Lol....well yes but even that is losing its appeal!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.0 -

This article might help.
It's By Anthony Hilton - he's the Financial Editor of the London Evening Standard and he's brilliant IMHO.
The article is entitled "Cheer up, it's not so bad really"
I came in to this world with nothing and I've still got most of it left. :rolleyes:0 -
no i would do it all again because it gave me the biggest kick up the backside i ever had and made me realize that things dont come to you gift wrapped on a plate but also luck plays a big part.I asked you on another thread what you would have done differently back then...but by the time I posted it, then came back, got distracted, I may have missed your reply.
You mentioned in another post about the problems you had but said, looking back you would have done things in a different way. I just wondered what they were.......not being nosy or anything...well, a little bit. Recession survival tips.
I got the lesson when i was only 24 so i had plenty of time to get back and get it right
.I learnt that my problem was i too trusting of people who lied for their gain but only experience and age can give you that.
Just thought ..i would of gone br very quickly if i had to do it all again but i did not and now realize what a fool i was for not....It is nice to see the value of your house going up'' Why ?
Unless you are planning to sell up and not live anywhere, I can;t see the advantage.
If you are planning to upsize the new house will cost more.
If you are planning to downsize your new house will cost more than it should
If you are trying to buy your first house its almost impossible.0 -

my husband runs the business with his business partner, so they have said if the worse comes to the worse they would go and work for someone else.
A good thing about self-employment is the job-security.
Providing you are good at what you do, are adaptable to changing circumstances, you are very unlikely to fire yourself or make yourself redundant.
All business is the same. Going from self-employment to being employed is just a hope that the other people are better than you, or that they have developed more trade contacts to keep work and money coming in.0 -

Bloody hell, I thought you were a lot older - you seem so miserable much of the time.

Thanks for that........the trusting thing is really interesting.no i would do it all again because it gave me the biggest kick up the backside i ever had and made me realize that things dont come to you gift wrapped on a plate but also luck plays a big part.

OH got done for £50k 4 years back by a company who liquidated before final payments etc. He trusted them when they said they would pay in full. What he should have done was to have walked off the job (with 12 men) as soon as 1 weeks money didn't come through.
He will never, ever get caught out like that ever again.
My own business lost money and, instead of laying off staff etc (because I couldn't face it at the time) I borrowed my way through it.
In the end, I ended up with no staff (by them leaving one by one to do other things and I didn't replace them ) but with a great big debt.
Being a good, honest boss and taking my resposibilities seriously cost me dear. I know I will never employ, directly, ever again. Sub out every time.
The age thing is so true.
Thanks for that.;)0 -
we had regular holidays including to Disneyland Paris....
<wince>
sorry you had to go through that.......much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.0
