Yeah, okay. I'll refrain from doing that from now on, so not to look as bad as them. It's just rather nippy though. I'll probably have to look into getting a personal helper unrelated to social services. A member already posted some links, so I'll have a look through those.

When I ditch the support people, they keep sending me financial assessment paperwork to fill in again. Surely they shouldn't have to keep doing that. It's not the fact that they are support workers obtained through a social worker that annoys me. It's the fact that the people they find for me cannot always be flexible, or they don't act like they want to be there during my shifts (as in, they're unprepared, rude, and seem to be disinterested). The last guy I had came from a nursing home. He was flexible at least, but he was better suited to care work in housing, and by the looks of things, he was overworked.

But I think it could work out too expensive paying for an accomplice. It seems silly doing this when my only use for this person would be to go with me to a film set. I'm not sure what else I'd need them for. Unfortunately, support agencies don't match you up with support workers based on personal interests. It's just whether they're a good carer or not, and I can only work with guys which means it's tough to find someone since it's mainly women in this field of work.
