where has the past 32 weeks gone?!) and still loving every minute of it. Things are getting a bit hectic on the work load side, hence the lack of posts on here recently!

I have just finished a weeks attachment to traffic, which surprisingly enough I really enjoyed especically as I don't know one end of a car form another!! Had to do traffic control on one of the busy A roads on friday lunchtime and nearly arrested a bus driver because he wouldn't do what I told him to (God I wish I could have done that at school!!). Have seen

bodies, missing people, disgusting houses, horrible people, nice people, interviewed loads of suspect (fab I love interviewing!) and had the p*£$ taken loads of times from my tutors just because 'I have one of those faces'! But overall I love it, have no regrets and cannot wait until January 25th when my training finished and I get to to 'play' all the time!!

I know it is the wrong forum to post it on, but I know you are all interested really!!

I'm glad you are enjoying it I was watching traffic police on BBC1 tonight I like stuff like that. I thought about joining the police a while ago but I couldn't handle the accidents side of it, (I'm very sqeemish sometimes when lambing too, even applies to sick and snot it make me heave but I have managed to avoid it so far)

WOW I used to sound that excited about teaching! Now I'm just a jaded old moan!

Great to hear that some people love being a police officer, they get nearly as much bad press as teachers.

hope it carries on being good for you.

that's really excellent to hear, I know police suffer from the same politics and moans as the teaching profession does so it's nice when peopel are still really enthusiatic about it. Just hope you are in a few years time. One of my friends is a chief inspector and she is - but she just doesn't like being out the streets anymore so does the theoritical stuff - at least there is a place for both.

Of course we're all interested to hear how you are getting on - no point posting on a 'more appropriate' site, cos we wouldn't see it then! Glad you're still enthusiastic. I'm still enthusiastic too, although I'm thinking I want to go back to the state sector now.

Thank you! Yes I am worryingly enthusiastic about my job! More so than I ever was about teaching (makes me realise I

C'mon Footie, we love hearing about your exploits!

Oh, I like being outside - no such thing as bad weather just bad clothing nutty!! even in the lakes!
I don't know how i'd deal with seeing all the crap, I'm first aid trained but sometimes wonder how i'd deal with it if presented with major stuff. As a youth worker I used to go into some pretty horrendous housing and dealt with it ok, but I quite like lovely bright decroated classrooms now!

And yes, how is the house stuff going?
