No Lisa Marie but it means we are not going down without a fight. We are showing the politicians the depth of feeling about the injustices carers face.

Yes but that means nothing at all to them, they are too busy deciding how much of a pay rise they want to vote for themselves, to be interested in the billions that carers save them every year.

I do hope at least something will change for the better for all of you dedicated carers. I still won't get any finiancil help as my husband had to stop work suddenly six years ago and he is younger than me so because I am a pensioner I don't get carers allowance. My state pension is just 55p a week!!! My husband who I care for isn't pension age yet.
