We've 15... Now that I've a bit of time on my hands I must try to resurrect THE LIST, it disappeared one time when I had laptop problems. Mind you there are 659 pages to plough through and collate, heedthebaa will have probably caught up with me in the grandchildren stakes by the time I get it done...

Was this at Broadwood? We had 2 constantly flying about us in the home stand. It's obviously that time of year! Even in Mönchengladbach yesterday when I was having lunch one of the wee b*****ds kept flying around me. Poor choice to have ordered a Fanta probably! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacksgranda Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 The youngest grandson goes to a specialist school in Belfast, which has brought on his speech by leaps and bounds. He travelled up and down by taxi (paid for by the education authority, afaik. There may have been another child who travelled with him, I'm not sure). He starts back tomorrow. The only problem - no taxi. The education authority have withdrawn/not renewed the taxi contract. No replacement firm has been announced, unless it comes through tomorrow. His mother is going to have to ferry him up and down to Belfast. No doubt tomorrow is an early finish to break them in, so it may not be worth her while coming home. And on Wednesday the youngest child starts play school. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully your daughter can make it work. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know all the details, so I'm not sure whether the service has been axed altogether or the replacement isn't in place due to incompetence. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My granddaughters travel to school was totally fucked up last year. They tried with one big bus, the travel started 43 mile away, picking 5 kids up, they got to school at 11.30 ffs, 2 1/2 hours late. It was resolved quite quickly though, after the parents went off it. Penny pinching at its worst 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Penny pinching at its worst That's ridiculous, but the only way to make a 43 mile journey like that work would be picking up the first one circa 7.00 am, I would have thought. Noah was getting picked up round about 7.30 ish for his trip to Belfast, as far as I mind. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The kid from Galashiels journey must have been horrendous, first on, last off. Get his mum to get a stink kicked up !! It’s the only way they listen, hopefully you get it sorted 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s the only way they listen, hopefully you get it sorted I'm hoping there will be a text/facebook message tomorrow stating the taxi will pick him up at such and such at time. Or at least the service will be recommencing on Tuesday. As you say a change to the routine just throws everything up in the air. The young adult we cared for used to get his medication at set times (naturally enough, most medication is prescribed that way) and if I went to give it to him 5 minutes early he quite often refused to take it, until the "correct" time. Routine is king! Edited September 1, 2019 by Jacksgranda sllepnig 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacksgranda Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 They'd bother enough getting him into this school, and as I say it has brought his speech on wonderfully, it would be a disaster if he could no longer attend and had to go back to a mainstream school. imo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MP_MFC Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 Had our wee one on Tuesday and this is her second night home, having real trouble getting her to sleep in her basket. Will get her down in the afternoon for a bit but at night she just wants to feed and my wife is knackered.I understand that this is just cluster feeding and will pass but oh man it's tough. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tried swaddling? We never had any bother with her waking up for food (get the wee one on formula ) but if she wriggled she would become a wee unsettled. Swaddling stopped this. I had her done up like Tutankhamun. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the snudge Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 Scottish social security are giving away free money. Pretty much. Much simpler form than UK Gov systems.
