Sweet Mama Dog Interacting with a Beautiful Child with Down Syndrome Jim Stenson

My grandson has Down's Syndrome he is three nearly four now. It is doubtful that he will ever live an independent life but may well outlive his parents.

His father (my son due to arrive tomorrow) lives in Scotland. Full time jobs are few on the ground and my son doesn't have one of them he works p/t for Tesco.  Money is tight and my son is going to be caught out by the so called 'bedroom tax'.  He will struggle to have his children to stay with him in a month or so as he will only be allowed to have one bedroom without being penalised. I don't know what the answer is but this ain't it. evil:

Well that sort of spoilt the thread, sorry chaps and chapesses.

Another reason for Scotland to go their own way ...... tho' I'm not sure the "Bedroom Tax" will apply in Scotland anyway. Since, like Wales, they have their own system of valuation on properties you may find that this piece of Westminster arseholery doesn't get taken up North o the Border.
I used to have a handle on life but it broke.

I can understand your anger my daughter is caught up in this 'bedroom tax' rip off. They should be getting this tax elsewhere. They just seem to go for easy targets... evil:

My son has just sent his CV to Mr C for advice and corrections etc. Mr C is positively glowing, as he should be, as am I, which is natural.  It just goes to show the regard in which my son holds his sorry excuse for a father and the regard in which he holds Mr C.  It's all rather nice really. cloud9:

Had not long been back from lingering in Sheffield.  Been down the garden to feed the chickens, was just washing my hands and getting ready to open the wine when there was a knock at the front door.

On answering it much to my surprise standing there and asking to use the bathroom was Nick.

One glass of wine, a wee, several stories, a large dose of laughing he has just left us, clutching a package containing a wabbit pie dish and a CD that has been sitting on my bookcase since he visited us for a weekend.  cloud9:
