What a week!!!
We were surprised last Friday with a lump sum deposited in our bank account. After investigation it became clear that we had at last been awarded Disability Allowance for Christopher which will make things so much easier on all of us financially. Then, just a few days later 2 more payments appeared! I have been awarded carers allowance and we also got tax credits on his behalf. It seems so strange that finally everything is working out for us. I'm not used to that. We are now going to claim a grant for replacing his bed and the washing machine.
Although we are glad of the money and it means there is less pressure on me to find a job, It still hurts that he actually needs the benefits, I just wish I had my little boy healthy.
Christopher took part in Sports Relief this week doing a sponsored mile with the Scouts, they went hiking in Cadzow Glen. Then again on Friday at school by doing laps of the playground.
Me and Fi went to see Alice in Wonderland on Friday in 3D and it was AWESOME!
Robert went out on Friday night and then had a funeral at 10am Saturday morning. Babs was also there and fainted Again. she always passes out in church, i joke that she is possessed!
Last of all... the big one!
Christopher had his first Tae Kwon Do grading and is now 9th Kup. He got yellow tags to add to his belt and i could not be prouder!
