Hi all. Crazy day at work but have broken up now for amost 2 wks . Dh is in a bad mood (motor bike trouble sigh). House is a tip. Laundry everywhere!

star all jobs seem to get boring eventually (even stressful ones).
MC I think I am summer, is that light, dusty colours?
ruby I am currently trying not to fall asleep at cheerleading class!

Dh wants to go for a walk tomorrow, looks like it's going to be cold though.

Bbl

Evening all

Finished my autism assignment - not happy with it but happy to have finished it. DH has the next week off and I didn't want to take it to the caravan with me.

Scatty - I am a summer and it is plums, pinks, greens and red all in dusty hazy colours. I was wearing a purply/plum top and that was perfect. Nothing too bright

After easter I am cutting down to two afternoons at school. Hopefully I will be able to stay on top of my college work and get some reading done in advance of my PGCE as well cos at the moment I feel like I am drowning.

Not much else done as it took me all day and evening to do my assignment but i'm forgetting about college now for a few weeks.

Happy Easter all - hope you all have a relaxing weekend

I wrote out a detailed reply to dyls then lost it bum! Anyway here goes again.
ECM duty to cooperate An individual police officer must write a report every time that one of the 5 keyoutcomes are not met. e.g a child witnenessing parent shouting at each other will not be 'safe' or may not attend school worrying about Mum 'education'. Child in a car accident may have been neglected if there is no child seat or parent did not stop him running out into the road. Child shoplifting will be arrested get a criminal record will not get a job ergo not 'economically independent' as an adult. & below the law
Any agency can make enquiries about any child in their area who they have reason to believe may be at risk of significant harm. Sections 17 & 47 Children Act 1989. Also look at:- To support the local Crime and Disorder Strategy
Objectives, any person shall have the power to share information. Section 115 Crime and Disorder Act 1998
So basically various agencies can exchanging information if it does not break the various schedules within Section 115. So that's why you get threads on here 'well they take my children away'
Does this help or muddy the water further

Starbear · 01/04/2010 23:06

RR Custody officers are horrible to everyone because they got the 'sticky end of the lollipop' If you could only see them shouting at Constables for no apparent reason.
wolf for you
Dyls on a light note. Thames clipper you can get a 2for1 deal with your train travel card and get a family rover (I think)
Thames clipper & check your train company website too for this deal trains 2for1 Hope this helps.
Must go to bed HAVE A LOVELY EASTER EVERYONE

scattyspice · 02/04/2010 09:41

Morning it is sunny (at the moment), so we're off out.

Ruby No, don't be super tough just get a thicker skin. I think that women need to use all their communication skills in the custody room. Don't be an aggressive man just be an assertive woman.

ruby and star it sounds like another world to me! However I did watch Ashes to Ashes last night and had disturbing dreams about Gene hunt all night . Am I close?

Dyl did you make it to the castle?

Had a good morning cruising H+M with dd while Dh took Ds to swim lesson then we met up at the cafe and went to explore Newcastle's castle (it must be castle season Dyl).
Had a frustrating aft bobbing between both DC and Dh (in the garage) all needing lots of help with things.

Done:
Re-stocked DC pants and socks draw (spent £30 on underwear ).
Cleaned floors (those that I could see)

grouchyoscar · 03/04/2010 18:21

Hello

Went to see DB at his house and took Ed, it's the first time we've ever been!. DB has 6 reptiles and Ed had fun feeding them live insects He thought the cameleons were the best coz of the long tongues. I liked the bearded dragons.

Popped in to see DF and his partner. Following his 2 week stay at hospital in February he has been told he has MRSA He needs it not! I was good to see him but I'd rather he didn't seem so frail. He is angry so I suppose that's a good sign IYKWIM

Swept the kitchen floor and was shocked at the pile of fluff and grot it has accumulated well it is done

A great family day, why haven't we done it sooner?

dylsmum1998 · 04/04/2010 08:56

scatty yes we did make it to the castle dd was very impressed lol this one had a roof (the one across the road doesn't).

not sure what we doing today, think i best avoid driving to be safe, feeling a little worse for wear. self-inflicted I went out with friends for first time in ages last night, I remember lots of giggling and not much else .
so need to sort myself out ds will be home soon

Went out with family & Little bear for a curry. We were home so late he put his PJ's on and we both forgot his nappy so W/M up and running at 4am and the rest now.

we have done an easter egg hunt in the garden and have spent the day with family. I am in day four of an horrendous head and chest cold but I am muddling through.

The bridesmaid dresses are made and are lovely - my aunt is amazing and even though she isn't related to me has been a bigger and more important part of my life than a lot of my family and certainly cares about me a lot more than they do. I feel very blessed.

I hope you all had a lovely easter sunday.

done

wm unloaded reloaded and on twice
lots of washing up and jobs done at mum's house
my own house is a tip, this is because I spend too much time making bread an profiteroles and not enough actually cleaning

tea if you are reading a big easter sunday hug to you.

Starbear · 04/04/2010 22:09

Hang quilt to air after Tumble dry done
Tumble dry the rest done
