    Well I can always delete my posts too....for a price of course! :rotfl:
    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.

    Hehe, it was me getting excited....well got to work out a way of how to afford the dinner I am supposed to be going out to on Saturday (yes I am actually going out, yippee!).

    And fungus, the thought of 3 monsters (my children) would soon stop your excitement, we come as a package...a full of stress package!:eek:

    I'm sure the docks will come through, the workforce have seen 101 restructures, rationalisations, 'need for change' , call it what you will. The workforce have accepted change before, somewhat begrudgingly at times, no-doubt they will again. The dock has paid us a handsome wage and the workers will remain committed to company. Lower volumes will permit faster turn-round times for the vessels, which, long term bodes well for any upturn.
    Also, let's not forget Gods gift to Felixstowe - it's geographic location.

    Wow. You used words like "begrudgingly" and "bodes well" and very few spelling mistakes at all. You talk just like a senior manager.;)

    (Apostrophe should be on "Gods" and not "it's" before anyone else points this out)
