    Morning Aesop and everyone else when they get up:)

    Aesop not specifically meaning police search but if a child went missing as a parent would you not look everywhere in your home and as that was the last place she was seen at the grandmothers home. Makes me wonder how much the rest of the family knew of the situation it makes me shudder to think. I know we don't know all the facts yet so suppose we shouldn't speculate just such a sad sad situation that poor girl. The police got suspicious enough from the interview which was probs what led them to then search the house so can't fault the police as they only acting on what info from the family given at the time. :(:(:(

    Blue looks a good deal atm for booking Mercure hotels between 19th Aug and 2nd September for £20 on quick grabbit. Pity not one near Staines as got 2 day pass for Thorpe park 1 & 2 sept trying to book a cheap room so don't travel home for sat night can't get below £56:eek: at a TL don't like paying that much for one of their rooms when know can book for £12 :D;)


    How did OH take the speeding news:eek:

    Can't believe the weather went from sweltering yesterday to chilly misty morning here (feels like a Sept morning) although the sun in the sky so sure it going to be another nice day

    Aesop how are things at work now have they calmed down abit:A

    Morning all

    Blue - so glad you posted this and have heard from FV. There is absolutely no way she has brought the thread down and MSE is definitely my escapism.

    If you can persuade her to come back on here and post, I am sure she may find it helpful and that no-one will mind. I know I am not the only one who has posted in frustration, anger, happiness, in fact all emotions, but have to say I have had the most tremendous support from people on here when needed, which I know she will get too if she wants.
    As you say, if she doesn't want us to mention her daughter that is fine, but if she does, then that is fine too.

    Please come back FV.

    Off out today with OH to spend the day with an old school friend and her family. :T:T:T

    DITTO from me also to the above SND.

    Have a lovely day out with your friend SND well deserved bit of me time:T

    it is a difficult situation when a child goes missing. Look at that poor girl, (I forget the name), who's mother hid her in her boyfriend's house under the bed! And drugged her!

    And as parents you would look in the house first, but we don't know what happened there, what was said etc. Just very, very, very sad. It is awful that we have to have evil in the world.

    Work is as busy as ever and what makes it worse, the person who was made redundant did all our exams. I handed over the handbook to the person taking it over, and they said to me there are lots of things we don't do, which we should be doing :eek::eek: makes me so angry! So bless the new person, they have started doing things properly but they didn't know the whole process as they weren't shown it. Not enough hours in the day to fix this dept.

    Just spotted this from you too AH. Really looking forward to it. Had a really hard week with mum and dad's wedding anniversary and mum's 80th, so definitely in need of some "us time" as OH been a real rock for me as always. :)

    Yes I remember the case Mathews think was the surname a very strange case but thankfully found alive that time and mother was punished like you say pity there is such wickedness out there.:(:(:(

    Most definitely, we both love cooking (although we hated it at school:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:), so I will be taking some and she will have made some. We both agree it is always nice to eat cake that someone else has made. Also a couple of meals too as we will not be leaving until very late this evening.
