The saga continued

I phoned M's SEN school first thing as soon as he left for school...I got my pal who works in the office there and she was horrified...Also she wondered why they hadn't phoned her earlier yesterday so she said she'd find out what had gone on before i went off on one to transport...So it turns out that the taxi DID arrive to pick him up but because the driver (new) couldn't see M he drove off again...Now M isn't quite at the stage where he can go out into the car park at that school and just hop into his taxi...It's still all far to new to him for just now...So my poor lad had sat where he usually does and waited and waited patiently and more than likely screaming inside...Where he sits to wait is not visible by the school office...Someone from the office noticed him sat there at 3.40 and they went and phoned the taxi firm who said they would send a taxi immediately...That's why they didn't phone down to his SEN school which is fair enuff...But that taxi didn't turn up at all...As M was still sat in same place he wasn't seen still there...Another receptionist spotted him at the back of 4 and reason she phoned me was because M had by that time got it into his head that i was picking him up...The previous receptionist had left at 4 but via a different door so hadn't seen him still waiting...His SEN school have reported this debacle to transport and both the taxi firm and his mainstream school are being told off...The mainstream school should have had someone make sure he got the taxi okies but that is just minor...The taxi firm are going to be getting a good kick up the rear end...Oh and no-one from either the taxi firm or the mainstream school told his SEN school or transport...There's been a real breakdown in communication somewhere along the line yesterday which is rather ironic considering autism is a communication disorder and M wasn't to blame...I have his review on tues so i will make sure that there has been some strategy put in place to prevent this happening again

He has a *date* tonite LOL...Muggins has been told that we are picking up his g/f at 5pm to take them to the bowling alley then burger king...What am going to do for an hourISH i don't know...Probs end up in asda spending money i don't have ROFL...Mind you i want to see if it was there that i saw plain glass knik-knak/jewellery boxes...I want to glass paint one for each of my younger sisters 2 girls for their christmas...I have no idea what to get their brother...If i can still find them then am going to ask little sis if he has a saltire beach towel...If he doesn't then i might get him that to use for when he goes swimming...Or ask if he needs anything for his footie training...Here's me talking about christmas pressies and i still have no idea what am going to give K for her birthday on tues...We're going down next weekend to see her as she's away at a meeting this weekend...Might give her money to go and get her hair cut and styled and the boys can think of something...Well G gets his own EMA money now so am trying to get him responsible to buying small pressies himself instead of me paying for them...I still have a bit of a headache and sicky feeling but hopefully that will be gone by tomorrow...Usually it's a couple of days it lasts and apart from being on phone for most of this morning i have spent it all either in bed or on sofa asleep LOL
