    Well done on the weight loss and woooohooooo on the terrimundi (I'd like one please Santa... lol!)

    Sorry to hear DS had a bad day at school. I saw something on the printer at work the other day, I thought of you and what you said abt DS and Autism, so I tracked down the person who printed it and they gave the details of the site... you may have found it already but the info pack looks good. If you want a hard copy printing let me know and I'll do it at work for..... and say it was for so & so...lol!!

    I'll PM you the link x

    Hypno, your weight will suddenly drop, the amount of running you're doing must be having an impact ;)
