Ah pre-Year-End splashing out on technology. Found in universities across the UK this week and next....!

Nope, not around here. This is earned by teaching a very profitable short course - this funds my institute is allowed to spend at their discretion. The rest will fund PhD studentships, I have said.

Damn I am in the wrong place - we get no year end splash on technology just a rush for the remaining glue stick before the new budget gets set, approved and then allocated. Till then it is every teacher for his/her self and I am in charge of stock so only I know where I have squirrelled away secret supplies - I am bribable:p

Well done, Maru. Hugs, Thrifty and good luck Crickett.

I have not had a wonderful day myself - but getting better. On a positive note - I have an iPad2. And have not had to pay for it - work did (well I worked hard for work and they expropriate my surplus value - will expalin later).

My H has just bought one. Whilst it's nice it really is nothing more than a glorified Ipod Touch

Thrifty - don't apologise. Ever. You have no need to. if people want to comment then they can !!!!!!, in the nicest (or not so nicest) possible way. Because ASD isn't a condition which is visible it's not immediately recognised. Besides what motivates an Aspie/ASD person isn't going to be pleasing his parents, like most kids, it will probably way be something in relation to his special interest (if they have one). This came from the mouth of a young man who goes around giving talks on what it's like to have Autism. He only got a job in order to pay for his Sky box and Man U season ticket. People assume because they can walk and talk that they are capable. My DS sometimes lacks that transferrence of skill ability. He finally learnt to let other children come first in a running race but he couldn't transfer that new found skill to allow ME to be first iin the same race. It was all compartmentalised. Sorry wittered on a bit there Thankfully not yet had the displeasure of dealing with some fcukwit who thinks they know best. But I am sure I will do at some point.

But how glorious it is! Guys, I suppose one ought to be a gadgets' adict to appreciate the beauty of these machines. I love technology, always have and always will.

I got an android tablet instead (whilst it's good fun, I am not sure it's really useful... I do like it now though) Good for Kindling and Facebooking in bed really. What more could a girl want. I did watch a film on the train - and people kept interrupting me to ask me what it was... well it is HD you know x

Morning Matrix.

Not feeling the best this morning... and I have a very full day ahead. Occupational Health and a costing with seemingly infinite variations which need detailed attentions. Oh... what joy. Never mind, got to be done.

But, on the good news front... my new blog is up and running. If you want to pop along and have a read, please look at my homepage. And enjoy it!

Crickett: Good Luck today with your Occupational Health appointment. Good idea about blogging and stitching. I really feel if you can find things to occupy yourself, for a while it keeps the strange /awful feelings at bay and slowley you find they have gone:jHope that makes sense. Hugs anyway.

Thrifty: Hugs to you also. Sanctamonious, so called friends, even strangers who feel they have the right to comment on other people make me so mad. Well done on how you have handled this and an even bigger well done for reaching your new place.
I experienced this behaviour from people with my late Mum, she constantly had to cough to clear the phlem and always did it very discreetly into a tissue(she couldn't swallow) and also had speech difficulties. People would tut, ask me what she wanted, always talking over her head and on one occassion someone said to me she shouldn't be allowed out in public as she was infectious:eek:

Pottering day here today, got lots of bits to sort out but no big nasties:j

The sun is trying to shine through the rain clouds - you know those lovely shafts of crystal bright light shining through the holes in the black bottomed clouds. Which is lovely because all three of us now have a summer cold - red runny noses a go-go here Chez MG

Still there is a little bit of colouring in to do before I need to engage my brain again - so today my just have to be a gentle pootle day. Maybe even a gentle tidy up as we are on a mission to find £11 odds in change by the end of month.

Back later

Have bookmarked your blog Crickett, will have a look later on today.

Speaking of blogs glad to see you have defeated your techno-gremlins MG. Love the post on QRT, need to give that some serious brain-time. At my last appointment with my Gp, he told me that I "needed" to take a holiday, to which I had my predictable "No sh*t Sherlock" response.

So in the spirit of survivor not victim, this has got me thinking, how do you take a holiday when you have no money to leave your environment behind. This August will see us 3 years since our last holiday and we do feel this keenly. So we need to ditch the idea of a holiday as being the solution, I mean REALLY let it go and start to build up QRT.

Lordy MG, you don't half stretch people into uncomfortable positions, it'd be far easier to sit in the corner and complain that it's not fair that we can't go on holiday. Goes off in a sulk to do her ironing..
