Just got news that my parents put a deposit down for a new place. Three bedroom terrace townhouse, facing a park and a river at Ermington! Woah~ Kind of have mixed feelings about this. I'm excited for them about the new place and the move, but then again kind of sad and disappointed that I won't be returning to my old home in Cherrybrook :( When I go home, in a sense it won't really be home. The familiarity won't be there *sigh* I will be further away from some friends, yet closer to some. I will miss my local Gloria Jeans and the nice boy that always gives me a double punch for my card :D I will have no idea about how to get to anywhere from Ermington... -.-" nuh~ no pt worrying over it now, will deal with that when I go bk to Syd I guess.
Just came bk from a trip to Liverpool and Manchester. Had an awesome time! And this week, going to Glasgow and Edinburgh (Scotland).. yippee^^v loving the travelling <3
June will be awesome as well as I am off to Nottingham for a weekend of volleyball and Betty will be coming to London another weekend :) Can't wait!

Fridays we normally finish 4:30pm. At 3pm we were told that they needed 6 Social Workers on stand by. I was one of the 6. A SW was in court, have been for a few days straight, judgement was at 5pm. We all did paperwork till we got the phone call at 6pm. We won the court case, custody awarded to Social Services. From there we had 6 Social Workers, 3 cars, and a mission to attend the home and remove 6 children (14yo - 1yo) from their mum. We arrived and it seemed like the whole neighbourhood was out waiting for the show. Two police cars, 6 coppers were there before us.
From there, it all kicked off. The children were in hysterics, kicking, screaming, swearing, running off in all different directions. The neighbours, friends and family attacked us and the cars. My partner and I grabbed the two we were taking, 4yo and 5yo, and zoomed off. It was heart breaking to hear them yell for mum, and ask us where their other brothers and sisters are going. Although the kids we had were young, they knew full well what was happening, and had the heart to think about their siblings and mum rather than for themselves. It was awful to have to hear them cry and sob from when we got them to when we left them. It was of little comfort that the elder one was sobbing and said to me "it's ok, I am a big boy and I will look after my little brother". Before going they both gave me a hug while still having tears stream down their face.
This is the part of the job I hate. It really makes me wonder whether the kids are better off in the long run. I really do hope so. It breaks my heart though that all 6 kids are now broken up into different foster homes.
What a Friday~ I am so tired... but my mind and heart is still racing. I have done so many removals in the past but this one has hit me hard.
