    Hello, no I am here, just was finding Molly41 really. I cannot keep up with all the threads I read and subscribe to really!.
    I overspent in Mr T again. I am decided that I will go back to having a delivery from Mr A, as that will reduce my outgoings, as there will be no impulse buying and although I cannot fill the freezer with whoopsies, I will still be better off I am sure. If I have delivery in the beginning of the week it costs less.

    Today as we all know the Assessment report on twin1 is due to arrive at the social workers. I am hoping. and praying and keeping my fingers crossed that I will get a phone call, to at least give me an outline of its contents.

    I fear the worst, I hope for the best.

    I am off to the doctors now. I had to book a double appointment as there was too much on the list for my 3minutes last time!

    Molly41, I am hoping that tomorrow Twin1 will be here to help with DGD, and if so I may be able to nip out for a while of me time, if you fancy a cuppa and a natter. I will let you know.

    DGD has just managed another weewee in the potty, so applause all around.:T
    Lets hope she continues to progress, so we can think about the reduced nappy bill!!! Yesterday my main cost was nappies, for her, the new baby, and some drynite pads for DGS,s bed.! I did have some money off vouchers for some of them, saving me £3.50 but they still were a big expense.

    Right I better get her dressed, we are due at my Mothers in just over an hour.
    Its a 20 minute drive, if I end up behind a tractor.
    When I die I will know that I have lived, loved, mattered and made a difference, even if in a small way.

    could have done with a playpen, but now its too late, she would never take to it!
    The fire has gone out, i really need to get the kindling sorted out. But I cannot weild an axe for the life of me!.
    We have just had a bit of success with the potty, a poo too!!! lucky granny.
    Right time to get her dressed.
    I will have to ready up the rest of the things this evening probably. Aiming to have lunch with my parents and then go and collect Twin1.
    Hopefully we will then hear from the social worker..... Got butterflies in my stomach today.

    Well the answer is
    we have no answer!
    I left it till 12 oclock to call the Social Worker to find that she was off on her Annual Holiday. Lucky her!! Not so lucky us. I said that it was just not good enough. I asked to speak to her superior, but got side lined to a Duty Social Worker. He said that he would look into it. Give him his due he did. But the assessment report had apparantly been emailed to our Social Worker, and they cannot access her emails .(surely that could be dangerous in some cases?)
    So he is getting a copy sent to him, tomorrow. Except he is not on duty tomorrow!! He has said that he will try to get it to his line manager, but then he said that they would not be allowed to tell me the results anyway. That they would be waiting for our social worker to return to talk to Twin1. I said that as she had only met twin1 twice, twin1, (who is with me now), would not care who told her the results. That the whole family is awaiting these results. So just get us the results. We are all on hold until they do.
    I then went on to pour out the fact that its "killing me" and that I cannot carry on. I told him that if the answer is not favourable for my daughter that they will have to be considering the fact that I cannot carry on and that my eldest daughter may have to be assessed to take on the situation. I also said that it was a disgrace that I am left in this situation, and that they had a legal duty to assess me and my situation within 6 weeks of my caring for DGD. I also said that I will be complaining again. I said that if I was a childminder they would have been all over my home, but as I am family they havent even been upstairs to see if this is suitable! He said normal sympathy mumblings and thats it for the next week I suppose. !! I am so fed up.

    On another note at the doctors, I have a refferal back to Physiotherapy and a phone number to ring to ask for councilling.! As I will have gone mad very soon I am sure. We have upped my medication, filled in another questionnaire about depression and have to go back in 3 weeks.

    My son has been intouch on the MSN, but still has no job etc. When I ask him to try harder I get the I AM, in big letters. So I think that I better just back off and leave him to it. So I dont loose him totally. But I think that the fear of loosing this house could be more real then I had thought about it. As I cannot find the difference, and run a car. If I cannot afford to run a car, then I cannot live in a village with no proper bus service can I?
    So as you can probably tell, I am feeling very depressed today!
    When I die I will know that I have lived, loved, mattered and made a difference, even if in a small way.

    Actually it is a help. without this thread, or the responses from it, ithink I would have gone under a long time ago.

    At least twin1 is here now, so I can sort of relax a bit tonight. Let her do the bath etc for DGD, and even cook the pancakes.!
    Luckily I dont have any wine to drink, or I may have indulged too much!!
    Cups of tea keeping me going, in more ways then one.!! Is tea a dieretic?
    Anyway, there is nothing I can do really is there.
    I will be compiling my complaint to add to the list of complaints.
    I really have had enough.
    I havent heard anything back from This Morning, but I suppose they get masses of mail everyday.
    Neither have I heard from the MP, or the Head of Childrens Services. I havent even had an acknowledgement of my letter from the latter!.
    I think that I will have to find a Solicitor for me, not just the one we saw for Twin1. Infact Twin1 never heard back from her either! i am beginning to think that this country has really gone to the dogs.
    Unfortunately the lottery went to others, what I could do with just a few thousand!! A nanny, a nursery place. A cleaner. A home? But I dont have it, so whats the point of thinking that way.!
    There are jobs going in our local Mr T. Well in Brackley, at the checkout, I did think that it might be something I could do, but then realised my arm wouldnt take it, its quite repetative isnt it.? But that was me thinking that perhaps the end was in sight for getting some of my life back.
    When I die I will know that I have lived, loved, mattered and made a difference, even if in a small way.

    It never seems to end for you - I really do feel for you. I am so sorry for the position you find yourself in - the whole thing is a disgrace and I feel that if it were to be aired in the 'public arena' - people would be appalled at how you have been treated. I know this is no help to you but I want you to know how outraged I feel on your behalf.

    Have you thought about Daily M*il - they are always having a pop at the SS. I know you are probably low on energy at the mo to even consider it - but it may be worth it - if they took up your cause it would be fantastic for you. Maybe you coud just forward the This Morning email to them?
