I don’t think I’ve been this excited in a long time! I had a nice long think about how I could help the SEN community in my area and what I could do from home and I came up with a plan. I’m so pleased. Having Charlie and the level of time he is at home, I’ve come to grips with the fact that he needs me at home and I can’t be physically present in a workplace, it is impossible. This may change, I hope it does but I have accepted it for now. So the project, it has meant getting in touch with local charities and SEN services to collaborate on the project together and fingers crossed it will all become clear on the 1st of December. That is the date I have given myself! Not sure if it’s over reaching or not yet!

To do this, has meant I have changed this website into a business one and created a business email too. It has taken up the majority of my Sunday. I have a meeting tomorrow with a financial advisor to find the best solution to be able to balance the finance side of things and a meeting with a printers. All done at home, which is a blessing. We are now on day 6 of not leaving the house, it’s a total regression and it is upsetting to feel this. I feel sad that we have regressed so much, just due to change and the feelings of trauma around it.

I have a webinar on controlling behaviour which was released by Yvonne Newbold of Newbold Hope and I’m looking forward to working with her in the future, Charlie struggles with controlling and challenging behaviour so hopefully I can get some worthwhile tips! Unfortunately, you are not able to buy the webinar after the post date however, it is a popular one and I’m sure it will be released again. I will pop a link to the site below.

Next I will be registering Advocating For Charlie as a business, I don’t want to be a charity or a community interest as I believe the area that we are in has enough, and I don’t want to take away from already vital charities and services that already do amazing work and support so many families already. I have however, made a business plan of how much it will cost to run this website for a year and fingers crossed can generate the money to pay for this website so it will pay for itself and therefore it can continue to be a free resource for anyone that needs.

So lots going on and lots that keeps this mind of mine busy. All stuff I can do in the same room as Charlie as separation anxiety in controlling our lives right now. I really do need a break!

I’m also very excited for the future.
