Matching panel cancelled...

The big bad SW from last week called up.

Apparently our health and safety check wasn't done properly. I mentioned that she wanted locks on all the windows. Well, she wants a lot more than that.

She insinuated that our beloved SW didn't do the PAR form properly. She wants to re-submit it after we've had a health and safety check by two SWs on Monday. She has cancelled our 12th September matching date. She doesn't know when we'll get to meet LO (and doesn't actually seem to care), but the paperwork will take three weeks to file.

We begged her to be reasonable. The PAR mistakes were theirs, not ours, so why should we and LO be penalised? We promised to get all the things she wants done this weekend but please, please, please don't cancel the matching panel as we already know October is all booked up. But she does it by the book, and won't shift.

This power-crazy lady is messing with my mind. We've cancelled work left, right and centre, we've arranged our lives all ready for our big, big day: the day we meet LO, which was going to be 14th September, 2 weeks today.

She said to R; 'I can't understand what all the rush is with this one, why your SW has been in such a hurry to push it through.' It made us wonder what she meant; that we'd got too cosy with our SW, and they think she's doing a sort of matey job on our case?

Maybe our SW was pushing it through because it makes sense to bring LO home to his family as soon as possible? Maybe she just cared about us and about LO?

I feel strangely afraid of this woman and her power.
