    If this is true and he is a convicted ****phile and he is on the sex offenders regisiter then he will be subject to periodic checks which are done by Jigsaw team they manage offenders in the community there is one in every borough so if you have concerns you can try contacting them and they will go and check on him and will keep a closer eye on him.

    Afternoon all

    I've done yesterday's and today's lists, just the opposite way round ;)

    Two loads of washing dry and put away.

    Back grass cut, edged and all swept up. The dog has green feet again!

    It's very humid here but nice and cool in the house.

    I have until Sunday off , although I need to pop into work in the morning to help out with something. So I have things that need doing and am going to make a list here as I will be more likely to do them.

    Washing
    Ironing
    Cut grass
    Put light fittings up
    Cut rhubarb back, make a crumble and freeze the rest
    Hoover through

    This should hopefully put me in a good position to attempt level 1s next week.

    Off to meet OH from work soon to get a bit of exercise.

    Pigpen sorry honey, I think we've got our wires crossed. The source was from a copper, hence the worry with DPA and not wanting to get him sacked. No idea what the !!!!!! on our street does. No one seems to know him

    I knew what you meant.. which is why I said I would be makng sure veryone knew.. it is likely this plod has checked his info and it should therefore be accurate.. and this creepy bloke must have been convicted to be accessible on the systems so quickly.. BIG alarm bells.

    If this is true and he is a convicted ****phile and he is on the sex offenders regisiter then he will be subject to periodic checks which are done by Jigsaw team they manage offenders in the community there is one in every borough so if you have concerns you can try contacting them and they will go and check on him and will keep a closer eye on him.

    The school could possibly do this, yes?

    If they say they have had a concerned parent or 3 in and explain what has happened it wouldn't even need to be one of the parents who contact them?

    The crib I AM HAVING should be in stock in about 3 weeks so Squeak will have to hang on until that has arrived.. I need to locate a stand for it as the ones in m/care don't fit (you watch me end up building one! lol.. ) I got 2 nighties and a lovely cardy for me all for £23.. my 2 nighties are a little snug around the tum.. and 1 is white.. not a good colour for baby popping!

    I got a letter from he solicitor today apparently KH has ignored all the letters from solicitors and the divorce papers he was so keen to get moving.. he was served them on 12th March and a reminder sent on the 27th April and no response to any of them.. He was screaming for a divorce 2 days after he left last year and now it comes to it he is farting about.. what a twerp!! I can get the court bailiff to deal with him (at my expense) or I can nag him myself to get his act together.. I'll just tell him the baby is having his surname if he doesn't get a shifty on that'll work!! lol

    Last 2 loads of laundry out.. all the bedding hung out before I went shopping is dry.

    It is gorgeous here today.. though WAY too hot.. thankfully my house is freezing.. who needs air-con?!

    I am sorting Squeaks washing tomorrow providing it is like this... and I have the last remaining bits to grab from mothercare.. and 1 more thing from ebay and baby is sorted! I did buy some gorgeous little oufits from Debenhams though too.. I am such a sucker!!

    Slurping my cuppa ultra quick and off to collect the beasts!

    choccybix huge (((hugs) for you - what a dreadful week you are having I sincerely hope it gets better from here on. Ditto what the others have said - I also wondered if you have a crimestoppers line you could phone - anonymously(sp?) - you could be a concerned citizen that saw 2 wee children going into the house of a man and you know they werent related and there was no ther adults there? You could even use the same tale and phone the police?
    piggers keep your legs crossed for the next 3 weeks - we cant have squeak arriving and no bed! I cant believe KH - he is the pits but i am sure you will get him sorted!:D
    holly thank goodness the burn will heal - poor girl - is the pain easier - and what a cracker of a mother to have - both DDs must be cringing at someone who is more concerned with how things look than their welfare!
    pooh I hope the painkillers do the trick but make sure you are still taking things easy for another week anyway to let things settle down (((hugs))) will hope the weather is good so you can sit outside.xx
    newlywed Happy Anniversary honey - bah MEN!!!!! I dont doubt that he loves you - Men (in general) dont see the need to celebrate birthdays and anniversaries - and to be fair he is self employed and work is tricky these days that he propbably feels its better to take any work that comes? Hope he makes it up to you (((hugs)))
    Natty well done honey - the nurse usually has a pretty good idea if its all ok so i think you could relax and forget about it until the results come in - we usually get ours in about 3 weeks here. And yes - well spotted - I am going in on Monday for a week for my muscle treatment but will be taking lappy with me to keep an eye on you all!!!!

    have hardly stopped until I sat down here to catch up - its very warm here but not that sunny - I think thats worse!!!

    bed has been stripped washed out on line and now ready to be ironed!
    2nd wm load out
    3rd just about to go out and that will be me caught up with the washing.

    had my gardener lady here for an hour so i pottered with her.

    have emptied the bins ready for washing
    have filled up the loo roll basket
    have put away all my medical delivery from yest
    Dn has been for her sample
    made several phone calls
    have sorted out the ironing for the cleaner
    have filled the DW
    have retrieved something from the shed, cleaned it and phoned for it to be uplifted

    there are probably other little bits but thats not bad - need to go find my hospital list so i can get my bag started.

    catch you later
    toots xx
    Peace will be mine
    could do better - must try harder
    Live each day as if its your last

    Yes anybody could parent or school you only have to tell them that this person has had children in his house and they will have to go round and check what is going on but this is IF he is on the sex offenders register which from what has been said I presume he is.


    ETA choccybix if this man lives backing on to the school field would it be worth you going over stranger danger and good touch bad touch etc with your kids (keep safe work) kidscape have some downloads covering this subject if you can't find it pm me and i will send you the link or anyone else who wants it.

    DS's room done to Level 3

    Has come in demanding tea - 3:30 I ask you - their lunchtime is 1-2 pm so suspect he's not had any. He can wait though. He took 2 creme caramels out of the fridge; I took them off him and put them back...*roll eyes*

    Barometer indicates that it is about 70 deg fahrenheit (nearly 20 deg centigrade) - that coupled with the vigorous vacuuming means I am a very warm Valli.

    Disconnected keyboard and took it outside and gave it a thorough brushing; gibble thrown, am finding binbag dancing harder and harder as I have less and less to throw!
    PC scanned and defragged, too.
