Well yesterday as you must be aware is my day to see my son, I got there late as I overslept (it happens sometimes). Anyway I got there and Tanis was ready to go, so I took him to Bexhill play park again, and then on to Cooden Beach, I wish I took my camera now, (Damm). He seamed to have a nice time, mind you it is going to start getting harder to find places now except for play parks as places shut down for the winter season. After that I took him home, and had a chat to his mother, about some issues with the foster carers had rung me about (during my contact!).

They are no longer are willing to bring Tanis or collect him from his mothers as they are only getting his D.L.A. (Disability Living Allowance) for Saturday to Sunday, it takes 5mins if that for the journey.

Kim whose on Benefits herself doesn't have any transport except the use of Taxi's and Buses. There are no buses that run up to where the Foster Carers are, so that leaves her Taxi's. Which will cost her £5 each trip, thats £20 in total. What I didn't mention was that Kim does get Tanis's DLA for Saturday to Sunday but not his Mobility the foster carers do. So considering the foster carers get Tanis's Mobility Allowance for 7 days I think it should fall to the foster carers to transport Tanis to his mother and pick him up don't you? Plus with the £450 pounds a week they get for fostering Tanis. I said that to social services this morning, as I rung them up about it, I told them that I wasn't happy with the way Kim was being treated by the Foster carers with the transport issue and I told them the rest of my views on it all and they said that they are aware of it and are talking to them about it. But its like someone said too me Foster Carers have Social Services running scared, as there is a complete lack of them in this country, especially those that are willing to take on children with special needs such as Tanis, its a shame but its a fact.

Monday morning I am off sick today i woke up with a real bad pain in my gut and I have done nothing but run to and from the toilet this morning. So I thought it best to ring in sick. So whilst Kelly slumbers away upstairs. I'm down here running to the loo, I would love to go back to bed, but the dash to the loo from upstairs is not possible with my stomach lol. i'll leave you on that note.....
