    I'm sure, had it been me, that my clear, incisive logic would have enraptured you.

    Flattery will get you everywhere.

    I've been Money Tipped!
    Had to go to gp this morning to confirm I was not about to top myself. They confirmed to me my self diagnises of rosacea and rather embarrassingly occurring reynaud's are both correct and thati also need a colonoscopy. Is no part of me to be left sacred?

    The only operation I have had was an apendectomy when I was 14 or 15. About 5 days later it snowed so I went sledging and didn't feel too well afterwards...
    I think....

    Just a tad but what do I know...I was driving the car 10 days after a hysterectomy (I did check with my insurance company first!) oh and hoovering/tidying the house 5 days post operatively!
    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.

    Just watching Britain's Secret Homes (ITV+1) and the penultimate property they showed was Cardiff Castle..- and one of the last shots in the piece was the monkey wallpaper, just like LIR posted a few posts back :)

    3rd Marquis of Bute's castle he built, I think they said he died in 1910 though, having never slept there. Had it on, wasn't watching at the time... spotted the monkey and it was over.

    I always wanted to be rich and live here, it is greeeeeeaaaaaat :)
