....yep...HAVE to...why?...well it's all about a school exchange visit. My kid gets to go to Frankfurt for 2 months and we take the German kid in for 2 months....so waht I here you ask...well apparently the UK social services deem this to be an official fostering!! We now have to go through a full criminal record check, provide proof of iD passports etc and have a full inspection of our home carried out by social workers to ensure we are fit and proper parents and acceptable foster parents!
There is no such requirement in Germany for the other kids parents.
I dont mind doing this, I just think it's a bit over the top ...I mean I have to officially foster a kid to get this done...wow...oh well...ho hum...

At least you can get little Hans to earn his keep by doing all the housework and gardening for you.

last time i went to the skool peasant...erm...parents meeting I made a Rucksack joke which my son informed me was embarrassing....so last night I said nothing....the Frau however made a cellar joke to the German teacher....I think they had a mutual dislike of Austrians.

So for the socila inspection I need to remove the rucksack from the cellar
