I only have to do 32 hours a week to be entitled to carers but still! It works out around £2 an hour. It takes around an hour to sort out her meds. A good half an hour to an hour to sort the washing as they don't seem capable of putting clothes in right way or putting them in the wash basket. It takes about an hour to change bedding and I very rarely have help to put the quilt cover on and they have a king size bed... an hour, maybe more to fold washing. Then there's appointments, sorting letters, trying to get her to take her meds properly. I'm planning on doing some of it when I move out as I'll be here on a Wednesday night until I've passed my test, it can just be exhausting. Today for example, everytime I've tried to take my splint off, my wrist has started throbbing. I tend to still do stuff as I can't cope with medical top trumps
