Repite Care

Are you caring for someone, be it an elderly relative, friend or neighbour?

If the answer to this is yes, then you will be familiar with the dilemma of what to do when you want to go on holiday. Well here is a solution for you; there is a company that provides respite care. Lets face it we all need a break, so Richmond Retreats have 3 villages in Oxfordshire, Gloucestershire and NorthamptonshireThere are a number of options and care packages tailored to the individual needs of the person who you are caring for. So not only do you get a well deserved break but they do too. If they want to they can visit the onsite spa.

For those of you who are a bit cynical about Richmond Retreats and dismiss it as another old folks home, STOP! This is more like a small village where the residents can either live in a cottage/apartment or they can have a suite in the main building, depending on the level of care that they require.

Pedometer

I recently bought a pedometer from Lloyds pharmacy and I thought I had got a bargain a pedometer for £2 fantastic. Unfortunately it was a nightmare to set up, the instructions were confusing and if you pressed reset so that you could count the number of steps you do each day it reset everything so went straight back to square one. This made me reluctant to use it everyday because I didn’t really have the time to set it up every morning.

The best thing I can suggest is to have a look around and find a pedometer that is simple and easy to set up and has options that mean you can reset the number of steps done each day. I have since found one that is perfect for me.
