    how about tracing over it and checking the size every few months and that way you will have a record of change?

    Just going out to get Holly weighed as not been for ages!

    Bruno - I agree with Caz. You don't need that much space for the three of you. My mum bought a Nissan Note a few weeks ago. I haven't looked inside it yet, but they chose it because of the space in the back/boot since they suddenly have 2 grandchildren. Not sure if the seats fold down separately like they do in a Honda Jazz, therefore giving loads of space. Only mentioning it as I think it was one you listed the other day but I forgot about it when catching up.

    Weigh in is now on hold.....I hear grunting!

    I keep meaning to get chewlerry for Chris! doh!

    Caz, any sign of the DLA yet? If you get middle rate care (or above) get onto the family fund. There are a few charity sites that can give you a grant to get a blanket, probably best to ask on the Autism support thread, the ones I know of are more for physical disabilities.

    Can't help with the sleep issue, Christopher's sleep problems are not to do with him refusing to sleep, sorry.

    Weezl, it's a quilted blanket filled with polypropylene pellets in the squares, then one side lined with fleece. Ebay sell the pellets so I reckon if you were handy with a sewing machine you could knock one up. Fiddly with the pellets, but possible.

    OK I just meal planned next week based on your menu, moved things about to work with our days. :D
