Red and white graphic featuring a megaphone on the left emitting text: "Carers Rights Day." On the right, two overlapping speech bubbles read, "Know Your Rights" and "Use Your Rights."

Today is #CarersRightsDay and we want all unpaid carers to know and use their rights

These can help you:
▪️ Access support
▪️ Juggle care and work
▪️ Look after your health and wellbeing
▪️ When the person you care for is coming out of hospital

Damn. Not getting any nice Christmas Cards from Etsy this year. Stupid B-word.

oooo.... have only started it (and just got interrupted halfway through episode so have had to pause.

Looks fabulous

Do pickles go on beef? I was going to have a jambon beurre, but I think I should use the beef before I open the ham.... What about cheese (just cheddar)? Does that go with beef?

Check out the Scotland gritter tracker site. Lots of good name on there (and can see where the gritters are)

Not sure this sums up my general knowledge level!!! Easy one for me today! 🤣

A man with a beard is smiling and pointing to a bandage on his upper arm. Text beside him says, "Do you look after someone? Ask about your free flu jab" with emphasis on the last part in red.

Taking the seasonal flu vaccine is the best way to protect yourself and the person you care for from flu

As a carer you are entitled to free flu jabs, book yours today:

A woman with braided hair and glasses smiles while hugging a boy in a striped shirt. Text on the left states: "The economic value of contributions made by unpaid carers in the UK is £184 billion a year." The Carers UK logo is at the bottom left.

Did you know that unpaid carers save the UK over £184 billion a year?

This #InternationalDayOfCare we're calling for better support to recognise the enormous contribution millions of unpaid carers provide to family and friends across the UK every day.

Three clowns sitting on various pumpkins surrounded by autumn leaves. Pumpkins are different shapes, sizes and colours.

Couldn't find the witches this year, so we went with clowns!

Kind of in the same vein: A grocer in my village always called me Miss Victoria all through my life. When I got my PhD he called me Dr Miss Victoria 😁His relatives who are a similar age to me also now call me Dr Miss Victoria (I didn't know they knew that until he passed away & we spoke).

Enjoy.

I had a checkup on Friday. I did that, though it was nearly closer to random. I think it was because I was distracted. The optician had asked me questions so I was trying to answer those while reading the chart at the same time.

Am N.Irish, a women & would blame Star Trek for me being an Electronic Engineer, thanks Scotty & Geordi. Am loving Strange New Worlds. Lots of people outside USA watch it. Aiming it at USA Republicans would not do well in the rest of the world. Why do they not know there is a world outside USA?!

Neal Caffray??

our phone number was originally 3 numbers. Then it got exciting by going up to 6 (but everyone in the town had the same extra 3 numbers), then another 2, and another 2. Big Region, Little region, town area, house.

I haven't noticed any issues. Use it on both my tablet & phone. Both are android.

That's in relation to carer's allowance in the UK, btw.

which means it is really frightening as to how little carer's allowance is today and how someone is supposed to basically live on it....

I thought my browser had closed itself and lost the tabs I had open...... i have since found that they are actually just hidden! No idea how many tabs I have 🤣

Crikey. Thats only 19p less than carer's allowance........

*hugs*

Ah, Green Onion!

Chives could be nice too. Scallions are not chives.
