Karma................

............................What a wonderful thing it can be!!


And even better if i get to watch it bit at someone's rear end!!!


He he he.................
The continuing saga of our journey to get a named Social Worker for Peter. After "getting" the Deputy Director of SW services last week, i got a call last friday from a team Leader at our local SW office.


(he must have done the optional module on "making phone calls"!!!!)


He was profuse in his apologies about the hassles we'd had. He said that the other Social Workers we had spoken to should have taken matters more seriously, especially when we started mentioning legal stuff .
He gave us the Council policy on overseeing Guardianships - we SHOULD have had a named contact and they SHOULD have been in touch at least once a year, possibly twice. (I KNEW all this - and i don't have a SW qualification - how come they didn't?!?!)


Anyway - the outcome was that we were to be assigned  Named Worker within 2 weeks  and i had this guy's name and number if things went pear shaped - again!!!


Yesterday afternoon, i was getting ready to go out to vote in the local council elections.
 The phone rang.
 The voice at the other end introduced himself as our named worker and told me who he was.


 My brain was busy taking in this info as he talked.


 Then i realized that i KNOW this guy!!


  SO i stoped him and asked if he had been to the primary school i went to.


    Yes, came the reply.


   So, i said, you should remember me - and i told him who i was.


       EEEEKKKKKK - He DID remember me and then said that he remembered his brother (who worked at the primary Peter went to) telling him we'd met.




See what i mean about Karma!?!?!


Mind you, time will tell how it goes. 
He's coming to visit next friday.


Heck - they can wait on us for a change. And the next few days are busy. Peter and i had the dentist today and i had an ASDA delivery.
It's Paul's birthday on sunday.
Tuesday we're going to Aberdeen  and doing our presentation on wednesday.
Thursday is art class


As i've been writing, i've had a call from Jenn to fill me in on arrangements for wednesday. 
Sounds like a good time will be had.
And i've promised Peter we'll take the dvd player and some dvds to watch in the evening.


But before then, i have Birthday cards to write, pressies to wrap (not for Paul, but my friend's son whose birthday is on monday)
Goodness know when he'll get the pressie, but he WILL get it.
