Thanks to @BailliestonCare for the invite and @scottishcare for a great night. Had a fantastic time celebrating our nomination for Care Provider of the Year - well deserved!
It was a pleasure to host the @scottishcare care at home and housing support awards last night along with @LadyM_McManus. Congratulations to all nominated and who won but every #homecare staff member is worth an award given the last 2 years. Thank you. #careawards22#homecare22
So nice to be able to attend the latest @BailliestonCare directors meeting today in person and what a welcome! Plenty to discuss and action. Also a chance to meet new team leaders in training, a look behind the scenes and staff working hard to keep things running. ๐๐ป #socialcare

This sounds truly horrifying. Rumours of fatalities.
Whilst thereโll be a lot of speculation, letโs wait for further confirmation of facts.
Thoughts go out to everyone affected by it, and the emergency services dealing with it. #Glasgownews.sky.com/story/armed-polโฆ
Depressing thread on jobs you had in past where you earned more than you do now if youโre on Carers Allowance:
Henry Healy, counter asst (1984)
Part time sales in Chelsea Girl & Debenhams (1987 to 1993 - during study)
Temping, Employment Service. (Summer 90-93)
#RealCarersWeek
Today marks 4 years since the attack on #Pulse in Orlando. We remember all of those who lost their lives in the devastating attack, and will keep them in our hearts and minds โค๏ธ divamag.co.uk
So right! I used to have a job, with a good salary where I felt valued. I gave that up for my husband who makes me feel valued however #Carers Allowance is an insult to what I do now especially with the effect on my mental health. TY for highlighting @kazzyannie1 ๐ #CarersWeek
I donโt need self-care, I need to be earning the national UK minimum wage. My job is 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, for which I get paid ยฃ67.25. That equates to 40 pence an hour. I used to work full time.

I've just realised I'm going to miss hearing from @NicolaSturgeon at 12.30 every day. Yes, I know when it stops it means #covid19 will have been "beaten" but still...who's going to keep the journos and Westminster on their toes?! #StayAtHome
