DETAILS:

I am looking for somebody who is non-judgmental and who would ‘take me as you find me’ please.
I enjoy my garden and watching birds outside. Due to limited energy, I do not manage to go out very often.
I am on a high protein diet, so I eat meat etc. Due to having a low immune system the advice is to avoid infections, so therefore hygiene is most important.

Meal preparation to stock up freezer with main meals/lunches etc.
Vacuuming/dusting of house, hygiene clean of kitchen and bathroom areas, mopping of floors, changing of bed linen and some assistance with hanging out washing, occasional ironing needed.
Weekly food shopping. Sometimes buying groceries from a specialist health food shop in Norwich city centre.
Help me with a small amount of computer tasks, i.e. emails and online shopping, by typing and using a mouse for me. Help with paperwork: e.g. filling in forms, telephone calls for advocacy support etc. Maybe helping to choose some clothes for me from charity shops, car boot sales or jumble sales, with information from me beforehand!
I also need an occasional lift to enable me to visit a friend near Dereham.
