It's supposed to be once a week at placement until reg 38 asessment is completed and been approved by panel.

Well they have failed on that one then. Last house visit I had was so long ago I cannot remember!. Nobody has even telephoned me about this case (until today), since the meeting we had in May, and the SW then hadnt been here since at least March. If then. I would have to read through this thread to see when that was!. I cannot be bothered to do that.!

Oh well I have struggled along and managed, and DGD is doing well. Nearly potty trained now. Talking so well, counting well and now wanting to write letters down. (Not holding pen well enough yet, but she is liking the letter "e" to do).

Now we are going to enjoy the sunshine.! xx
My broadband doesnt go outside the cottage walls. So time to read a book and watch her play.

Here we go, sorry Mums coming in. Twin1 has run out of electricity. Ran out of money due to problems last week remember! Do I help? How can I leave her with no electric in an all electric house? The little bit of food she has will go off. She is not due any more money till next week, not this week! So what can I do? She cannot cook, wash up, wash herself, etc etc she is scared of the dark for a start. I cannot encourage her to use a candle either.
So now I am in a delemma.

I have telephoned the other twins support worker, (dont know twin1's) and asked her to get the other one to contact twin1. I have told her I am trying to back off of helping the girls but am worried.

she could
a) try and borrow some money off her friends who were staying over
b) go and stay with one of her friends

(i think i am trying to say that i think you should let her get on with it and not go rushing to help)

The problem with a) is that there was trouble on Friday night with the same said friends turning on her, and threatening her. The Police were called and the twins and the BF ended up in Wales till last night. Now she has only her sister about. She is broke too. Until her money is sorted out. The Support Worker told me that she was trying to get the money sorted out last week, and that it was due into their account today. But it wasnt there.
b) no friend to go and stay with. Could possibly go and stay with twin2, except Social services dont really like that. But I shall suggest that. Perhaps she can take the food from her freezer up to theirs anyway. why didnt i think of that one?
Thanks:T

Is there any possibility that you can put money onto her key electronically? Then you could just phone the leccy co.

Or could you transfer £10 or so by telephone banking so it is directly in her bank today? I suppose it depends upon which bank she and you use. I know that with the Co-op bank, I've transferred money from my a/c to my sister's A & L a/c and its shown up whilst I was on the phone to her telling her that I'd done it.

Well it looks like I may have to do that!.
Bromford Support worker said that she would try and arrnge for her to get some money. but that it would take several days to come through. Mean while, can't you borrow £10 from your Mum!!
I have just got off of the phone to the Social Services.
What a frustrating and wasted time!
I have told the principle worker that I need help, why arent the adult services referrals being done. he told me I had to ring them myself!!!!
I have rung them.
They told me they will call me back regards myself. But I couldnt do anything about the twins!!!! There didnt seem to be anything on her system about the twins.
this is so rediculous.
what is the bl00dy point!
Who has been listening to me? Who has been doing anything after all of these meetings? Where did the referral go?

I am so fed up.
Now I have to see if I can sacrific anything we need to put any money the way of all the rest! Down the bl00dy drain!.

I am so angry.
I am so stressed.

Let the social workers sort it out. I'm sure that they will if they know that you are serious about not helping. Why would they go racing in to help her if they know that you will always be there to pick up the pieces?
On another note, why is your son still not working?

Becuase he is a lazy little so and so, and thinks that the world will adore him, take him in and he can freeload off of us. Oh I dont know. He hasnt even got his CV written up anymore.
then he blames everything on there not being work here etc etc etc

Social will not help.
I have tried. They are returning it too me all the time.
I have been crying on the phone, but they do not give a toss about my situation. Oh dear, call this number, oh dear speak to citizens advice, Oh dear, are they gttting the right help? I have had it all.

DGD has just woken up.
Got to go.

The social workers involved are for the children and carer not the twins who don;t have their children at present. They will not help financially in an emergency without the children living there.
You're left with the choice of lending her small amount of money or leaving her with no electric - this seems to be genuinely not her fault, so if you could find a little cash then maybe it would be Ok to lend her it this time - if she doesn't pay back then make it the last time.

I realise just how frustrating this is for you, Mooloo - but if you do it electronically at least you're not going to have to drive all the way over there and back again

But this has to be the last time - and they have to know it. Is Twin 2's bf capable of helping to sort both girls out? Or would that be fraught with dangers?
