Does not your son have alternatives?
Thank you chaps and chapesses.
The alternatives are very limited. He works full time ( 34 hrs) for Tesco but is paid their minimum wage which is just over £7.00 there is very little work in Aviemore and most of the work that there is is seasonal.
He wrote his car off in an early morning blizzard a few weeks ago and is still waiting for the cheque. Until he has that he is totally reliant on his legs and public transport, which up there is minimal.
Up until 2 weeks ago he was having access to his children every other weekend and during the holidays. Completely and utterly out of the blue his partner (not the mother of his children) who has children of her own said she no longer loved him and wanted him out. This the day after he had sold some personal items of his on EBAY to cover the rent.
He could come and live here and he knows that, we talked it over. If he lived here he would stand a better chance of getting a decent paying job or he could transfer to a local Tesco, he could draw breath and recover from the shock of the break up of what he thought was a stable relationship but he wants to be with his children and I have great pride in him for that because when he, (my son) was 2 his father pissed off up to Jockland to evade paying maintenance for his 2 children. This meant that he also cut off contact I was living in London.
Things will get better for him and he has an action plan in place. He will soon have a car. He wants to live in Inverness. More jobs, more money more housing stock. He will get there.
On a lighter and brighter note I have just hoovered the ceiling and where is Miss D? I know I haven't been around much but she doesn't seem to have been around much either.
