    Single, no brand stainless steel sink with a drainer.....I've been here 16 years, goodness knows when it was put in and still going strong with no leaks or dents.

    James has officially switched degrees now, so starting as a first year once more in September. We are picking him up on Tuesday which is going to be a mad dash as we have to try to fit it in with the school run! Blooming hope he is organised and is ready and waiting to go when we get there with the things that need to go into storage already moved, the stuff coming home all packed up and the room nice and clean.

    Josh is planning to play piano at the summer concert, not many at school know about his piano playing, so it will come as a shock to quite a few!

    Finally, last exam for youngest tomorrow. He has coped quite well with the exams, to be honest, he has coped a hell of a lot better than all of us expected although he has been quite tetchy for the last week.

    Ooohhh finally, finally, think I would have heart failure if I had to pay near £70 to have my hair done, I've not been to the hairdressers for about 3 years now and even then, it's the cheapest they do, so less than £20.

    I've also managed to completely begger myself, overdone things by a massive amount over the last week after neighbour started on me last week, it got me all OCD and I have been having a mass spring clean/chuck out old toys/wash down walls ever since.
    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.

    I like a lot of posh alert things, what I end up with is another matter :) No utility room, so I think a good sized sink in the kitchen would be handy (esp if there were 2 sections).

    A real posh alert is when you not only have a utility room - and it's large - but you also start referring to it as the Boot Room :)

    Well the side effects are really kicking in now. I was puking like a sailor who'd just got his rum ration this morning.

    Ugh. I hate this.

    Over here the lack of a utility room (laundry) is a sign of deprivation. It's analogous to not having a winter coat in the UK.

    I have an off white granite composite Carron Phoenix 1.5 bowl. Wanted a white bowl and this fit the bill.
    Still striving to be mortgage free before I get to a point I can't enjoy it.

    Do posh sinks have labels on .... or do posh people "just know" when they see one?

    I've never looked at sinks... it's a sink, best avoided as it's where washing up gathers.....

    Seriously pricey taps to go with pricey sink. And yes, they come branded.

    Not good at all :( Is this a common side effect? Is there medication that can help?

    The ideal prescription would be a couple of weeks off work watching football and tennis....

    Edit: I know we have helped out NP in the past who are going through tough times. Would it be possible for us to give you a day off work?
    I think....

    This was expected, wasn't it?:( Do they give you anything to help with the side-effects and the upchucking?
