    I find washing up quite satisfying. I like turning a heap of dirty plates etc into a neatly stacked arrangement of sparklyness :)

    Would you like to swap for some typing instead?
    :)

    I would take typing over washing up any day!
    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.

    £330,000 for a 2 bed flat round my way.... I don't think this is going to go well. Bet they end up 7 miles from a train station.

    How do a man who doesnt have a job and dances around a bit and a lecturer have a budget of £450k?!
    Could be an inheritance and some Bank of Mum and Dad. . . and his bird might work.

    I like the physical act of typing. The bit I struggle with is coming up with anything vaguely intelligent to write....

    Hmmmm.....

    You know old fashioned projectors like teachers and lecturers used? Can you still get theM? I wonder how much one could get them for? And acetates? I'm looking at stencils to paint trees on my hall way walls and they are expensive and not very nice. I'm not artistic enough to paint free hand, but I could trace over a projection......then paint.......
    Big torch propped up ....

    Yeah, that would work too, wouldn't it, what about distortion. Hmmm, distortion could look quite cool actually.

    Hmmmm.

    Keep it a secret and do it when he's out ..... when he returns, go and greet him all happy and excited.... he'd NEVER be able to tell you he hates it as he's seen how happy it made you.
