Mam's deferred homecoming

I was expecting Mam to come home today.
However, this has apparently been deferred to later in the week when the care package has been reinstated.

• How much is this care package costing per month?
• How much would matters be helped if she did not have the £303 per month payment to Barclays for that loan she had to take out four years ago to pay off various debts? If that boil could be lanced, it may be easier to manage here before the place comes available at LSoP.
• Are we still using the Care Alarm service? I'm not sure this is good value for money.

How aware is Mam that when a place at LSoP becomes free that she will need to sell the house to finance the place? Has anyone explained this to Mam?

I may not be here much longer. I had a very positive interview by telephone with a company in South Yorkshire this morning. They are aware of my back problem and want to keep in touch with me as I was the best candidate they've found so far in two months of searching.

Phone call

At around 15.45 today the telephone rang and I picked it up. I'm sure this wasn't a machine-generated call. The caller said nothing and replaced the receiver after a long pause and 1471 revealed the number to've been withheld.

We need to be careful that the house is not left empty for long. Thieves are very good at casing the area - they have eyes and ears everywhere (schoolkids, black-economy workers etc). This is has again got me to thinking about replacing the back kitchen door - but what's the point if the next occupant replaces it?
