    Ok, I'm still on tree decorations.....stars or angels on top?


    I think angels are 'nicer' but stars are more aesthetic. Here we have a star....tis the perfect compromise between his ancestors and mine ;)

    The last time I put a tree up (about 3 or 4 years ago in response to comments on MSE about how I was depriving the children), I put a festive Piggin' teddy on top...looked pretty darn good too!

    *Piggin' is a brand name of ceramic pigs but they also went into mini pig soft toys, magnets, candles etc too.
    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.

    Oh well, if you insist..... middle-aged spinsters wear size 10 black thongs from Matalan multi-packs :)

    Black or white M&S bra (normal type, boobs are too big for balconette!) and skin coloured Sloggi's.

    I prefer higher waists and higher up the legs, and not the short-types. They don't fit me properly. Can't stand thongs, either, they seem like dental floss for your backside, to my mind.

    Have to admit DW and I agree with you 100% there - why would anyone want a string touchign their a**e hole all day?

    BTW I think I win on the my parents house/dining room/kichen/dining table is bigger/older than yours although I suspect yours wins by far on value.
    I think....

    My parent's have a dining table which seats 8 easily at Christmas when the extension bits are put in...the rest of the time it acts as the computer table for youngest when he is down there.

    I have absolutely no idea of the value of the table, it might not be that much.

    Size of house, you almost certainly win. Age must go to my parents' house, though - 1320s.

    Edit...plus, right bra helps them look.....proportionate!

    Ok, yesterday night I ate what I was told to, and have done so again today. Really, really ill. I was going to give it a week before feeling I'd given it a fair crack of the whip ....not sure I'll make it now. :(


    I don't see those inside people again till February .....

    I guess I just stick with it till I cannot stand to then say I tried, failed, then stopped.

    You are feeling grim too, huh? :o


    I've left the cheese room and lighting woodburner early. I need serious warmth I think.

    These phones almost all charge through the USB cable. So, just connect it up to your laptop to charge. Or you can get a little wall charger the USB cable plugs into.
    Cheers, I had no idea that's how they worked! USB indeed..... who'd have thought it!
