    His nana loves him very much and I hope he will always remember that whatever happens.

    Are you okay Bookie? That sounds a bit ominous? :grouphug:

    Pooky, you're right about the DLA forms, they're horrendous. Just make sure you put all the info in all the boxes, using extra sheets if you need to, even if it means repeating yourself. Assume you're writing to a goldfish - they wont remember info from earlier in the form, and they wont know anything about the condition. Or have common sense.

    I don't really have a garden as such, it's a small fenced off bit with a raised bed taking all the space. But I live in a square with grass in the middle, and grassy bits around. Quite a few of the neighbours have cats. Just had a thought, you don't have to pick up after a cat like a dog...

    The only problem (and I know this is silly and shallow) is that I wouldn't want it going on my bed - I've got nice bedding and don't want claws playing with it! A dog I could just say no, a cat would probably ignore me, so I'd have to remember to shut the door.

    I've just looked on facebook, Bookie he's gorgeous! Sammy, it looks as though Ryan is drawn as always screaming! Very cute though.

    Yes we've repeated everything in every section we can and given them lots and lots of detail. I've helped my friend do hers for her son for years so I knew they needed it repeated over and over.

    Cats are normally pretty good about not sleeping in a place if you train them...both mine are allowed on my bed (I keep a throw at the bottom and they're allowed on there) but are not allowed on DD's beds and they don't try.

    Ames, am gonna go for uni, as there's more of a likelihood I'll get it, and for what I need. The SDP was what I was thinking of, I get MRC and LRM DLA and o25 long term Incap rate, but I probably wouldn't get SDP.

    DLA forms are completely and utterly soul destroying.

    I'll be OK, dont worry. I have loads of allergies, but cant think of anything I've eaten that would trigger it off. I've taken a tablet, and it should ease soon ;) :rolleyes:
    Is it better to aim for the stars and hit a tree or aim for a tree and land in its branches :think:

    Hope you're feeling better soon.

    I agree with Pooky, Ames. Our cats never go on our bed (I'm allergic :o), but know they can go on the kids' beds.

    Ah good Pooky, hope you didn't think I was interfering, it's just that a lot of people don't know how to do them properly.
    Unless I say otherwise 'you' means the general you not you specifically.

    Spud...he knows I know that he had them..there are only two places I keep keys...

    I am not cross, just relieved to have them almost back. If it was me who had done it I would definitely hide them and let them just turn up.

    Hope you are okay...

    Well, they do irritate but I guess that's not the same thing is it :D

    I was fine 15 minutes ago, it just came on suddenly. Will either be fine in a bit or I'm coming down with summat :confused:
