I’m still working out but I’m not going to update daily I will update periodically as this could get pretty boring otherwise.

We are supposed to be caring and unselfish citizens and the government should lead by example in this.

However when a foster carer who has looked after a child with severe learning difficulties caused by the parents for 18 years then the child wins a vast sum of money in compensation and responsibly looks after the money ensuring that it is not being dipped into and is growing for the child to have the benefit in later life.

Why does the local authority think it has the right to bully the foster parent into allowing them to “look after” the money for a nominal charge? The foster carer has been doing a good enough job for the last I don’t know how many years.

On a similar note why would social services try to get this now adult back with the birth parents who did unspeakable things to cause the child the mental health issues?

What sort of example is the local authority leading?

British social services are a disgrace with no accountability for allowing children to stay at risk for far too long as well as giving the parents unsupervised access allowing the sick people who are these childrens so called parents further opportunity for abuse.

Leading by example, successive governments are leading the country into the depths from which we will never recover. This is why there are so many scumbags out there. No deterrent.

Today I received an alarming letter from my former employees.

It advises that they have discovered that two IT back-up storage tapes cannot be accounted for and are missing. It goes on to say that the storage tapes contain HR data relating to staff in employment with the Cattles Group up to October 2010. It also advises that it includes detailed personal data such as date of birth, NI numbers, home addresses, and even worse bank account details. They believe that it is likely that my data was included on these tapes, and that they went missing at the end of November 2011.

They go on to say that there is no evidence that the information has fallen into the wrong hands, but thay cannot rule it out either.

They then go on to advise that I should join ProtectMYID to make sure people aren’t taking out credit in my name.

To receive this information eight months after being informed that my services were no longer required when they shut my branch down is a kick in the teeth to say the least.

I’m also wondering if I can legal action against them for not taking proper care of my personal details.

I would like to thank my former employers for making 2011 a year to forget on many different levels

Being out of work has I can say been a mindnumbingly boring phase of my life. One day seems to merge with another and mentally I felt it was more than restricting my powers of communication in fact they appeared to be diminishing.

What did I do about it? I decided to get off my backside and try to get fit (healthy mind, healthy body and all that) which is when the injury occured. Slowly my mental state has relapsed again.

So now what am I going to do about it. Well I’m getting my self organised as if I still had a job. I’ll be getting up early, straight to the gym then home for some odd jobs as well as shopping and specific timings for job searches.

I’m also hoping to update daily to help with my mental state, which will hopefully improve.

On the basis of the whole series I’d have to say no, but and this is a massive but however good the show dance of Rachel and Vincent was, the dance that was performed by Tom and Camilla to the tune of If they could see me now was spectacular to say the least.

At the beginning of the show and for most of the show our favourites were John Sergeant for comedic value and Austin for dance ability. After both were eliminated for whatever reason it was difficult to chose the the best of the three. For some reason Lisa however much she has improved (and she has in my uneducated profession lol) was never going to win it.

The best dancer overall was clearly Rachel, the best dance was in my opinion Austins Pasa Doble. To win the show though Camilla had undoubtedly saved this dance for all the years she’d been waiting for a final, and boy was it worth the wait.

The winner of Strictly Come Dancing, did they deserve it?
