Yesterday lunchtime's carer asked if I thought I still needed carers to come in and I said that I did, but I've got through today without a carer and I've been safe and coped OK and even had a solid lunch instead of my usual mug of soup.

All I really need is someone to say "have you got washed yet?" which would prompt me to get washed and changed if I hadn't already.  I just need someone to remind me is all and knowing that I've got a carer coming to spend 18 minutes with me before leaving for her next client is all that has been needed so far.

I'm into the routine of having a bath after lunch on a Saturday 'cos I know that I'll be around people on the Sunday and I don't want to stink... I just need a similar motivation each morning is all.

I'm into a routine now so I'm wondering if I really do need them after all now?
