Poor dog. People who take on dogs and have no sense of responsibility makes me SO angry. Where is the dog now, still with you?

I meant I did too. Stupid auto correct on my phone !

I am so sorry to hear what happened to you! And I also wanted to say how awful and traumatizing it is to experience something like that. U did too, but in my own bedroom by a guy who had broken in to my flat. Make sure you get the right support if needed, I was very affected by the event and and found it quite difficult for about 6 months after that it happened.

Yes I did, quite interesting. There is another clip on BBC here http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-17234753 which is good. I think UK has a lot to learn from Scandinavia when it comes to childcare, I am Swedish myself and people at home are absolutely shocked when they hear how expensive it is here. In Sweden the maximum fee is ?120 per month for a fulltime place in nursery, and the fees are split in half if you have a second child.

I used to work as a nanny a few years ago when I was doing my masters. Started off with one family and did my last nanny job in 2009 which was a nanny share with two boys. If I remember right, I was paid ?10/hour but if I would have had more than two kids I would definitely ask for more. Nannying is very hard work especially if it involves looking after very young children. I did bathe the kids at times and gave them both breakfast, lunch and dinner. Prepared all meals. I did no housework though, maybe a bit of laundry but only if I had time.

My husband and I have seen a stray dog on the streets nearby Peckham Rye park (north end), and Cheltenham road. We have also seen the dog on Surrey Road. The dog seems nervous of people and there were some people who were trying to 'catch' him earlier tonight unsuccessfully. Has anyone else seen this dog? Stocky build, brown, short hair.
