    Can't believe people are still talking about one wedding when I am sure there were hundreds of others over the weekend?
    I think....

    Its pretty impressive isn't it. I'm not a huge fan of wedding cake though. I make fruit cake because family like it.

    My mother makes proper wedding cakes - much better than yesterday's royal one, too. She made my best mate's a couple of years ago, and it was gorgeous.

    About 200.
    Over 500,000 views so far I think (could be close to 1,000,000)... I'd need to check.

    Has somebody stolen the real NDG? I didn't have you down as a hubber :)

    Just checked stats, about 800,000 views to date.

    I am indeed. Not a terribly serious one like you, though - about 600 page views a day, I think.

    My own site does better - couple of thousand page views / day.

    Beatrice and Eugenie are astonishingly ugly, don't you think? All huge noses and prominent jaws.

    Frighteningly so.

    Have to say, I don't think she looks good. I think she looks aolder than she is. Soe footage to day showed her in a blue dress to above the knee (higher at the back)and her thighs were painfully thin. Unattractive and, frankly not terriby healthy. she remains attractive because she smiling and nice.

    How tall is she? She's always been slim, I think - but now looks really skinny.

    There's no minimum size anywhere that I was aware of, except in council houses/flats.

    Camden definitely has minimum sizes for new builds / conversions / refurbs.

    My room in my parents' house from when I was about 15 was vast - an attic conversion with windows only a one end, so it could only be one room. It measures about 14 feet x 30 feet.
    From 11 upwards my room was 6'x7'. I had the north-facing box room. No heating either as there was just one coal fire downstairs.

    It was a bit damp too, had to strip the bed down to shake the silverfish out of the bed before I got in it ... EEEEEEWWWWW.

    You're not far off mine. I get about 700-800/day this month as it's dropped. Bet yours are intelligent and make good money. Mine are pretty rubbish to be honest.

    My own sites don't do that well. I really don't have the equipment/space to actually concentrate and do things properly. So I put it off and time passes.

    Mr G's coughed up just shy of £12k for me overall this year by the looks of it. That's my main thing, all the other stuff I do in my eyes "pays the tax bill".

    You know families are a really strange thing

    I dont know any of you really but you are all my online family.

    Michaels, I am sure if we were there we could get Sues w/machine fixed by Monday. But we aint there.

    I am not going to ask any of you to give a penny. You all gave so bliddy wonderfully before.

    And next year it will be a cooker or a fridge freezer or god knows what. That is the nature of families.

    And times are so much tougher.

    However, you can buy a washing machine for about £200 and I can always manage a tenner.

    Sue, can you PM your paypal address please.

    Aww thanks....but after everyone was so generous last year, I really cannot ask for help again.

    I will sort it out, I just need a little time to get there.

    I do hope you are not offended by my reply but I just feel I need to stand on my own two feet rather than being the damsel in distress again.
    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.
    Eldests' EDS diagnosis 4.5.10, mine 13.1.11 eekk - now having fun and games as a wheelchair user.

    My site averages approx 80-100,000 page views a day and 6-7000 unique visitors....but only between March and the end of October.
