its kinder to tell little white lies to your father,jeff-well that's only my opinion.At least you are there with your father ,looking after him.you are there every day.and he has been ill now I know roughly round about 18 months ago I know you raised your concerns about your father.

seen gp today cos the green inhaler didn't work.he's trying me with monteculast,but ive got to go back to collect it tomorrow.

I hope you feel a bit better after you were taken ill in the hospital,the porter kindly helped you.i apologise if there are any errors in my spelling but I was just getting back on my feet with my new anti-depressants.

then Sunday the loudest bang happened and well got to try and get me act together,so i'll just look at posts xxx look after your self here comes the sun by George Harrison is apt for me for members who don't know its a song composed by a member of the beatlesx take care Jeff.helenx

Thank you for the link, I get these heating allowances but find it difficult to explain how they work on occassions as one does involve declaring your pension income. Why are these things so complex I ask :)

Just received today a weird post which was to a year old post of mine saying my email would be passed on. Sounds fishy to me. I know i can delete but wonder if this is a crank. Maybe you could check?

It was just this came with my email address from health unblocked and could have been a bona fide response but contents strange and religeous and giving email address of a doctor who seems to have a miracle cure. I was not comfortable receiving it. The person sending it was wendyrose1.

Hi winfar I checked and it was spam so I have deleted it and restricted the user to stop any more of it until HU ban her/him from the site. Your email address was only involved because HU sent you a notification that your old post had received another reply. Don't worry, you were only at risk if you responded to the reply. :)
