Hi Worried Nan,

IN my limited understanding it is as follows:
Yes no longer LAC
No you share PR w/ BP's 51:49 in your favour
Don't know the last one!

Ch ch ch changes every day another way

TBH IED, I am totally p***ed off. this is another continuatuion of the same crap I've been dealing with for the last year. No, they aren't going to stay apart, its utter nonsense. They (LA) rang back and said that I couldn't work FT, only part time. So when do I earn the money to pay for the involve...

Well thats all changed. Now looking @ ICO. FFS

Suzie,
Until 17.00hrs yesterday we were looking @ a SGO.

Letter posted asking for confirmation within 14 days from date of letter. Next thing is to move money around.

HI Folks, Questions questions here: Timetable has been altered somewhat.... Further CM Hearing scheduled for 25th Feb, IRH for 20th March and Final Orders for 1st April (no joke). SW thinks it may go a bit further than that due to the way the Reports have come in :shock: She has advised me not to bo...

Hi Folks,

So am I correct in thinking that the LA can pay until the child is 18?
The reason I ask is that I will be a pensioner by the time DGD is 15 YO.
Its going to be challenging enough to afford the nursery fees....

Went to Panel yesterday: recommended as foster carer.
BF completely discounted by both LA & DGD's Guardian.
BM still being assessed, still has to make big choices HOWEVER DGD is safe so far
