been home for the weekendand on the way to the bus stop today (first time i left the house) saw yellow ribbons everywhere, grandparents live in the parish i live in apparently. yeh it's shit, but she's gonna fall off the front page eventually no matter how hard they try, and that £2.5mil reward should go to the national missing persons' charity rather than whoever "finds" her to help out other families in the same situation
