Re: Carers Hints and tips to Success

Oh a Bubble Bath (Self-Soothing exercise) @Shaz51 I have not had a Bubble Bath in about 40 years.

Singing: "Check my Nails" - yep my nails are all Good (I know that Song)....

"Self-Soothing" - I once saw suggested (printed): "Paint your Nails a Funky Colour" (like Hot Pink) @Shaz51

I'm not sure if that applies to men (as well as women), maybe not....

Re: Carers Hints and tips to Success

Hubby's favourite self-care activities include making stuff (preferably fine fiddly work); and watching YouTube vids of other people making stuff. 🙂 There's one or two who have an enthusiastic following of (mostly) blokes who watch their vids as relaxation.. @Determined, I wonder if you'd enjoy "Clickspring"'s channel? https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCworsKCR-Sx6R6-BnIjS2MA

(If anyone wants, I could probably put up a whole list of blokey shed-therapy channels! 😛 )
