Little things

Since money has figured large in international matters these last few weeks. Maybe it's time I took 5 minutes to talk about money.

The fact of the matter is that little I is likely to leave here for a specialist residential with education attached. Put another way it's going to cost roughly ten times what it costs to keep him here.

So of course you might think they would be prepared to "do what it takes" to keep him here.

So yesterday we got a letter saying that we must claim off our insurance for any damage he has done and that, because they are nice people, they will reimburse us the extra costs incurred in lost no claims etc.

As if, if i start making damage claims left right and centre the issue will not be increased premiums it will be getting cover in the first place.

They included a lovely piece of spin "the agency MAY not be liable" thats lovely because the agency is actually liable under fostering regulations. Regardless of their handbook or what letters they write, they are liable.

But it's little things like that which make you think it's time to put him in the car and leave him on their doorstep. So they will have saved themselves a few quid by spending a fortune.

Stupid.
