    I may have been closer to you than I thought. I got the train to and from Sudbury.

    Sudbury is a fair way and up a bit from us to be honest. To give you an idea, find Harwich on the map, then look across the river and you find where I was born.
    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.

    Dyas do a 7 ltr version of this one http://www.robertdyas.co.uk/P~149583~Nuo-Halogen-Oven for £21

    I've had my Halogen oven for over two years. In that time I've probably only used my other oven half a dozen times. In fact today I've cooked a full roast dinner in it.

    Cheers trev. My parents have been looking at these and that's a really good price. May make it an early Christmas present.

    Guys, I think I set an unreasonable task with a top 5 movies - should it have been a top 10? I've already hinted I could have done more and many others have said 10s unreasonable.


    Here's a question. Did anyone ever go to MOMI on th South Bank before they smashed it up? It disappeared like the cement footprint collection in Leicester Square

    I'm horrified by this but I have one golden memory. There was a continuous movie projected on a screen inside it called Precious Moments - it was like every familiar scene from every major movie you ever say with clips of only a few seconds, but all instantly recognisable.

    Anyone else remember it? ;)

    The other big exhibit they had was a Dr Who exhibit called "Behind the Sofa" but I want to focus on the clips movie. :D

    "Behind the Sofa"
    Back in the 60s this used to frighten the life out of me.... every time the horse appeared I hid behind the sofa.

    Went to the studios in the late 60s, saw it - it's only about 1' tall.

    I should probably mention (so will alter my original posting) that the bigger the bubble the more it's searched for on Google.
