    Did you ask them to mind their own business ?

    Is it on the news yet, do you have crowds outside discussing the renters in our midst.

    Do you ring a bell as you walk down the road to warn people "in the village".

    Congratulations on 500 posts. No I just ignored them, I am so depressed by all this. It is affecting my performance in the bedroom too. I have a feeling my husband will be looking elsewhere for satisfaction. One of the old ladies I spoke about earlier keeps giving him the eye too which is unnerving me.

    Much as I would like to buy I currently rent a place for £700pcm that would cost me around £850 pcm to buy assuming I had the £40k deposit (which I most definately do not have even close to.)

    Renting is by no means all bad.

    Unfortunately it is not a given right to be able to buy. We have been priced out.

    You must be old. Satellite dishes existed when I was at school.

    When I was at school we'd only just started having satellites.:o

    Quite so. That being said short term I have a much better deal than I would if I brought.

    Long term? well i not the sort of person who gets too hung up on what will happen in 25 years time.

    When I was at school, my parents hadn't joined the modern times and didn't have a VCR (yep that was the 'new' technology when I started high school).
    We made it! All three boys have graduated, it's been hard work but it shows there is a possibility of a chance of normal (ish) life after a diagnosis (or two) of ASD. It's not been the easiest route but I am so glad I ignored everything and everyone and did my own therapies with them.
    Eldests' EDS diagnosis 4.5.10, mine 13.1.11 eekk - now having fun and games as a wheelchair user.

    This type of trolling is fairly low IMHO.

    This kind of trolling is very low.
    Moreso considering the nicking of a respected posters name.

    :( to this thread & the OP.
    It's getting harder & harder to keep the government in the manner to which they have become accustomed.

    Yes, we had the first VCR I had seen at my grammar school. Only the physics masters were allowed to operate it.:rotfl:
