Re the latter subject, the news was mixed and we need to do a lot of thinking, and there's more tests too. We have a diagnosis - there's no cure and no treatment - the prognosis will come from the further testing and will tell us if our daughters will be affected too in the future.:(
There are still others who are much worse off.

Lovely blue skies here! Hope everyone is having a great start to the weekend, unfortunately i am coming down with another slight cold, the joys of working with children!
Great news on the course Candy.
Hi Andan,
Thanks, I hope they do the course this year - last year, I signed up and bought the textbook (via quidco of course) and on the 1st week they said it was delayed by a week, thenit was cancelled. Hopefully I can re-use the same textbook or put it online to get some of the money back
Mammoth list as ever - perhaps I need to take a leaf out of your book
Take care

Did some work today.
Quoted a new job and got it - turnover value of c.£436 a year.
Gave my £21.09 Wahl hair clippers their first run out so saved myself about £7.50 on a haircut. Two more cuts and they will have paid for themselves. My hair is easy as just do a no.1 or 2. Makes me look a right thug. No bailiff would ever mess with me LOL.0 -
