Ok I've been away - what have I missed?

[bialystockandbloom]

Updates please! I've been snowed under here bloody needy family wanting attention over christmas and haven't been on MN since the end of last school term

What have I missed?

Have seen ellens news today. What else? Tribunal updates please from anyone - any LAs caved in recently??

Claw's LA agreed to a SA but she's battling with a bonkers SW.

I've put in an offer on a house that is far too small for 3 children, let alone one with asd, but it will max us out mortgage-wise. But I will finally be running my own life. Know any reasonable sensible builders that will build us an extension on new house for cost plus labour, rather than the usual round here which is percentage of what they perceive the additional value of the house becomes?

Ah, thank you star - happy new year to you!

WELL DONE CLAW!! Is that the long thread about homework? Haven't ventured to that.

Ooh and congrats on house! Is it where you currently are? I actually would recommend the builders who did our house (extension, major structural work involved, virtually redesigning and building from scratch), but obv we're in different area, you might prefer someone local. But let me know if you're interested and I'll pm you.

Btw ds got a ruler set for Christmas (not from us, obv). Sigh.

Nothing horribly new to report here. But welcome back!

Hi Bialy. Well, you've seen my update.

Claw's LA backing down and agreeing to assess cheered everyone up no end.

Coff33pots DD1 was home for Christmas.

Umm, more same old same old...
