No flying done here.
Thankyou all for your lovely replies about my Nan unfortunatly after spending most the day on the phone trying to get her help I have been told that because she needs help with making her bed,getting some shopping and just a few jobs around the house there is nothing social services can do as they wont fund this help.(Nan told them she managed to get dressed herself even though she also said it took her a while as she was struggling)
So have arranged for a friend to go in today and tomorrow and I will go there on friday and if she needs more help will have to try and sort something while I am there. Once my Grandad returns which will be a week friday social services will then put in place a care package for his care and to help my nan but nothing before.
I am shattered but now need to get sorted so we can leave early friday also got education people coming round tomorrow about DS as playschool are looking at inclusion for him????
ajmoney congrats :T:T:T:T
Haven't caught up on rest of thread going to get kids into bed have a bath and then plan tomorrow.:jmember of the thrifty gifty 2011 :j0 -

Have just gone back to check my washing machine to see if the load was finished and realised the flippin liquid capsule is still sitting on the side....instead of in the machine where it was supposed to be.
One load of rinsed washing is almost done.... *****INSERT ROLL EYES SMILIE!!!******Sometimes lurking, sometimes posting, but always flying
