... or you could start building an ark.  ;)

Mrs Noah: You promised you'd fix the goat pen!
Mr Noah: But God told me to build this. Look, he's given me instructions and everything.
Mrs Noah: Any excuse!  ::) Ever heard of 'displacement activity'?!

Yep, had enough of this rain now in Yorkshire! Son in Hull said his road is flooded, and York races abandoned so groups of disgruntled men wandering from pub to pub all day- not much fun for anyone. Daughter said it's all my fault for saying it's good for the garden!

I actually work in a Primary School, my  brief is to raise attendance, decrease exclusions, support Mums and Kids with all manner of problems, and encourage parents to come into school and get involved.I look after all the volunteers in school, do the students placements that come from the colleges. I organise all the classes for parents, and we have done a lot now, I am on my second year of running TA courses.I do a home visit to every child that comes to our school and for pastoral and other reasons I do about 4/5 home vists a day on average. I am available to both Mums and children if they need help with anything really , and I am usually at any child protection meetings.

I teach the Family Links Nuturing Programme, a 10 week course for learning new parenting skills. Like  a Supernanny  idea.
I do quite a lot of counselling too, which is my background.
