    Ignore him TS. I told him right after you told me ;)......he's naughty! :eek:

    Oh I have just had a conversation with my new house guest. It would seem that he hasn't had much in the way of boundaries for quite some time :o and was rather shocked to learn that bedtime is 9.30pm for children in the FC household on a school night. He was even more shocked to learn that FC does a gadget sweep at an unannounced time sometime after that :D:rotfl::rotfl:

    .......and I thought DS2 could argue the toss? :eek: I still won though :D He's agreed to go to bed at the same time as everyone else and promised he won't stay up gadgetting all night, and is aware of the penalties if he does. Could be fun.......:cool:

    Looks like fun is heaing your way:D he will soon learn to live by your rules;)

    You haven't seen Derek? :eek: oh TM you must watch it. Ricky Gervais is pure genius as this character. I know he's a bit marmitey......I love him :D he's so good in this. You'll either cringe like mad......or you'll get it. I reckon the latter in your case

    Did I change ends of the country without realising. :eek:

    No I do watch it and enjoy it, I thought I had made the connection just was not sure. I am slow sometimes. ;)

    I do like Ricky Gervais while he is in character but struggle with him as himself, on tv. :o

    What about a putting together a CD of her favourite songs? Or general happy/cheer-me-up songs?
    A copy of a favourite book she's always wanted to read? Or one that reflects her current situation but with a positive outcome?
    A poem, about e.g. staying positive/looking on the bright side/friendship, that you can write out?
    A photo of the two of you together, with a message from you on the bottom or on the back?

    Thanks Jelly. I've been little miss questions today. You guys are always the first place I go to now, after my parents :o

    The elite will know! (I mutter to myself)

    I think I'm going to get her a card or postcard and write her a message. Plus a book and some chocolates.

    :D I heard DS2 talking to him earlier. I didn't catch the whole conversation but the end of it was.........'Anyway I am more autistic than you' :D:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    I have always taught DS2 that being autistic isn't something to be ashamed of and, on the contrary, there's a lot to be proud of about it. He obviously doesn't want anyone stealing his thunder :rotfl::rotfl:
