    MFD tell Mr MFD quick!!

    You know, something that annoys me more than just about anything else is when someone says, As a person with XXX, I think that something only barely related is true, as though their XXX implied a vast amount of knowledge. I've just had another email from the Same Difference woman saying that as a person with a disability, she thinks that what helps one family might not help another and so she's leaving the original review and keeping 3's one off the page. As a person with a pair of breasts, I think a bra that fits one woman might not fit another - what exactly does that have to do with the price of tea? I responded again telling her exactly how she could protect herself from liability and pointing out that people who use her site do so looking for unbiased opinion, which she isn't providing.

    Same post to me, SS. I sent her a minor rant about how she had chosen sides and would come to regret it :p possibly not quite as strongly as that.

    A response: she's also taken the positive review off.

    Golden! "After some consideration of what you said, I have now removed the original xxxx from Sxxxx. I have worked far too hard on the site to allow anything to threaten that hard work. I feel the best thing for myself and for the site is to stay away from anything relating to xxxx."

    VTS, Vanishing twin syndrome.

    DH started out in life as a twin.

    MOTM, (and others) its experiances like yours that make me want to be a better MW.
    Happy birthday to your twins! And also, i had a private early scan. It was a lovely experiance and so nice to see Lily as a tiny little bean (or smudge on the screen which she looked more like at 7 wks)
    I also got 5 printed scan pics, and a disc with 2 videos and 13 scan pics.

    3, i joined up to the fb page and have seen the comments from GN. What a total b!tch.

    Lily sat up today for about a minute!:j:j She usually falls after about 15seconds but actually stayed sat up. She has lovely posture too :cool:
    Im so proud of her my heart is bursting :o

    We went to Tesco and have come out with reduced Chocolate Melt In The Middle pudding, drool.

    I've just been thinking that one day when I have acquired oodles of money from somewhere I am going to spend it on a derelict country house and create an autism-friendly holiday destination - not for healing purposes per se but somewhere with a quiet room and a sensory room and not tons of breakable stuff about the place and lots of open space and nobody coming at kids and waving hands around them and such like - just a place where parents can relax for a minute and not worry that their kid is going to be yelled at and stared at and otherwise be intruded upon by people who don't understand why they're not doing what other kids do.

    I almost feel a bit sorry for the same difference person, she clearly didnt understand what she was getting into posting 3's blog :rotfl:

    Well, last day of holiday today, boo. We went shopping and S was evil so OH bought his stuff and then we came home. Then he went to bed after working last night. Sigh. What a pointless week!

    I am going to suggest to him that next week on one of the days I am at home he takes S to visit his great grandparents in somerset, at least that way i'll get a few hours to myself!

    Nan went and spoke to council, she is going to view a flat thats available immediately on Tuesday :eek::eek::eek: things could move ahead quicker than we thought if she likes it, I am so ridiculously unprepared to move its untrue!! I almost hope she doesnt take it, but then god knows when the next one could come up? Both her place and mine need completely gutting before we move and we've no time! Have just realised how stressful its going to be organising two lots of house moving :eek:
