    That is brilliant news, absolutely well done Max!

    It is my dream to one day come on here and announce to everyone that I am once more in employment....I'll still react to the benefit threads though! :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.

    Never seen the appeal myself.

    I'd happily spend £2,000 on a bicycle frame though and I can't even tell the time using it!

    It is, but compared to some of the u-boats etc it's a tiddler. :)

    Really like Panerai but out of my range (for a year or so yet :))that is why I went for the Victoronix same kind of watch (and it was an ebay bargin:))

    Don't talk to me about blooming watches....ex hubby decided he wanted this gloriously expensive (£1600 or thereabouts) Omega watch prior to his 40th. I told him to ask for money for his birthday plus use some of his get to keep bonus as a deposit.

    Well, he went to put the deposit down on it but then went and took finance out on the whole blooming amount..oh and then blew the deposit money on well....nothing really.

    I was not amused, I could not see (and still can't see) the point in spending over a grand on a bloody watch, it tells the time..nothing more.

    Oh and then I got the blame when he missed one of the payments when he left...apparently, I should have told him to make the payment and then done it for him (we had seperate bank accounts by this time and I had given him a list of what direct debits he needed to set up for 'his' stuff).

    So don't talk to me about blooming expensive watches.....

    My watch cost £2.99. It tells the time.
    Until they start being more useful I'm not paying more.
