    Went to m7s but have been in twice today and it was the same old bird on the ss till chatting with the fat, baldy security guy whom i'm sure is watching me with my phone out using the calculator. So only done a drive by and got that feeling in my gut telling me to steer clear. I read TrulyMadlys post saying that they had been and was working but dunno what time.

    Sorry, rant coming up!!

    When we started our joint savings account 5 years ago we were putting what we had left at the end of the month from my wages, wife hasn't worked for 8 yrs! I then had an accident from which I was unable to work, badly broken ankle and I was an HGV driver. When I recovered, I was told that I'd have to take out my own insurance in case I fell over on job and sued them!!, £3000 a year at the time!!!
    It was then that I started doing car boots. A friend of mine used to take delivery of a certain charity shops goods who recycle stuff they don't sell after 3 weeks. I was doing OK, until I found this thread. What an eye opener it was. I went from selling second hand goods to new ones.

    Before I found this site, money was really tight, so nothing was going into our savings account, in fact, it was pretty much empty! As it was I that found you lot, it was me that done all the running around to get glitches and bargains, my wife stopped shopping!
    From then on I've managed to make enough money to survive week to week without using the maintenance and child tax coming in, only using it for holidays and household stuff.

    Question... As I was the one to pay for everything and her money was saved, do you think I should be entitled to any of it?

    Sorry, Rant over. :o

    The disclosure of information is a statutory requirement.

    Please remember that social workers balance risk, they are not miracle workers.

    Please note that is relation to VC and P, it was not a social worker that killed these children, it was people who were know by them and who should have protected them.

    In both cases there was professionals that were extremely negligent, including education, health and the police, but it is not such good sport to kick these agencies!

    Remember the paeditrician that 'examined' P the day before he died... did not get him out of her pram as he was asleep... he had a broken back at this time... remember the vicar of the church which performed an exorcist on VC... reflect on your own experiences of what you have done to protect a child.

    Most social workers work over 20 hours unpaid a week. The burn out rate is 2 years. The turn over in some teams are 70%. Reflect whether you would put yourself in this job because you feel passionate about the welfare of children.

    Rant over

    Where did I say SS killed these kids?

    SS have let QOC's nephew down thus far and will bear responsibility if anything happens to him. Relect on that.

    stop covering your colleagues backs.

    Rant over.

    Banned from buying anymore RTC jars of sauces after the cupboard shelf collapsed. :eek:

    Banned from buying anymore whoopsies because I had not only filled the normal fridge but had to turn the camping one on too. :o

    Banned from buying anymore gammon, I guess 4 joints between 3 of us was going over the top. ;)

    Banned twice from buying anymore Bodyshop. :rotfl:

    I've already had a rant

    But I don't know Scamps, I assume that as the money that was in the account it traceable to the wife that she has first dibs! The courts really do not like getting involved.

    I am wondering what the hell your wife did all day!

    Still at a loss to know why Ariel is coming through differently on C&C APG to the instore? I know it is a glitch ... or has no one tried the instore APG?

    Many thanks

    Anon

    I used some wombles and tried yesterday.It did not work.

    I did debate if to order online but because I can't use wombles to pay decided against it.I had visions of getting an online apg and ending up in a never ending circle of doing online apg's and not being able to use my wombles.
