All change!

Well, it's all change here tonight. It's been a manic couple of weeks for Mam and Dad, and it's all culminating (for the time being) in today.

The long and the short of it is this: one of the ladies from church has been sectioned as-of the weekend, which meant her 2 children had to go and live with their original father. But the daughter has Autism, and the Dad realised he couldn't cope with her, or take proper care of her because he has to leave for work at 5:45 every morning. So the Social Services rang Dad - the minister of her church - to ask if there would be people from church who could go round of a morning to help the 2 kids get to school all Ok. So that was initially the plan.

But after some considerationa and um-ing and ah-ing by Social services and the 2 kids father, followed by a discussion type thing with my Mam and Dad, they all decided that the 2 kids should come and live in our house.

So, 6:30 tonight, 2 teenagers - 1 autistic the other just a little slow - move in to our house indefinately.

All change indeed.
