I also forgot to say, every local authority should have produced a 'family and friends carer policy' by September 2011, though not all have done so. The Family Rights Group website also has details of this and the ones that have been published can be accessed on there. If your local authority has one, it should help you to check whether they have followed it. If they do not have one, you are within your rights to ask if they do have one. However I do know how difficult it is to assert your rights whilst trying not to upset anyone, when you feel they have such power over your grandchildren's future.

j05 we are under strict instructions not to issue Christmas emoticons until after JessM's birthday grin

We have, however, taken them down from the attic in preparation. They are a bit dusty so Geraldine is cleaning them all by hand. It may take a while

nightowl Sat 01-Dec-12 15:24:40

Sorry J0 I'm all over the place today grin

Can I come back if I get my christmas pinny on?

Ana Sat 01-Dec-12 15:26:53

When is JessM's birthday? I hope it's not December 24th...hmm

jO5 Sat 01-Dec-12 19:08:43

Yes. You can nightowl. Definitely!

Right-o Cari. Will be patient. Geraldine is a good, hardworking girl. smile

JessM Sat 01-Dec-12 19:54:51

But my birthday is not until May. Are you thinking of someone else?

Ana Sat 01-Dec-12 20:07:06

Or is it a cunning GNHQ prevarication technique? confused

CariGransnet (GNHQ) Sat 01-Dec-12 20:31:30

JessM oops blush - quite right.

So let's stick to Geraldine dusting. I'll make her a snowball - that may speed things up a bit

CariGransnet (GNHQ) Sat 01-Dec-12 20:31:56

Ana as if grin

jO5 Sat 01-Dec-12 22:01:06

There was something on a thread about waiting until after someone's birthday before having a particular emoticon. Can't for the life of me remember what/who it was. [racks brain unsuccessfully surprise surprise hmm

Anne58 Sat 01-Dec-12 22:53:47

Not

CariGransnet (GNHQ) Sun 02-Dec-12 09:40:56

It was jeni's birthday! I knew there was a j and an e... confused

jO5 Sun 02-Dec-12 09:43:26

Right! I knew a birthday came into it somewhere. smile

jeni Sun 02-Dec-12 09:47:13

Mine tomorrow

CariGransnet (GNHQ) Tue 04-Dec-12 10:03:28

In which case...hope you had a wonderful birthday. And <cough> is there anyone else who has a birthday in the next couple of weeks that we can use as the excuse to get the festive emoticons out? Geraldine is being very slow with the dusting. It's probably all the mulled wine um... work related

Anne58 Tue 04-Dec-12 10:06:09

Well, I've managed to put up the advent calendar, I know it's a few days late, but I only got the link this morning.

jO5 Tue 04-Dec-12 10:06:56

grin grin

Bit of a shock was it? jeni's being on the third! grin

glammanana Tue 04-Dec-12 10:08:04

Is Geraldine the culprit for the evaporation of the mulled wine in the Grotto or is there another culprit.

GeraldineGransnet (GNHQ) Tue 04-Dec-12 10:18:18

Not me <hic>
