Just had another catch up as I was up at 6am this morning as it was too hot in bed and i've already done some tidying up in the garden. I've really enjoyed it but sad to see that the number of people posting is falling. I'll try and post more often but don't know where the time goes. I still run the Litherland History Society and that keeps me busy. We have monthly meetings with some very good Speakers this year., and our numbers have gone from 10 or 12 when I started to 30 to 40 lately. Must be doing something right and have 72 email members and about 20 without. I am hoping to finish the end of the year and just stay as a member who can help out with research.

If it wasn't for Norma posting and the few regulars who reply, the messageboard is moribund, Eileen.

Well done in keeping the LHS active, and good to hear to numbers are up

Norma I worked for Sefton Social Services in Home Care started as a home help as it was, then we became carers not just shopping and cleaning. We were trained to assist people to bath/shower, get out of bed, sometimes with hoists and with two people when needed. I then became a senior and visited new clients and checked on the care they were getting. Then I was a Supervisor arranging the carers calls and dealing with clients needs. I was then a NVQ assessor for all of South Sefton enabling carers to pass the tests. Then Sefton was passed on to private care and we were offered redundacy, a move to private or a different job with Sefton. So I then went to work in the office for the Community Care Store, who provided all the equipment needed for the needy and elderly, bath lifts, walking aids and rails in the home, this also included children or anyone who was needing help to remain in their homes. I was there for six years after working till 65 and was employed overall for 32 years with Sefton. You can't tell me anything that I haven't dealt with.
