I have no idea what to get for DS. He wants something which is not in budget so I think we'll give him some money, but I'm not really happy about the item that he wants to buy - a petrol motored remote control car. Doozer thinks he should be allowed to buy it when he has the money, but it seems such a waste of money. I don't even know where he's going to use it! I'd prefer to give him a gift instead but is it a mum's place to decide? .
Totally Mum's place to decide. It sounds a very expensive waste of money, to me, the car thing.Perhaps you should think about moving to Feltham - I hear property is very reasonable there and so convenient for the airport....
There's a good reason property is cheaper there than in most of London - but I don't think it's necessarily good value......PasturesNew wrote: »Can't do that - her long curtains wouldn't fit
The girl's right. I'm never abandoning my curtains!I can't believe Nice People are contemplating ways of killing me just because I don't like soggy bottoms! You wouldn't expect pastry at the bottom of a fish pie or shepherds pie! A pie is a pie! All that soggy pastry means less space for filling.
I'd put mash on top of both - don't quite see the savoury-pastry-pie thing, myself....much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.0 -

Bah Humbug.
I'm not feeling remotely in the festive spirit yet. Which is weird.
Usually love Xmas, but can't seem to get in the mood this year.
As for pies, it's not a pie without a soggy bottom. “The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie – deliberate, contrived, and dishonest – but the myth, persistent, persuasive, and unrealistic.
Belief in myths allows the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought.”

I'm with Spirit on this one, but surely the best death would be with a 'proper' pie :eek:
In Georgia (and much of the former USSR), the definition of a pie is with pastry all round. Nothing personal, but it's a bake otherwise.
With fish pie, the way I know it is either with potato (UK), or with pastry outer and a topping, but smaller overall so it can be eaten with hands (Georgia). It's literally known as either Fish and Potato bake (tevzi kartopilis), or Fish pie (tevzis torti)in Khalvashi household :cool:💙💛 💔0 -
I thought a 'bake' meant cook with pasta, unless it's a cake...Still striving to be mortgage free before I get to a point I can't enjoy it.

I started off counting the boys as dependents, but then I read it properly and, as they are over 18, they should be classed as adults, then I thought that DS1 shouldn't be in our figures at all.
But DS2 is at uni, so over 18 but dependent.
I didn't count James into the figures either.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.0
