    only ever seem to come on in times of need sorry!
    Had DS' appointment last week and they have made a firm diagnosis of Aspergers. Although its not entirely unexpected and not the end of the world and could be so much worse, but we are a bit shocked and feeling a bit numb really.
    Serious case of the Black Dog. Have phoned my lovely GP and am going to see her on Thurs. Havent felt great for months and this is the last straw really. Not sure what I want her to say/do but I have to do something.
    Since Wednesday I have made so many phone calls to various organisations I dont know if I am coming or going. I have tons of forms to fill in and already everything feels very overwhelming so here I am again to try and get my life a bit more in order.

    Thankyou for having me back and my next post will be relevant and list related. I know in the past the support on here has helped me through some difficult times.

    And big hugs to everyone in need at the moment.

    Massive, huge, squidgy hugs Jill xxx

    Sandy - hope things have gone ok for you xxx

    LL - thinking of you and sending some spare fairy dust your way - I keep being sprinkled liberally with the stuff and am having to put it in cupboards and drawers to stop the place looking over sparkly!! hugs sweetie xx

    Tootles - Hello!!!!!!!!

    I've done lots of pottering today but no full lists. The weather is too nice so had to keep taking the dogs out to make the most of it. I've also planted some peas and put the new compost bin in it's place. If anyone had ever told me how excited I'd be about having two compost bins I'd have laughed! Officially sad - that's me! :Txx

    Afternoon all
    Pooh - has your snow all gone yet?

    Not yet:( But it is going, slowly.

    The road to DD and SIL is open at last. Opened yesterday.

    I can now see snowdrops in the garden which makes me hopeful that Spring won't be far away.

    But working in the garden is still unimaginable which is why I bought some daffies in pots. I have been told they will probably die as it is so cold.


    Mudbath I am jealous. We can't work in the garden yet. I have sown some basil and coriander inside and put them to germinate in the kitchen.

    Sorry your morning so unproductive, hope Thursday goes better. Any news on OB situation? Just living room flying myself

    Thanks. I've just spoken to the warden at the sheltered accommodation and she was great. She said she saw absolutely no reason why the OB can't go out if he wants. He's an adult and knows his own mind and she's perfectly happy to let him do whatever he wants until whenever she's told otherwise by someone in authority :D So I've called him and will pick him up at 6.30pm tomorrow.

    Also nipped in the corner shop but the person the son spoke to wasn't there so I'll have to nip back another day.

    Living room and hall all sparkling - so much easier than the kitchen - so I'm off to award myself a star!

    Though... having sorted my post it appears the council tax clowns have STILL not done their job.. how long does it actually take to say 'oh yes you are poor we will pay X amount'..???

    I love making people to their jobs!!
