There are rules about which way the car faces?
If so, why? What is achieved?

I am very impressed by industrial quantities of cake mix (how big was the tin?) and Sue's decorating.
Must admit I liked the small boy 'helping' best of all.

Icing flat AND without marks.....although they can be cleverly hidden by additional flowers/ribbon etc. I have been known to take a rolling pin to a cake to get the required flatness.
I must fess up though, those wedding cakes were bought with plain icing, I just added extra decoration and touches. Sorry if I deceived you all, it wasn't my intention, it was more to show off that I can occasionally colour match and make things look nice.
I do usually make and ice my own cakes though, just at that time, time was of the essence as they got married on Christmas Eve with the grand total of 3 weeks notice!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.

My birthday today and the house is in isolation....the two younger ones started throwing up last night and James started throwing up this morning.
Oh joy....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.

Our dog woke me at 6am as he wanted to go outside.
I wandered out to my shed to admire my seedlings and listen to the birds. Witnessed the dog doing his necessaries and it was like no other dog poo I have ever seen.
My curiosity got the better of me and when OH got up I sent him out to investigate.:)
He tells me it is foam, and that as the dog has not perfected manufacturing petrochemical products, he thinks the dog has eaten "something".
Now to establish what? I feel Zag, LIR or Nikkster are needed on the team for this job. Not my field at all.0 -
I have spent way too much time collecting poop samples.
First, how is your dog other wise? That's currently most important thing. I'd also consider lighter meal.....0 -
Dog appears fine.
Has eaten his breakfast and been for a walk, Mr S has not reported further problems.
collecting poop samples.
Hence I thought of your expertise.0 -

And what a team to be volunteered onto!
I've never had a dog. I looked after the dog of one of the families I used to babysit for once, for a week, but that was over 15 years ago now...0 -
