With the amount of kids being offered for free at the moment on this thread I'm sure that can be changed

My teenage daughter is not for free - I want something for her:D
The amount of time, energy and money that has gone into her is unreal - I am afraid I need some money to recoup my loss:rotfl::rotfl:never stop doing your best because someone doesn't give you credit0 -
So you want ds3:D:D:D
Well my carpet's not getting any cleaner
I'll trade DS2 but he comes complete with a permanent marker pen that he used to draw all over everything yesterday
Historic Debt August 2009 = £63,600 10th March 2017 = £0 100% paid all gone!
Mortgage started June 2015 = £170,000 January 2022 = £134,000
Saving for Xmas 2022= . . Amazon £55

Neighbours elderly cat who eats all our cats' food :whistle:
Likes to spend his time sat on our doorstep & sneaking in to eat the food when you aren't looking
He is called Spice & is 15 yrs old. Has a very good life with his own family & returns to them when he's cleaned all the dishes here
He is quite doddery now, & to get here involves scaling 2 brick walls, we've had to fix a plank up to the wall on this side for him ♥

Well I'm having an odd weekend. son came back on Friday night to collect more stuff and organise other bits for collection on Tuesday - think its finally sunk in with him that its for real and he has actually left home - last week he kept saying he didn't have much stuff but so far 2 car loads and another this week :eek:
Today oh was working - does not do Sundays usually - so rather than trying to clear the ghastly mess left behind yet again by youngest son yesterday, nothing worse than having to redoe jobs you have already done :mad:
So I decided to tackle my shoe collection, dragged it all out of both wardrobes, cleaned, lined it up in colour and style order, photographed everything that would eventually some day go on ebay.
Put it all back - coloured sandals on one wardrobe and in the other courts and black sandals. Also made a pile to take for shoe recycling
Took 3 hours

At the risk of being significantly misunderstood, I'm a little puzzled as to the need or desire to "glimpse into the world" of someone, me, simply because they are autistic (although I know you're not really doing this, you're just curious (this is why I prefaced with the 'possibility of misunderstood' warning - need to hear me out and not take the initial point alone), but I'm stepping back and looking at it, from a distance ("objectively")).
I say that (the bold above) simply because - in addition to the view from an objective standpoint - I too have also, since knowing I had Asperger's, been someimes watching others, in RL, i.e. 'everyone else' (nearly anyway) - those who don't have Asperger's - and looking (dispassionately and without judgement!(:rotfl:)) at how they behave - and I've found you all wanting!!:D You normal ("neuro-typical") people are so sporadic, haphazard and constantly get things wrong and miss things out - such as those neuro-typicals collecting the price data for the APG one suspects...;):rotfl::)
(Onto an aside now: )
Whether I wanted to or did not, I've certainly been pushed into looking at these things - how most people and how Asperger's people approach things, and the benefits and deficits of both groups, by view of the fact that I have Asperger syndrome. I didn't, of course, choose to have that but, on balance, having considered - in great depth no doubt!;) - how that means I am able to work better in some areas than almost everyone else and how 'everyone else' is able to work better than me in some other areas, weighing it up all and reaching a rational decision based on all the available evidence (and of course subject to any other evidence that may arise to contradict my current view):rotfl::rotfl:- I think I prefer the Asperger's way of doing things - because overall it is just largely better - it seems to me - although I guess I could never imagine how it would be to be 'normal' and think a different way.
Okay, enough expressed insight but social ineptitude from me, onto a trip out now to see if any wombles in sight in the good weather!!:):) (Smiling at the fact it is sunny for once - and not too hot that people seem to be holding onto their receipts - yesterday seemed sunny but mild enough for them to leave them for me:D, although trolley lad ended up with one before me:rotfl::D.)
Hi savvy,
No nothing untoward intended:)
I am naturally curious and a great people watcher( you could say nosey) I love diversity and what makes people tick. I am curious about the very wealthy, people who keep llamas, different religions and cultures, you name it. Hope you get my drift. it wasn't personal at all:)To do is to be. Rousseau

gorgeous - if he cleans up the plates left over by your cats, even better, no waste and nothing to attract flies. My gang quite like bring fed outside on the lawn but I end up with cheeky magpies trying to help themselves“Create all the happiness you are able to create; remove all the misery you are able to remove.
