    Well i phoned the police. :eek:
    They've told me to speak to the head and if i feel nothing is done then i'm to ring them back and go in then he'll put me through to the youth diversion (sp) officer. So i'll speak to the head tomorrow and see what happens. Thanks everyone for the advice and support. xx
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.

    dusty would you do that in the aga?

    Yes, I'd get it to the simmer stage on the hot plates and then bung it in the ovens for a couple of hours - 80/20 rule with 80 being your oven.
