    Well that would be me then!

    Sorry i ticked the box for "no publicity" so you're not getting a pic. I can however assure you that it is not the outside that matters - my arteries are F*cked but they are nicely hidden, only the cardiac surgeon's embroidery visible on arm,leg and chest.


    You know, I'd rather die from eating butter than from eating the m word (which I can't even say it upsets me so).

    What a day :(

    Glad some nice people have had good ones. I spend all year complaining about (well actually enjoying) only working 2 days a week and now given the chance to do more all I can think is what a pain it is and how much other stuff I have to do which I can no longer see how I will find time for...
    I think....

    She may be 51 now, but how old was Nigella when that photo was taken, and has she been air-brushed?
    No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?

    Margarine?
    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.

    If the pictures contribute to debunking McKeith's ghastly pseudoscience, then I'm in favour.

    Can I steer NPs to a connection from Ben Goldacre's website for a free downloadable book (as a pdf) about evidence-based medicine

    We didn't have butter when I was growing up, everything was marg. I rarely buy butter, if you're used to one thing then anything different isn't always likeable.

    Butter was too expensive, especially after the shortages in the 70s - so everything was cooked in Stork margarine; we even cooked our chips in it. Big blocks of Stork in the fridge for sandwiches, chips, for anything and everything.
