    CK I was just thinking about your daily commute as I used to drive al4 to se14/22 regularly, sometimes early morning and it was a killer - so tiring. Do you go down the A12 or round and in the a13 (or even qe2?). Sometimes I go the a13 then on towards limehouse before doubling back to approach the tunnel from the w.

    Watching QT, the audience from Leeds seem surprisngly lucid this week, much more impressive than that bullsh1t spouting Cooper women :)

    I like cheese too but I just can't get this excited about it.

    Tonight Matthew, I had prawns cooked in a chilli sauce, rice with sweetcorn, carrot and green beans in it. Better than any cheese dish to me.

    I don't mind the odd cheese n jam sandwich though :A

    I eat more fish than anything else these days.

    I have to be in the mood for cheese, unfortunately because of the dairy content (which my tummy def does not like), I can't eat much of it.

    And for my tea tonight, I had sushi! For years my now ex hubby tried to get me to eat the stuff and I just couldn't and then middle son bought some, I tried a bit of it and now I can't get enough of it.
    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.

    Cheese cheese cheese. Christ, you would think cheese is a grey haired lothario the way you lot carry on.

    As an aside I very much enjoyed going to Staines on the 22.28 that left 30 mins late and converted into a fast train to Staines just after it left Waterloo with no warning. Just right for my temper right now.

    Bung in CM23 3BL (my Stortford business postcode, I live 2mins walk from there) to SE25 (Won’t give the end, as it’ll tell you what company I own) onto Google maps, and that’s the route I’ve always taken, as it’s where the SatNav sent me on the first few trips :)

    I hope you didn't have any trouble with the Staines Massive when you disembarked - they're very territorial I hear.

    I used to have lots of trouble on trains between Surrey and London. Once, visiting a pal on Guildford, we had to get a train to London, once we got on it at Guildford station, it morphed as it left becoming the York via Birmingham train to the fury of everyone who'd got on at that platform.

    Funnily enough when we got off the stationmaster was hard to find.

    And sadly by the time we got to London, it was closed (London was like that in those days). :mad:
