Morning all My free bets have been credited this morning but as theres more fa cup matches this afternoon I have put on the rest of my qualifiers which should hopefully get me another 100.00 free bets tomorrow, so then I can start extracting my 200.00 free bets :beer: Quite a profitable weekend really

Yesterday I went for a nice walk in the forest with a friend and then did some aqa'ing last night, although Istill have only got my skip rate down to 55%, I cant see that I'll be able to get it down to 45% by next weekend, but I am up to just over 60.00 on there now, so its a bit more towards the next bill

Today I need to get some stuff on ebay, do the piglets and collect ds as well as try and do some more aqa'ing. Hopefully it will be a nsd too. Have a good day all

Two items on ebay so far, it is sooo dull

benbenandme

Well I managed a nsd so thats good :beer: I also managed to do the first 50.00 of my free bets, will try some more tomorrow night Ds is in bed but not yet asleep, but so far it seems better than the last time he came back from his dads.

Just off to see whether I'm on track for this months money-making, and to work out feb's money.

Hi BenBen

How did you get on with DS tests today? I know when my DS2 was being tested it was the fine motor skills and spacial awareness that was his really weak spot - and then he was diagnosed with the dyspraxia.

Hope all went well - let me know. PM me if you want a chat or want to know anything - my DS2 is now 22 and copes pretty well - a few ups and downs but only to be expected .

Thankyou DFF, it went okay, they said he has Sensry Dysfunction, he is hypersensitive to noise and cant cope with it, which explains some of the problems at school, imagine being with 30 x 5yr olds all day if you dont like noise :rolleyes: He has to have more assessments to see which other senses are affected too. He's also got very flexible joints which is making his co-ordination tricky and will be why the writing is such a problem. He has to go back for more assessments, occupational therapy and physio sessions. I'm sad for him but also pleased that at least we can start helping him with it. He's still my gorgeous benben whatever label he has

Ditto with DS2 - funny how he copes in the noisiest(sp) of nightclubs - but when he gets in a crowd(like a pub) and someone is talking to him and there is lots of background noise from other people it totally throws him off balance with concentrating on what anyone is saying to him. It seems to be more when there's lots of 'yadda yadda' as opposed to loud noise/ loud music (if that makes sense) At least you now have something to work with.

Do you watch Heroes? - DS2 said his hearing is like Matt Parkman when he hears everyones thoughts at once. He said it is the only way to describe it.....................

Re your DS 'settling down for bed' problem - I also had this when he was little and you might find putting a CD on helps him. My DS2 used to hear any little noise like the ticking of a clock / me washing up and clanking the dishes etc. So I brought him a Fisher Price cassette player (as it was in those days LOL) and he had a tape on and you could guarantee he was asleep within three tracks. I think listening to the music (low) blocked anything else out. When any noise got too loud he became really aggressive.
Hope this helps a bit...................anything is worth a try.

Evening all A nsd here again today, ds had a good day again, so am a happy mummy tonight I've cooked his tea, played play-doh, tidied the flat and cleaned the guinea-pigs since I came home. I've also put my free bets on so later tonight I should know how much this matched bet basket has made me, Im reckoning on about 140.00 ish altogether :beer:

Just off to do ds bath now

benbenandme

I've just managed to pick up a mystery shop for next week at a nice supermarket I've had my bath, ds is in there now, and *hopefully* if he goes off to sleep nicely tonight I might be able to squeeze in a bit of aqa'ing I'd also like to try and figure out how much I've made so far from matched betting, considering Im usually pretty organised I haven't really tracked this at all
