    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.

    Yeah if things go to plan bookie, I'm not sure if she's going to get her head around staying somewhere without her family, so we'll see. She has been given 24 overnights a year, so 2 a month. Quite a few other kids from the school go there, and when I told her where we were going she kept saying 'no singing' 'christmas carols' so I think she must have been there over christmas time with the school.
    Thats not bad at all Toto.
    I have just been given direct payments they fund 12 hours a month and an extra 4 hours a week in the holidays, and pay 8.45 an hour. its a bit of a pain in the fact i have to employ them pay tax etc, but they fund a payroll lady to do the maths.
    but can i find a carer, can i heck as like.

    Linda - you'll find this funny...irony of ironies since I cant get a dentist nearby - I had an 8 page leaflet and a 4 page insert drop through my door yesterday to tell me not enough people in Westminster are signed up to NHS dentists!!!

    What a waste of money! Would be much better spent on making capacity where they need it and closing the ones that arent busy...

    Still worth doing to include it with any correspondance with the !!!!!! and it will show anyone that is involved, courts included that you are approaching this in the best way!

    I think one of the problems around here is the pct covers such a huge and diverse area that its difficult to get it right - my closest dentist with space is nowhere near my house but because its within Westminster council area then that counts as fine to them *rolls eyes*...

    Going to try the local one again anyway at lunchietime and see if they can squeeze me in ;)
