I went out to the university disability office this afternoon and handed in the letter that Garath needed from a medical person...I did point out that despite this school gp putting down that he has dyspraxia that he has never been tested for it or diagnosed with it...But i did say his writing is shocking to say the least...His writing is the kind that when GP's had to write a prescription it would have been suitable LOL...Messy and mainly unreadable...Which doesn't matter so much in the world today as most work is typed up not hand written...Hsi disability officer did get an email from MrsP which she found extremely useful :o) But MrsP did forget to mention his panic attacks...Now i know Garath won't speak about them so i made sure that his disability officer does know now that he gets them...The woman from the NAS that does the support will work on those with him which is great :o) Although he hasn't been assessed yet his disability officer said that he will get a laptop <phew> and a dictaphone <bigger phew> Bluntly put his memory is bad unless it is something academic...By academic i mean having read in a book or been taught by teacher/lecturer...He'll need a dictaphone so he can record meetings or record tutorial groups...Of course he will have to ask permission of those involved and if any say no then am sorry but i wouldn't have any respect for them...It's not like he's going to record anything to pass on to another party...He's only going to record so that he can remember so he can take part and get his share of the work done...So to me anyone obkecting to that is only caring about themselves and not their fellow students...But my mind is more at rest now knowing he will get those two pieces of equipment at least...I know that nearly every student needs a computer of some kind nowadays but he specifically needs one or he couldn't do the course...He will be assessed once his disability officer is back from her annual leave which she starts on mon, not sure for how long, and not just equipment but support will come into that assessment.
I've been sat making up jewellery samples most of the week...I really want to make up tiara samples but am running out of crystals and beads and i can't afford to purchase much more at the moment...What i want to do is purchase the factory packs but they're expensive (well cheaper in long run) and i have a lot of bills until mid august...My share of the roof repairs and road tax and renew car insurance...Car insurance is thankfully paid monthly...I want to buy a years road tax this time but it's going to have to be 6 months again...My share of the roof is £509 <ouch> Then i'll need to contact my home insurance and see if i can get my bedroom repaired via it...Otherwise am stuffed cos i can't afford to replaster the wall let alone everything else...The outside wall is soaking cos of the roof leak :o( My bedroom is not fit to live in so it's a dumping ground just now so i need to clear it out before i can have it checked over...At least it;s not as bad as the flat directly above it...The bedroom in that flat is so bad with wet and damp the whole room is BLACK with mould and that mould is creeping into the bathroom and kitchen of that flat...We really need the roof leak fixed LOL...None of the other flats are affected only mine and that one upstairs...The one on that side on the top floor is in the roof so the leak hasn't affected it...Anyways am offski cos i've been sat here typing this for ages...I phoned my mum midway through so had a stop for that

Glad your boy is going to get the equipment he needs, that is great. I do not envy you yours bills but I am glad you have been able to take your mind off things making samples. Fingers crossed for you that you can buy factory packs and also that you will start selling soon, that will help with the bills.

Hope the assessment goes ok once the disability officer is back from leave but it all sounds good so far :) Hope the jewelry making comes along nicely x That flat with the mould sounds disgusting!!!

That is good news for Garath getting the things he need ~ I hope no one will object to him recording ~ and I am glad you managed to get in all the things you needed to say at the university disability office letting them know about G's panic attacks and other things they need to know ~ hope you can manage to get some more crystals so you can carry on with your jewellery making ~ Ally x
Caff with your spirit behind them I know they'll continue to astound everyone. I see no reason why the lessons can't be recorded. I hope you get something sorted on the uniform.
Your jewelry is all wonderful........I imagine your Mum was quite chuffed showing off her daughters talent. They're all beautifully made Caff, all of them. Rache
