Re: A long rave
Hey @Adge you'll be on my mind tomorrow for sure. You're probably in hospital already to prep for it. Hope the mix-up with contradictory instructions has been sorted. Take care buddy. Hope the surgery is a great success and you get some relief from it.
@Flying_Hams this afternoon's been very lazy - watched telly for a few hours. Resting my foot after yesterday's flare up.
Thanks for the encouragement to you and @frog and @Zoe7 Zoe I'm in the Hunter region of NSW with several new cases over the last week. Nearly all related to people who've visited from hot-spots elsewhere. Taking extra precautions anyway - hopefully if enough people do so we'll avoid an exponential spread like in Vic. Really feel for anyone in Melbourne or surrounds - I've a feeling you might be in the midst of all that.
Take care all xx

Re: A long rave
Hey @Shaz51 With what I know about your situation caring for your mum as well as your husband it seems to me you should be eligible for the carers pension, not just the allowance. When I was in a carer role what my Dr did was fill out both applications for me and we put them both in so c'link had enough evidence and had to make the decision which to grant themselves. Worth a shot I reckon. Best of luck with it. I think the main criteria is about how many hours a week/day you are actively caring for one of them. And what level of care they need. Good on you for getting your tax sorted. I hadn't heard about your fall so I hope you recover swiftly.

Re: A long rave
Oh @eth I thought you were in Victoria - sorry Hon - got that mixed up along the lines.
I am not in Victoria either - safe and secure in Tassie where we have been able to isolate and keep it to a couple of small regions before eliminating altogether.
It is about 4 degrees here tonight though and the power has just gone out. There have been storms around so it seems one of those has knocked out our power - going to be a cold night.
