    I talk to people via MSN and a headset......doesn't cost a penny apart from broadband access.
    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.

    Proxy websites may be your answer. I think you just google for a proxy website, go onto it and go onto skype from there. All it does is get round a block put on websites by name. DS used to get onto facebook at school this way.

    Hiya :wave: Missed a lot, been reading a bit. The laptop went screwy and I couldn't be bothered to clean it up for ages so I went off and did some stuff instead. I'ts getting cold though, so I don't like doing stuff so much any more.

    Glad to see everyone doing their stuff too. Has fc been around? I like her new dresses :). Is NDG moved into her loft yet? I saw Generali left and now he's back again!

    Lemonjelly is a daytime local of mine, I didn't know :) We finally move house on Tuesday from a bit NW of your work to bit further SW of your work. Your work is named the "Golden Cheese" in our household :).

    Pretty much....I tried Skype once and really didn't like it but have found few problems with starting an msn conversation (as in written conversation) and then attaching my headset to the laptop and pressing the button to talk. Been doing that for about 4 years now to the person who keeps me sane.

    Thanks for the offer but a quick look on ebay suggests you should get at least £100 for them which could go in to your christmas pot.

    LIR can you not both sign in on google talk and talk for free?

    Oh Michaels, I could never sell them on, I received them for nothing and I couldn't in good conscience, make money from them, it just makes me feel very uncomfortable.

    Plus the fact there is not a great deal of time to have an auction and get the tickets sent out.

    I've used viagogo to sell on tickets before now. A lot easier than Ebay as its designed for ticket sales.

    As for the morality of selling on tickets you got for free, it all depends, but is there anything wrong with letting someone who is prepared to pay have the opportunity to buy? You are not forcing anyone to do something they don't want to do.
