Our DKs expect an internet device each so unless we splash out on getting them all tablets/laptops I can't see us having 3PCs in the kitchen/family room.

They have to learn to share.

Sigh...I am having an extremely unreasonable moment. I just booked a top secret hotel and its not the one I thought it was which leaves me slightly peeved. Otoh, its still a great location, and a very good value night and I should be pleased.

As I have said, I don't think it causes autism in children on its own, rather that in susceptible children, it could make the symptoms more visible or trigger something that was laying dormant.

The experts now predict that it would have shown itself soon enough anyway. Of course, short of you having had identical twins and only jabbing one, we can never know.

Interesting. There is a thread on here which claims to be able to work out which one any secret hotel is.

I usually work them out. It's easier in a smaller city (for me anyway) . Next time I will check out the thread though.

I did see the savoy on one website for £300 but it was above my budget even if a decent deal for a named hotel but quite fancied it.:o. Seen lots of places I would like to stay. We really dithered over a hotel I had not heard of before called Rough Luxe, but didn't go for it in the end. The one we have is a bit 'bland' for our taste, but we are guaranteed a bath and a decent power shower and its in a good location for what I need to to and travelling, I should be able to minimise taxi use even if feeling rough and easy enough for dh to get to work from.

To be fair though asking pricing are always higher than selling prices so you would expect that even if prices hadn't changed.

£30k''s a lot though....

I'd have found that exceedingly odd right from the start. Why on earth would any teacher want to spend all day with kids, then go home and hook up online. Well weird.

You see - if you'd lobbed that cash into the £60k whipround you'd now be feeling exceedingly pleased with yourself

But dh would have a lonely birthday...:) so he would be exceedingly cross with me. . I have something else I cannot avoid that day and have to be in Town. It's going to feel mighty, might odd.....it's been ages and ages. I'll be one of those people liking slightly lost and confused.

When I was about 18/19 and wanted to go to London I was told/scared off by my parents who told me "people wait at the stations looking for people who look lost.... you'd be kidnapped and taken away". And then there are the robberts/muggers - they look for them too.

So far (clutches wooden desk) I have not been mugged. I do attract the wackos though. Most of them are harmless and I probably am one too, so I try not to get to concerned about it. I did suffer an attempted kidnap but had already put on weight. Mi was less mobile and I decided my safest option was to sit down and be as awkward to move as possible while yelling (see not on probably am wacko too) but it worked.
