Removing items of the dock

Hi guys, this is really annoying me now and i need help !
The mrs was playing on the laptop earlier and she has added activity monitor and console to the dock and i try to get rid of them but can't move them anywhere?
Also she has managed to move launchpad somewhere and i can't find it on the home screen anymore .
Anybody help lol

If you don't want an icon in the dock, drag it up into the ether and let it go.
If you want to add Launchpad to your dock, go into Finder and click on Applications. Just click on it and drag it onto your dock. You can change its position by dragging it side-to-side.

i've tried dragging them but they just keep going back to the same position?

That's because they are still open. Quit the applications and then you can remove their icons from the dock.

Take my advice and give "the mrs" her own account unless you enjoy this sort of frustration ...
