make do and mend for tougher times

Fuddle is it worth a call to your supplier? Presumably you had an agreed timetable for replayments of the arrears so it isn't fair to keep upping them.

Work driving me crazy.

Just a quickie...Mr T has Everyday Value Mushy Peas on at 4p a tin if anyone's interested...

Hi folks, been missing in action because I am depressed again, been to doctor etc and waiting for meds to kick in. Have missed a lot on here, no chance of catching up.

Found this, might be interesting for those of you with autistic children and I'm going to try probiotics to see if it helps me, although my diet is pretty good already. http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2012/08/30/antipsychotic-drugs-in-children.aspx?e_cid=20120830_DNL_artNew_1

Kittie - lots of organic chocolate for sale at approvedfood today - Green and Blacks.

Probably won't be posting much for a while. Love to you all xxx.

smileyt: We are all with you in thoughts. Depression is such a lonely thing to get through and apart from meds I don't know of anything that helps. We will all be here, grumbling, moaning and trying to be brave when you are able to join us again. Lots of love x

Rushes off to approvedfood.

Smiley so sorry to hear things are a bit down for you atm,hope you start to feel better soon XX
many thanks for that link I use Bvits,eyeq and melatonin for my son as well as a highly tweaked diet..was prescribed Risperidol when he was 8 and had his breakdown but fortunately never had to use it.
I do worry about all these drugs (his said not for use under 12 yrs) :eek: being prescribed for autistic kids and the links to other illnesses..

fuddle

Yip, we're good proppers up 'ere. Sorry the D has reared it's awful head smiley. The worst thing about depression is it ruins a good cuppa tea moment :mad: Hope you don't think me flippant, I have carte blanche I reckon as I battle with the rotter too.

Hope you can read if not post, but we'll miss ya

On a different note - people fall out all the time. People have disagreements all the time. Why should one person get to post where she wants and another bloke feels like he shouldn't post here because of a bit of a shakey past. If said bloke would like to post on here again then why not eh? There was a suggestion a short time ago about keeping benefits talk out of the thread and maybe, as that's where there's always friction, it would be a good idea?

Just handing out an olive branch here. I've been played in a lot of this and both me and said bloke have taken a bit of a beating because of it. Howey back man, just divvint be worrying aboot it all the teem arl reet. One day ata teem lad eh. Nee if's or but's just surviving in the noo? Helping each other oot when the sheet hits the fan?! Waddaya say man? Champion

Apologies, accent hidden from the world - no more fishwife I promise!

Afternoon all have just paid Mr.T a quick visit and they are selling 3kg bags of Fusilli and Penne Pasta for £2.00p today which seems like a bargain to me. They have salmon steaks on offer at £1.25p on the fresh fish counter too. The other thing that struck me as a bargain was Mr.T own brand tubs of Instant Drinking Chocolate for 48p. I wish I'd been able to carry more that I could.

SMILEY - Stay with us at least by reading once in a while, we should be able to cheer you just a bit, cos we're all a little individually wacky in our own way. Join in when you feel you can and know you're always thought of and wished well Cheers Lyn x.

Thanks Mrs LW, those prices do look good. I'm sure I have a save and spend voucher somewhere for Mr T.
Smiley - hope you're OK and the meds start to work quickly.
Fuddle - well put.
Hope Miss VJ is OK, horrible being miserable. (Obviously!)

I have sorted out one set of kids' clothes but have DD's Wardrobe of Doom to go. She was given a huge bag of clothes by a friend yesterday which is brilliant, don't need to buy her anything for winter I don't think.
