Good grief woman, that's what blogs are for! Moan away - we all need somewhere to get grumbles off our chests.

We don't mind at all - and I'm glad you are coming to some sort of resolution you can live with. Have a good weekend.

I hope you can at least ring them and ask for an extension of time. They do make one so mad, I know. If any problems find out what their so called "Mission" (It is our mission to blah, blah, blah,........) is and then quote it back to them, cry real tears, demand to speak or see a Manager.

They are the servents of the people. It is not the other way around - whatever they think!!!

Just being Social Services - incompetent as usual. Though to be fair they usually are understanding when I ring them up.

Yes, same from me, too. Wifey.

Yes - It's not so pleasant living your life to satisfy an anonymous organisation which doesn't have a heart! Bloody frustrating usually.
I'm glad you kept your cool. A love of another human-being, in this case Aidan, is worth more than all the stress and anxiety. But I do not underestimate that stress, because sometimes it nearly destroys a relationship. Take Care.

Hope all can be sorted by you both.

Wifey.

Its saddning. How they measured it as your situation is worsening. I hope they review their decision and increase the time for care.

How awful, 29 houes doesn't sound anything like enough.
This is the formal appeal process. It is from Northamptonshire CC but I beieve they all work the same way.

You're too young for Age Concern to help but there should be a Citizens Advice Bureau nearby. Your specialist disability organisation (mine is The Stroke Association) may be able to help with support and advice. Good Luck.

Sorry to hear about this, my friend with mental health problems has similar trouble getting the care she needs. Hope your care worker reconsiders.

Did you get your carers sorted out?

I'm lucky that I don't need a full time carer, though I need help at times. But I help people who do and they often have similar stories. Hope you manage okay. It shouldn't be necessary.
