A 'Dog by an Aga' day

Seems like there's a lot
of emergency blips these
days. Phew for Leo!

Not a lot to report, same old stuff, Ben had a bad day at school, he was aggressive in the food tech room which is a worry as it's pretty much his favourite thing to do at school, so he'll struggle if they say he's not safe to go in there anymore.  I'm waiting to hear what was agreed at a meeting after school tonight.  Sigh.  I had a meeting with the new social worker, I like her which is a positive but talking with her highlights how little progress we've made recently.  We have no respite or prospect of respite and every setting that has assessed him for residential college so far has declined due to his behaviour :-(  We have one teeny iron in the fire but it's likely to involve solicitors and tribunal.  It's not much fun living in the limbo of it all.  Ben's been good since I picked him up though and there's a dog by the aga for any snuggling needs, so things aren't all bad :-)
