    Evening All,

    What a Glorious day today - I had 3 large loads of washing out on the rope even the bulky stuff towels etc and they dried:j It is soooo nice to see the sun! The kids haven't wanted to take the car to school they've wanted to be up that little bit earlier and be walking to school which does them and me the world of good. Roll on next week for the 2 week break (love working term-time) :easter_ba, I need it . It will be sooo good to get some family days fitted in wandering around the parks, feeding the ducks it seems like a lifetime ago since we have done this.

    Hope everyone is well, I haven't caught up with thread yet, but hugs to all of those who need one :grouphug:

    I have re-arranged Pigpen's days to suit our house (which I think I said yesterday was a tip so did the worst 3 areas today, and will do Tuesdays (bedroom tomorrow, because that is not that bad). Here goes....

    What gets me is that he lives in supported accomodation and he is supposed to have a keyworker??!!!

    Ok and breathe....

    Do you have one to ones with his keyworker? I have a nephew who has mental issues and lives in supported accomm (and sometimes goes into hospital for a stretch). His keyworkers have regular meetings with his Mum (my sister) to discuss his case, welfare etc. Have you not had that opportunity? Maybe you should investigate it. That way you can discuss your concerns with him as well as find out what's going on from their side. Hugs xxxx
