A new start for Mooloo

SDG31000

Hello Mooloo, I'm a longtime reader of your threads and have been egging you on from the sidelines, as it were. I have felt compelled to post just to tell you that you have no reason at all to feel angry with yourself in any way. You have done a fantastic job and battled your way through problem after problem, never giving up. Whatever you decide to do I know it will be what is best for everyone, and if that means putting the babies into foster care, you will have no reason to feel guilty. Making yourself ill while coping is going to be bad in the long run for everyone. Please go and enjoy every second of your holiday and know that you have lots of people who would be more than happy to picket social services and bang a few heads together on your behalf.

Take care and good luck.

I have just managed to get a meeting with a law firm next Wednesday. So that I can start to get my side of things covered, and if necessary see if they will have someone who can fight for the twins things.
I have to take any paperwork that i have about the care orders etc etc But at the moment its something to sort out and aim for.

I feel so drained, and the parking fine on top has just driven me to distraction
£70 sounds so high and harsh. apparantly I overstayed by 28 minutes. I thought that I was only a couple of minutes over and didnt really think anything of it. I am in a "I hate the world" mood at the moment.

Still no call back from the duty
social worker, does that surprise me? No.
Does anything surprise me these days.? Not a lot.
All I want to do is have a duvet day, and hide, crying into my pillow!. But of course I cannot.
I do not know what else to do today. I am really in a turmoil. Heart and head all mashed up.

Write an appeal for the parking ticket, explain that you are unwell and that you had had your grandchildren 'dumped' on you the previous night and appeal to their better nature. It can't hurt ...

Also lots of info on the Parking board if you want to appeal it further.

Mooloo I suggest you get over to the Parking tickets and fines board. With any luck some clever bod there will be able to tell why the fine isn't valid. Worth a shot!

Repeat after me: It is not my fault that the powers that be chose not to listen to the warnings they were given, that was their choice.

Oh Mooloo,
70 quid is harsh. Is it the one in Northampton or Banbury? I would appeal - explain that you are disabled and that it takes ages to get your shopping. Its worth a try!

Im so sorry that there is no response so far from SS. Its just not on! I am glad that you managed to find a solicitor - well done. I know its not easy for you to get to the lap top at the moment. Find little things today that comfort you. Its what I have to do when feeling overwhelmed. The view out of your window, a cup of tea, music on in background, a sit down when DGS and DGD go for their sleep. Take your pain killers ontime - set your phone to alarm to remind you. Can I do anything today? Hugs xx

Have you spoken with adult services about your needs?

Hi Mooloo

Sorry my first post to you is going to be a quick one but I'm on a tight schedule today.

I just wanted to let you know that if the parking ticket is from a private company you need not pay it. Have a look on this part of MSE for more info.

in a word No. Cannot get the twins adult services and cannot seem to get a reply when i ask about me. Need someone to refer me but thats seeming a distant dream at the moment.

Will look at the parking fines stuff tonight. One night to peruse will help.

I have been popping on and off of here a bit like a drug addict needing a fix!
Probably cos I just want to shout from the roof tops that life is just not fair!
Not that it will do me any good.
I am leaving it till 12.30 to see if the SS get back to me, if not, I will call again.
Just done lunch for the kids. Will change nappies and see if we can get them down for a sleep. Which is always a struggle and they are so heavy. Thank goodness Twin1 is still here. DS is here but he is not exactly helping at the moment.

Your GP or your OT can refer you as well as self-referring. I would suggest a quick call to both stressing the urgency as your health is being affected by the demands being placed on you by children's services. Also a quick e-mail to your local council (via customer service desk rather than direct to SS) copied to your councillor asking why you have not had any response.

Don't rely on one single department, get everyone involved.
