Hi all,



I hope you're all okay, or as okay as possible.



We've had another extension, I'm not overly surprised but they left it 6 days before and I was getting my hopes up everyday that we got closer.



Turns out they've known over 2 months it would be extended, you wouldn't think I've BEGGED them to tell me as soon as they know so I don't spiral would you.



I had a few questions about bail extensions really, on our timeline they said the last item was with forensics months ago and due back may and then in May it got expedited to another lab... and that lab is to start work on it in mid August???? How is this fair or legal?



They also kept the parts saying it was already in progress out of the new timeline for extension again surely this isn't legal?



Also, they've said they need to keep our computer but there's no mention of that on the timeline or form.



It's now creeping over the year mark and while this has been the quickest year of my life its come at the cost of having not one single memory or appreciation of anything good that has happened. I feel like I've lost an entire year of my kids lives and I'll never recover.



Our legal aid won't help with anything so I was wondering if we were to pay for a solicitor does that get the police to speed up? I said 3 months ago I couldn't go through another extension and I really don't think I can and I know they'll do it again. Oh we also ONLY now just got told that the form we sent to the court about 6 months ago for bail amendment was the wrong form. We asked why it's not been looked into and got send the form to do it again and it was a completely different form. Our solicitor also left the firm with no word for weeks until we pressed the firm then got told and was moved to someone else and now the original guy is back and we have to go back to him (we asked to change due to not being confident with him - they said no)
