Ohhh the turf wars are heating up. Let the fun begin.

@titsbumfannythelot for M&S I think they decided or were allowed to keep the bits open that you could plausibly stumble into on the way to the food section. DH reckons it's because men only buy clothes when they have to so must be essential purchases .

WaxOnFeckOff · 25/01/2021 20:25

I'm sure Nicola will tell him he's not allowed.

@Coquohvan

Don’t get me wrong it’s a very good thing sharing resources; especially medical resources in times like this. I’m musing as to what would have happened IF we separate!

I want to know loads of stuff about what would be planned and how it would work. I might start a thread to find out.

titsbumfannythelot · 25/01/2021 20:28

I can't stand either of them, but the resting bitch face she displayed when he visited Bute house was really quite epic.

WouldBeGood · 25/01/2021 20:29

@littlbrowndog the way we are treating our children is scandalous

WouldBeGood · 25/01/2021 20:31

I was, briefly, a Reporter to the children’s hearings, and most of this stuff would have been grounds for referral

WouldBeGood · 25/01/2021 20:32

In the days when the best interests of the child was considered important

littlbrowndog · 25/01/2021 21:11

You know it’s been since September that me and my kids have been inside someone else’s house

We need a clear wayforward from our FM about our children

This can’t go on like this

It’s so grim

The sacrifice chat doesn’t work

My kids are suffering as are many other kids

Grrrr. Just feeling it tonight

littlbrowndog · 25/01/2021 21:14

It is wouldbegood.

Really awful. What are we meant to do with them day in and day out

It’s so cold being out with toddlers. They walk so slow. Then get so cold

littlbrowndog · 25/01/2021 21:15

Anyway. Going to Netflix to find something to give me a cheer up 🤕😂😂

Invisimamma · 25/01/2021 21:15

I was a children's panel member at one point. There were things I heard, read and saw that children expierenced that were just horrific but sadly typical expierences for so many children. It has made me really worry about lots of children and young people through these lockdowns who will be in dire circumstances without access to usual escapes and support. It doesn't bear thinking about.

I know 'vulnerable' children could be in school but the reality is that majority of them won't be attending.

icanboogieboogiewoogie · 25/01/2021 21:28

@Invisimamma I quite often think that. I remember at teaching college being told 'always remember you could be the only constant in a child's life.' Some kids have such chaotic, miserable lives, and being in school is safe and predictable for them. And the most vulnerable will often be the ones who aren't turning up, and the ones who are difficult to contact.

See if Usforthem really gave a shit, this is the argument they'd be making. They literally only care about themselves.

I'm sure Nicola will tell him he's not allowed.

Hopefully

@Iwillneverbesatisfied

it was me re: dream job.

I got 4 job offers, including dream job, although they say they need to get more funding before they can take me on so its not a definite 'yes' and they might not get the funding (if they do, it will be June or July I think).

one job offer was much lower than advert like REALLY low) so I said no, other job offer was much higher than job offer but I thought would be too stressful, so I picked option 3 lol which is temporary but in an area that I wanted to move into and will hopefully lead to F/T role.

Thanks for asking!

You are the queen of job offers! I didn't realise you had so many.... I'm seriously impressed.

I agree with others that you could justify supporting your friend if you felt that was appropriate, but I totally understand that there are some relationships where it may not be, iyswim..

Thanks too for the title, and for cis (and Fred) for starting the new thread!

I'm sad about jenners too, though to be honest, I have hardly been in there since Ashley took over. They haven't have a big tree since then from what I heard, and I'm pretty sure the haberdashers disappeared a while ago, in exchange for more badly made sportswear...

NotAnActualSheep · 25/01/2021 22:36

@titsbumfannythelot

That's good, it would be a shame for that building to lie empty.

Has anyone else been reading that lolloping tit Johnson is apparently going to visit Scotland?

Oh god. Give us a break ffs... Haven't we suffered enough.

MissEliza · 25/01/2021 22:40

@icanboogieboogiewoogie this is so sadly true which why I get upset when we have 'key worker' children taking up places we could have offers to vulnerable children who really need to be in.

I totally agree here. It is shocking the lack of consideration given to these most vulnerable children, who are hardly going to be the most likely to be attending the hubs in schools. It is so sad. And they aren't going to be the "resilient" ones who will just bounce back when back. As if many will be able to do that in reality...

WouldBeGood · 25/01/2021 22:57

All children are vulnerable in this instance and should be in school.

They won’t get this time back in their development. My ds is “lucky” but won’t have seen another child now for 7 months and counting since March last year, other than the months school was back, when he flourished.

He’s getting depressed again, and there’s nothing I can do.

MissEliza · 25/01/2021 23:04

On Friday as I was leaving work, I noticed a mum from my school taking her dcs to the park, obviously trying to keep them occupied on a cold January day. I realised those kids, by the end of March, will have been out of school for six months out of twelve. It's shit. I worry about a 'lost generation'.

"Lolloping tit" made me laugh out loud - thanks

Vulnerable children can have a place though in many cases it's the parents refusing to send them in.

Friend is a secondary teacher they have roughly 60 vulnerable children they have 6 in the parents won't send them and the school can't force them!

WouldBeGood · 25/01/2021 23:25

My ds is at secondary school and wouldn’t go in as it’s seen to be embarrassing, as they’re too old for school for childcare and none of their pals are in.

MissEliza · 25/01/2021 23:43

@Scottishskifun our school has placed a limit on numbers. I don't know if that's according to guidelines or arbitrary. We're gradually getting more vulnerable children coming in but we won't accommodate everyone sadly.

Scottishskifun · 25/01/2021 23:55

@MissEliza I think this is the problem LA and individual schools/nurseries deciding!

The guidance from Scottish govt is 1 key worker and vulnerable children. But they allow LA to set their own levels within this and then the LA allows schools to determine as well
