Back to school next week.
I'm partly organised, have ordered Z16's books, posted off the 'pay by installments' form that the college is kind enough to offer, nothing to get as far as uniform goes.
It's the transport that's the worry at the moment, we are not public transport aware, Z16 has caught the bus to town with friends before, but only to school once in primary school - I was ill with a virus and couldn't drive him -
I panicked thinking 'what if I put him on the wrong bus?' 'what if he's ended up in town?' one of those sort of motherly panics one has when running a 40 degree fever!
Naturally he was fine!
I'm just not sure how the times will co-ordinate with Small Man, realistically Small Man won't be going to school in the morning for a little while, maybe just for the first day or two *sigh*.....that's just the way it is.
Anyway I have emailed MTT to ask for their help in co-ordinating a bus to and from school if we need it.
I have also given Doubleday a serve - anyone else a member?
Them and their bloody editors choice.
I told them to never ever send it to me, if I want it I'll order it.
So last week I receive the editors choice, which I returned, unopened. They then send a letter to say that I will still be charged for postage - because I didn't decline the offer.
That was it!
I emailed them and said I am far too busy to be sending letters out or logging into their website simply to specify that I DON'T want something, and if that was the case they can cancel my membership.
I received a very polite email to say the postage has been waived and I am permanently removed from editors choice.
I do feel bad for the poor lady that has to reply to complaints, and it was only $7.95 after all, but it was the principal.
I guess I'm just sick of being taken advantage of!
While I was on a roll I registered for the Medicare safety net, as there will be some expenses coming up in that department soon. Anyone with high medical expenses should do the same, early January better as it's for the calendar year. You can submit it online...easy!
So all that's left to do is to approach the High School re: Small Man. I may be putting it off slightly! I'm good at doing that. I think I'll start with the social worker and go from there *sigh*.
Physio has been canceled for today, we were meant to go at 4pm....so I'm going to try Mum's physio this afternoon, treadmill, pocket gym (a stretchy band thing you use for resistance exercises) and some hand weights....
The Biggest Loser starting back again has given him a glimmer of motivation, but then all the motivation in the world doesn't help chronic fatigue/fatty liver etc
Lots of boring stuff to say today!!!
Better go and make some of this stuff happen!
