    It's not a straightforward click a button, you need to verify your vote from the email they send after you vote. Only takes a minute though :)

    where do you buy protein shake? Both my boys are on it as they try to muscle up (both very skinny at the moment). I find it very expensive and spend ages searching out deals.

    Always have a look at Sainsbees, they tend to have them on clearance a lot at my local, normally about 75% off. Holland and Barrett also do some good deals, they do inflate their prices when they have promotions on, but they can be cheaper than paying the full price.

    I can't do protein shakes, they give me the !!!!!$. Get them to eat more chicken/tuna/things with a lot of protein in them if the protein shakes are too expensive.

    Are your kids working out whilst taking the shakes? If not, they may end up with man breasties! :(:(:(

    Sorry if I missed part of the conversation but saw the chat about the Stabilo pens. When I were a nipper I had these grips that I used on pens & pencils. I was developing a nasty bump on the top of my middle finger from holding writing implements wrong but using these worked wonders.

    Might be an alternative to expensive pens & pencils.

    I did 3 orders, all different names and emails, same address and I have that first email you posted for them all them all.

    How are you anyway Scamps. Are you on the mend now?

    I've checked all my email addys, and I now have 4 saying the same as the first, but then I didn't get the blank order form so I think that's the 'technical' issues they're talking about. Just go to your orders to see what they say. :)

    As for my health! Seeing surgeon tomorrow as regards to foot, still can't bend my toes. And seeing plastic surgeon on friday for my head. still looks very angry. :(

    Voted, and can I just add your stories about DS2 and Savvy's insights into forms of aspergers/autism are really really helpful. I come into contact with someone in the spectrum, and I now understand so much better how he interacts with other people. Thank you so much and hope your OH get on well with his new venture.:T

    Also voted for QOC!:T

    Good luck to all!:T
