Happy Carers Week!

I make sure I have a life outside of my caring role. Hard to maintain that commitment to myself sometimes - but I try really hard.

I cope by catching up with my close friends - we have a  "Monday movie night". Every second Monday we go to the movies. Yes, sometimes there's nothing on that's particuarly interesting to any of us... but we don't care. We have made it a habit - so rain, hail or shine (metaphorically) we turn up for movie monday.

I have found some practical services have been useful for me... buying my grouceries online and having them delivered has been AMAZING. "Coles online shopping" should be on a list of mental health services. I can do it any time from my iphone or computer and not have to worry about it. Also - it saves your past shopping lists, so now that I've used it a million times, my shopping list is pretty much the same week to week.

 I've seen @PeppiPatty mention a few practical type of organisations - I think? (Correct me if I'm wrong)
