total crisis and then you have to fight and battle for what you need. I hope that you get contact this week

[Vicky @Vicky75409094]

@savororaidh I’m at the other end with my dad who has dementia. Our LA SS have let us down profoundly and continue to do so. Begging for help but keep getting turned down. Had to fight tooth and nail and still not getting care or support from them. It’s what they want not what is needed

[Vicky @Vicky75409094]

@Siobhan_ODwyer @UKLabour @wendychambLD @RLong_Bailey @EdwardJDavey @annalouisedixon Social Services let down carers and their loved ones constantly. The NHS, police and charities have all been so supportive but SS is an utter mess. Been crying out for help for a year and had to battle so hard that I’m truly broken and scared for the future 💔
