Cooper will be fine. According to my Facebook feed this morning, he doesn't skip leg day...... Mooning Marinakis?

Once a fortnight.

@David Here's the advice from Mrs Wolfie... Yes at the start The carer the process is absolutely gruelling. There are lots of checks that have to be done and a really complex and in-depth assessment will need to be completed. The assessment will be the main bundle of information that is considered by the fostering panel prior to foster care has been agreed. I have often seen the impact that the process can have on potential foster carers. I would make the suggestion that they have an open and honest discussion with their supervising social worker. They need to be able to outline what they have said in the post and say that the demands made on them need to be better coordinated. I would suggest to the person who posted this to also ask their supervising social worker who will be completing this assessment to have a flexible approach. This can be at more convenient times for both yourself and your wife and fit around work. There are at times certain companies who have a fostering friendly policy in place, which means that they have very flexible approach to their staff Managing their time around the fostering assessment. If you don’t know anything about this, I would speak to your work and if needed again, you can get the supervising social worker to write to your work just to see if they can provide you with some flexibility. The level of contact that is being suggested is very usual given that the final order hasn’t been made. At the beginning of contact is arranged on the premise that children will return to the care of their parents. For this reason there remains a high level of contact in place. Once an order is agreed by the court the usual level of contact for children who are looked after is around one contact every six weeks and that usually lines up with the school holidays so all I can say for now is hang in there. If the contact goes ahead as once every fortnight, speak with the social worker for the children and see if transport can be arranged to and from the contact and that a member of the social care team can perhaps supervise the contact as well. Hope this helps a bit. You're doing a great thing!

It was just before my 40th birthday when Miss Wolfie appeared & like you, I thought I wasn't ever going to be a dad. Don't go looking too much in books & stuff for do's & don'ts. Most of it will come naturally & in the early weeks, they normally sleep a lot of the time, so you have the space to get used to it. The only other advice I ever give people is to get them into a routine as early as possible - and stick to it. Oh, and enjoy that wonderful smell of your new baby's head as much as you can - or was that just me?!

Are you fostering through the local authority or a private organisation?. Forgive me if I've missed an obvious answer in your post @David Only because Mrs Wolfie has many years' experience in this field via managing various social work teams (not Derbyshire) and I'll ask if she can offer any guidance or reassurance.

Thanks. I did wonder if it was because F*rest are at home on Saturday.

Why is it on Thursday?. When all other games are Saturday and it's not on SKY?

Wow, I haven't seen 63/100 of those. So many old ones though. I've probably seen most of the listed films made in the last 40 years but hardly any of the pre 1960's ones - and there are a lot of them!.

Christmas films: Die Hard Home Alone Elf

My highlight of yesterday’s game…

No offence meant. I was commenting on a lot of the negative imdb reviewers from many who literally needed to know exactly what was happening and have the film explain it to them. I liked that there was a lot of uncertainty about what was actually happening & that made it all the more realistic to me. If that was to suddenly happen in reality, do we really expect to be kept fully informed at all times as to what is happening, why and who's doing it? No spoilers from me, but what I will say is that it's all very well having an amazing bunker under your house - as long as you're at home (with an unlocked bunker) when it all kicks off. How annoying would that be?! Oh, and Elon Musk isn't happy about it (no spoilers), so it should earn extra points for that alone IMO.

Leave the world behind (Netflix). A new disaster thriller about a group of people living through general weirdness and possible apocalypse. Seriously marmite reviews on IMDb. Definite love or hate response to this one due to the lack of spoonfeeding the plot, as far as I can make out. It lets you draw your own conclusions and many people seem to hate that. I was in the former group. This one will stay with me I think. 8.5/10 and the best film I’ve seen this year.

There's going to be goals in that game. Hopefully a few sendings off as well.

Always good to have a different club up with the usual suspects in the Prem. West Ham, Newcastle, Brighton etc. Even if you don't like the clubs, it keeps it competitive. I actually don't mind Villa & having beaten both Man City & Arsenal in the same week, they deserve to be mixing with the best. For now.

Clickbait thread titles offend me

.....and you know he isn't doing this already, how?. I don't know the man but he doesn't strike me as someone who doesn't have a plan. Maybe he should do it "quietly and selectively" but keep us all informed at the same time?

Unless you’re Fulham

3-0. Big match to lose badly, with Bournemouth winning at the mo.

I understand how the economics works but I just don't see how offering your population an alternative currency which sporadically halves in value, solves the issue of a currency that, yes, devalues, but you could argue in a more predictable way.
