    Yes, all good here thanks Bubbs. I have some news though. I have a new addition to my household. Our nearly 15 year old godson who has arrived today to stay with us.

    I won't go into all the ins and outs, I'll just say that he wasn't receiving the care and support at home that he ought to have been :(. Hes very recently been diagnosed with Aspergers.
    I know people will think Im bonkers taking on another kid with all Ive had going on :o But, it's not a decision I took lightly or without the views of everyone else who lives here. Quite honestly, the alternative to him coming here was unthinkable :(

    As kids go, he's pleasant, polite and well behaved......but quite withdrawn. He gets on well enough with my kids and they are happy for him to be here. I have enough room here for him to have his own space, which is important to him. And one more mouth to feed won't bankrupt us.

    The most heartbreaking thing is that my friend (I'm using that term loosely :() his mother offered no resistance to the idea of him living here :(:(. I have no idea how it's going to pan out or for how long it will be. I would like to hope that at some point one of his parents will give themselves a shake and be in a position to look after him the way he deserves.

    Other than that nuffin going on here :eek: :rotfl::rotfl:

    FC- you truly are one hell of an amazing woman. X

    All I can say is that I truly admire you FC. You are doing what needs to be done and keeping the kid in a place where his parents still have half a chance of getting him back, if you had not taken this decision then he would have been in a far worse place.

    It is not unreasonable to nominate you for sainthood :A

    I still can't resist a whoopsied pint though, full fat on my cereal. :o Thinking about it that's probably why I still have loads of cereal left from various glitches, I always wait for whoopised milk. :eek:

    I noticed today that a Click and Collect terminal has appeared in the normal A store (bigger than ex-Netto, not a superstore) this week. Apparently can now collect groceries from there too :). Downside is that deliveries and c and c round here come from a distribution centre (ghost store behind another big store). Are they likely to have the glitches that some of you have managed when the price online has been higher than instore?

    That said, £1 for delivery is good value if you can max the return (or ... For a "normal" shop :o).

    Many thanks
