It's a service that you're lucky to still have in the current climate, and there'll be thousands of others out there that wish they could benefit from the respite services offered by councils. Ask any other council tax payer on here, and they'll tell you the same as me - tax increasing and services decreasing.
The other thing to consider is that care workers are generally not very well paid and work extremely long hours with minimal breaks. Not exactly great for someone who is providing a vital service to people such as yourself. The alternative is that you're stuck indoors of course.
The thing is, she got a bit pissed of when Jacob had put someone elses top on, and he left it on the floor, and I was being barked at like a dog for not picking it up, also when Jacob threw my camera battery and memory card out the window -
it was my fault that he threw them out because
I had left them unattended on charge in my bedroom.
Also, when Jacob was in a good mood he was playing with his toy dogs and filming them with my camera, and she come and ranted at me for not "taking photos of traffic" with it and "you know the rules". I was totally unaware of said rule that photography was not permitted anywhere, but maybe the rule needs to apply to staff when Jacob built a large Lego model and they came and took photos and posted them on snapchat.
