    Absolutely! Or a Cobra, or a Scrump Jack, or a Moscow mule, or a well, you get the idea! :D And a good read of Evo. :)
    Are you sure it's ok to feed your son dog biscuits?! I hope so cause it will be much easier to feed my niece and nephew! :rotfl: If they're lucky, I might even put a tin of Pal in! :D
    Have you tried the Vicks nasal stick? It may help you. I love the smell of Vicks, very addictive! Your poor hubby, I bet he's looking forward to you getting better! ;):D
    That's kind of your uncle to do that for you. What's he teaching you?! :rotfl:I reckon I would be quite good as a teacher. All that shouting, yelling and beating or am I thinking back to my CIA days?! :rotfl: :rotfl: :D


    lmao.......:rotfl::rotfl:, well you have given me a right laugh here SD........:rotfl::rotfl:.
    I asked Dan what he was playing at, he said the till girls said he could have some........blimey they did not confuse him for a dog did they? lmao.......:rotfl: lots of peeps take their pets in there its lovely.:A

    Your poor niece and nephew bless them......:rotfl::j
    Tried lots of stuff for my nose, it works for a little while but not for long, had nasal sprays, the lot. Never mind, its my fault......:(.

    My uncle teaches Dan not me lol........:rotfl::rotfl:, mind you I could do with it though....
    Dan is home educated, due to lots of issues that went on at school.....nothing worked for him as much as we tried,I was more down that school with him than I was at home.....:eek:.
    So uncle helps with the basics really, Maths is the main and science, and English, I do lots of reading with Dan though, everyday, this I find very important.

    He may be going to college this coming Sept, helped and to be organised by his key worker, fingers crossed, it will be a year earlier but to get something behind him will be good.

    My oldest son Jamie is against Dan having home education, he loved school and even when ill could not keep him home lol.
    But luckily I have a very good uncle, otherwise things may have been different.;)

    I like to please! :beer::j
    Ah yes, the old "the shop staff said I could take it" excuse...! :D First it starts with dog biscuits, next it will be dvd recorders and microwaves! Ask marshallka, she likes a good loot! :rotfl: :rotfl:
    Poor me for having to put up with the little tykes! :A :D Nah, they're ok, just a bit hyper but that's because they love seeing their uncle SD! :beer: I find a couple of whiskeys calms them down though..... :rotfl:
    It's good Dan learns the important core skills. To be honest, to this very day to me, I still think the rest of school was a waste of time. Just English, maths and science were important to me and nothing has changed, even now. :)
    All the time you're watching your back, you can never look forward...

    pmsl..........:rotfl::rotfl:.
    Your soooo funny lol........:rotfl::rotfl:.
    Bet they are lovely kids SD.......:A:D.
    Blimey........booze the easy way out lol.........:rotfl::rotfl::D.

    He is far more calmer, I know the school he was in was huge, something like 1500 or maybe 1600 pupils, but he was in a unit and still could not settle, a special needs school closed down as well which used to be nearby, and one his specialists said about this one unit and said it would not suit Daniel because this unit a few miles away was mainly for kids with ADHD, some did have Aspergers as well but with ADHD, this with Dan having anxiety disorders he was getting very ill with it, the school said they could not get any sound out of him and he would sit away from everyone, more or less in the corner.
    Sad.
    He had a mentor........it was getting very stressful trying to deal with the school, he was on School action plus plan as well, but said they could do no more.
    It taken us years, a few of my mates who live in England said if we were living there, then things may have got sorted out quicker for him.
    But who knows???

    He is doing well now though and far settled and contented, even put on a little weight now as well, he was too skinny before, and getting so tall.
    He is a size 9 foot and almost 5'9 now and used to be so small for his age.

    OMG, I'm going on about my life story.........:eek::o:rotfl::rotfl:

    His school had a great GYM, his school mentor used to take him in break times, check this out here at his school he did go to.

    Blimey, sounds like you guys had a right roller coaster ride! Not very pleasent at all. Typical of a school to wash their hands of a child in need. I'm not at all suprised though seeing as they're more concerned with exam results rather than actually helping out the students that really needed it. I can relate to this. When I was at school and under achieving, I would just get bollockings all the time instead of being offered extra help. I excelled in science and was pretty good at maths. I finished off by getting a job making parts on lathes and milling machines for nuclear irradiators and radioactive calibration machines. I did that for three years then another year doing quality control before doing what I do now. :A :j

    All that stuff that was available to him! It must have been like a massive activity centre! I might quit work and get a job there! :D
