I am a grinch. I will be found in shops over the next few months muttering under my breath about the ridiculousness of Christmas coming earlier every year.

I walked past a pub on Friday. They're taking bookings for Christmas already.:eek:

Good news about the arrangements with your parents, Indie. Did you not get copies of the LA needs assessments to challenge the services offered.

We never got that far. I had a meeting with my then social worker at the end of 2012 who decided I needed a load of help. I was then passed on to someone who was meant to be my support worker. But she had no understanding of my needs. It didn't matter how many times I told her things like I don't like loud noises or crowds of strange people (please don't ask how on earth I've managed to play in a music group! I'm fine there) or that I needed a few hours warning at least of appointments, I was never listened to.:(

She and someone else did go as far to question my Autism diagnosis too. That was decided after 15 minutes. People who actually know me, will tell you different. She offered to take me to Mind for my "anxiety" and get counselling.

Ha ha! I've just speed read the last few days (I'm back home, totally knackered ) and thought this was a request for a video of escapee's birth, the first time I read it! :eek:

Good idea, JM! Katy?! Live updates from the delivery room please, streamed straight to Youtube! You may swear at me now.

Welcome home, JM! Hope you had a good week! We missed you!

BIL has already offered to film the birth and I politely declined!

jobbingmusician

I missed you too! xxxx I'm only sort of half back, though - need to GTB very soon. Then on Tuesday I'm supposed to be going to Canterbury for the day, and I'm back playing music again next weekend!

Waves_and_Smiles

Hahahaha! All joking aside I can see why you refused that, Katy! I'll settle for stop-motion photography *runs really fast*

You are always so busy, JM! It sounds like fun things, though! Do get a good nights sleep, it sounds like you need it!

Hi all
Katy how is littlesod? Bum pointing up is a good sign she's getting ready.
Flybaby hope your ok hunny?
Calley post if you want to we will miss you if you don't
Indiekid that's good
WaS how are you today other than bursting with excitement

Me - managed most of my smoothie today. Angry about Friday I shouldn't realise a customer service director doesn't like me and only insisted on meeting me to try and bully me into dropping action.
Upstairs have blocked us in all weekend meaning I haven't made it home (up north) today like I was due and my mobility has been poor.
Not sure of my next move.
Consultant next week should find out what tests their going to do at least then.

JM - has it been enjoyable? Are you looking forward to next weekend?

dragonette

*hugs for Melly* the HA sound so horrendous, I can't believe how badly you are being treated. Glad you've had some smoothie today - need the nutrition to fight those horrible HA people.

JM - hope you had fun


I'm taking a lil break from making contact with my others, just don't have the energy for it. Was at a friend's bday thing yest - didnt get home till 3am and I'm seriously paying for it in terms of fatigue, pain and mood. The flat seems overwhelmingly messy at night, yet during the day its ok. Must be mood related, or I need to change the lighting

Lighting change might help Dragonette.
I won't get the move I want despite enough medical evidence to sink a ship and the neighbours moving onto threats and threatening behaviour (he now charges downstairs and watches me whenever I leave mine) go two reasons they don't like me and it would be admitting they were wrong.

Have you tried ignoring then see if they speak then?

Does your mood change when it gets dark? Maybe daylight bulbs would help?
