As a LAC child dgd should be entitled to a place in school. I know she may not be keen but for every bodies sanity maybe it is worth a try

Love and positive vibes to you beanie, Master J and Mr N. I know when we had more than one mog in the house a very poorly one was a soure of concern to the other one.

Master J is hanging on well, may he slip gently into perfect painfree peace when the time comes.

I hope all is well with you and you're managing as well as possible.

Love Pollyx

No problem beanie. You're very much in my thoughts at the moment. It's very sad neither he or his sister had more time with you. Comfort yourself in the knowledge you took them in, became their mum and loved and cared for both. Hopefully you'll have lots of good memories to look back on over the years. We still laugh at memories form over the years. Cat of the heart had a manic half hour every day and would race through the house and up and down the stairs like a whirling dervish until he'd calmly walk away. We always suspected the large clump of catmint he lay in on sunny days had a lot to do with that. He had little frog friends he'd gently carry in to show us and we had to watch said frog have a wander until he was gently carried back to his pond.

Every year there would be a new blackbird friend with distinctive white wing markings. The newest member of a generation who I suspect one has been dropped on the head after birth. the fledglings would fall off fences and I was forever climbing over a 7ft fence to rescue them and return to the screeching parents.. latest blackbird woud be alongside cat in the sun and i swear they were having conversations. He was a loving but very strange cat very gentle but with an odd assortment of friends. I think his funniest thing was when he tried to bring a baby hedgehog indoors to meet us. He never tried that again.

Cherish your memories beanie and take care of yourself.

She is not a LAC child - There is a Special Guardianship Order in place in favour of SS which gives her overriding PR for DGD.  Although as a vulnerable child they may offer her a place.

Sorry I thought she had at one point been subject to care proceedings. In my LA/ Academy trust she would certainly be offered a place.

Yes she was subject to Care Proceedings about 10 years ago, the permanency outcome was SGO to SS, at which point she stopped being a Looked After Child.  She may well be offered a place under different criteria but not because she is LAC or at risk of significant harm.

Polly, I love the thought of your cat having cross-species friendships I'm afraid the only concept my big lad recognises is 'lunch' Little girl doesn't leave my bedroom, but she is very taken with her new, 3 tier, bed that is sited so that she can see out of the window.

All went well with the visit to boys Mum/granny etc. The littlest loved riding on the pony. They sent me a lovely picture of them. Dgs1 was less keen. I sewed until about 6pm. 

The boys were back about 7. It did take a while to get them settled though. Then I commandeered my TV back in my room and watched several episodes of The Durrells before I fell asleep.
dgs2 was awake at 4.30 but he did go back to sleep until 7.-15
dgs1 woke at 6.45
Housework is on the agenda for the day. But I have a large order of 16 masks to do that I missed in the middle of the huge lot and so is now urgent.
