    Toto, could you email them and say that you will be calling them to discuss and maybe see if they can come to some kind of compromise?

    Oh just bleeding life being a pain. I thought I was getting all sorted to start a new life, but nothing is ever easy is it. Amber's holiday club have decided to just casually drop me an email to say that they don't want her there full time anymore. Not a problem if you have a mainstream child, but when you have one with special needs no one wants them during the holidays. Plus, it takes months to sort out the 1 to 1 funding from social services, not much good when you have a months notice.

    I am supposed to be starting the course on 20th July. I have agreed with my childminder that she can take Lily with her to her current full time job, but she just can't take Amber as well. !!!!!!.

    To tell you by email is cowardly and their reasons sound flimsy to say the least.. I would ring them and at least voice your disgust at the way this has been handled..(and make an official complaint).

    I wish I could help in some way :grouphug:

    I might do tomorrow Sally, right now all I've got the energy for is to sit and cry and feel sorry for myself. It's days like this I wish mum were still alive, if nothing else she'd kick my @rse and tell me to pull myself together :)

    Don't cry Toto. I just don't know how you cope with it all - been reading your diary thingey.
    Is there someone you can phone for a chat? OH is away isn't he?
  • I would definitely complain Toto, that is awful. So the school run the sun club thing then?
