What? IF Sarah is claiming for beddy then that’s one thing - but why do you think people shouldn’t get an allowance for being a carer to their relative? Some people have to give up work and still have all the bills and expenses they had while working, they don’t stop and the bills don’t cease just because your relative is sick. Not to mind they are saving the state an absolute fortune by doing the dirty work and not asking for home help or going down other avenues. I’ve never read anything so ridiculous.
I have no idea what Sarah is claiming, she’s a geebag either way - but please think about who your comment could offend. There are many genuine people out there doing the hardest thing in the world, caring for a sick family member, their lives on pause, and getting pittance for it.

“Mammy is up the pole to avoid going on the dole”
That’s the face of genuine grief, ladies and gentlemen.That’s the face I make when I stuff my hand into the Pringles can only to discover I’ve already demolished them all.
Yer love story is your favourite Sarah is it? The one where you hooked up with him while you were about to go down the aisle to someone else and the same love story where Keith proposed on a dirty floor upstairs in your bedroom after a night of drink with a Pandora ring that’s 2 sizes too small? A real love story alright, we are all so jealous

Dear diary,Sorry to hear, its not fun so make sure you look after yourselfI always found writing diary entries pretending to be Sars helped me . I did. Didn't I? I did
I had a shower this morning buttttt didn't wash my hair cause it's raining so what's the point.
The cushions look better than ever, I'm weak.
The insta room is organized.
I made the bed, didn't bother changing the sheets cause the 3 months aren't up yet.
Made a fab high cal dinner
The End

My husband is a carer to 2 very elderly family members. He had to give up work and now gets about 264 a week for 24 hour care. We haven't had a holiday in years as he has no one to look after them while we are away. He has to lift them in and out of bed. Clean them as they are incontinent and do everything for them. He is saving the government an absolute fortune in nursing home fees. And the fight to even get carers was ridiculous. We had forms to fill in, letters from doctors and even a visit from social welfare to make sure the family members needed the care. These are people in their 90s with early onset dementia. I agree that burps is milking the system but please don't tar everyone with the same brush.

Couldn’t resist tweaking this pic - was a piss take of Enoch’s family. Must be something in the Burke name

We, husband and I care for our 6 year old. As she's getting older her needs are a lot more. Believe me I can account for every cent of that 230 euro a week . One physiotherapy session is 120 euro. She has 3 sessions a week at the moment. That is private all because we would have to wait 2 years before my daughter could get a HSE physio. Neither my husband or I are social welfare scroungers and believe me I wish we didn't need that money and my daughter was like most 6 year Olds. My husband travels abroad a lot , could be gone 15 to 20 days a month. I then have our daughter 24 hrs a day. Which is a blessing and I wouldn't change a thing since she's been born we've had 5 years and 11 months of sheer happiness since she came into our lives. Feb I had to give up work, to be a full time career not because I don't want to work, But because our daughter means more to us then money and if we didn't care for her. She would be in a home.
I understand people think she's your daughter as a parent that's your job. Yes it is. 24/7 she is with us we wouldn't have it any other way. I had our baby boy 16 th Feb here at home, because my husband was in Germany working and couldn't get home couldn't afford another flight if I'm honest. Baby was born at 8 :30 am 16th Feb I was bathing my daughter at 7 pm that night , while he lay still in a cot. I'm not looking for sympathy and wouldn't have mentioned it at all only that it needs to be understood that anyone who cares for someone who needs constant help gets no break. But I wouldn't change a second of the last 5 years 11 months.
So please think before you write stuff like above. Caring for adult or children is a 24 hour 7 day a week full time job , hard work , long hours , falling into bed at 1 , 2 , 3 am or still up as the sun comes up because maybe that day was a particularly hard day for those that we as careres are caring for.

Hi burbs 
Someone sent you a message by mistake, translation; you read here and needed to make sure we all knew you didn't drink last night just to add to speculation about you. And also if you had been drinking and acting a bit silly , we have all done that, but you act like a ejjit when sober so thats more embarrassing to be fair
