Thanks @Appleblossom 

Yes - I do care for myself and I would have loved someone local to drop in on regarding the "singles' bubble" thing - but yes - "a wall of words" is pretty accurate. I felt overwhelmed and when I have my own issues just listening and listening is too hard - and I have enough right now

Also - I have a letter from my doctor advising that with my severe osteo-arthritis I need to travel in the front seat - the taxi drivers are okay with it but my case worker has to investigate whether this is alright for the support workers - I think it's a easy question but apparently not - It needs to be checked out, signed, sealed, carefully rolled up and tied with a bow

I have to go to the shops tomorrow - I want to sit in the front seat - it is ridiculous because I having injections in the nerves to calm the pain from my stiff knee, back and shoulder and oh - I am not going to go into it but it matters a lot

Enough whinging though - I think I have a good reason not to answer the phone for this lady - wall of words - so well put

Thanks Apple
