    Not too bad, better than when I tried it last night anyway.
    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.

    Tempted? :D

    No. It's all about the competition. Have to be played within Facebook. We have noticed that anyone playing on an ipad gets a much higher score than anyone else, so no longer a level playing field.

    I think my Speedtest results are pretty dire!

    I guess it's the result of living in a rural place, but being worse than 96% of the population makes me feel a failure somehow! :o

    Your air pollution figure is probably better than 96% of the population!

    Ah yes, there are some up-sides to living here....like going to hospital by helicopter, and only seeing the police when they're lost. :rotfl:

    I am regretting not spending the extra 500 quid (aside from the fact we couldn't afford it) and having some AC put in when we were having the extension. It would be the ideal application to accompany solar panels.
    You can get portable units for less than that. You'd only need the one.

    I would go for this deal if I were you for phone/internet.
    Trouble is, I now don't have a phone as the one I MIGHT have got you all rubbished. I have to get a phone and 'stuff' all at the same time.

    Phones etc are SO confusing.

    In the Sam Knows stuff I have the choice of BT only...or Talk Talk

    Oh and for this service and landline and calls I currently pay BT £51 per month, (calls to mobile being extra).

    Really glad this is market is deregulated/open or I might have limited choice and end up with an expensive carp provider. Mmmm.


    Are you sure that is per month?


    You should have a look as that sounds way too much. You can get free anytime calls (excluding mobiles) from £15.65.
    To get it that low you have to pay the years line rental up front which is worth the saving.

    http://www.productsandservices.bt.com


    The best options for broadband on a BT line is O2 or Plusnet

    http://www.o2.co.uk/broadband

    http://www.plus.net/broadband/


    Plusnet starts at £6.49 per month for a 10GB package which is fine for a lowish user.

    Without any special deals you shouldn't be paying any more than £22.14 for everything (excluding mobile calls and premium rate numbers)

    I know micheals will have a far cheaper solution even if it may be a bit more complicated.

    My personal experience is that the mail can drop a story like that or swap people used if they decide to. No notice, no contact. It might be shelved for a bit to come out tomorrow/ a few days.....
    Or they might sell it to Chat magazine and michaels will become "housewives choice"

    :)

    Won't be safe in Mr T ever again...
