    Is it wrong to look at million pound houses when we have no money!

    Are you looking online or actually viewing in person? I look online all the time :rotfl:I like seeing how they are decorated and then stealing their design for our little house.

    On a serious note just had the news on in the back ground and they are on about a very bad computer virus heading our way, it has hit already but they think we have 2 weeks before it hits, again, make sure you are secure online and everything is backed up somewhere other than your computer! I'm off to buy an external hard drive. My laptop has a problem with switching on and it has everything on it, I can get it to go on quickly so i'm going to back up properly and then delete everything off it.

    This one company in the uk up north I think had 100k taken from their bank account!!!

    SD :wave: how are you?

    Hi FC, I'm doing ok, I hope you're all keeping well.
    I have to applaud you and people like you who take in kids who need the support :T. My DH was taken in by his aunt at 14 and I don't know where he would have been if that hadn't happened, I know for certain I would never have met him. This lad is with you for a reason. I love the way your DS2 is handling the situation and laughed at the 'I'm more autistic than you' I could just picture it in my head.

    What two words describe you ?

    http://bitecharge.com/play/twowords/h1

    I got
    Selflessly Caring

    You care deeply and selflessly. When you truly care for someone, you make them an important part of you. You stay with them through their sorrows and heal their pains. No one can even say they protect and care as much as you for someone whom you love. Your loved ones never forget you and they always keep you in their hearts!
    I got that too, although I can't see how they drew that conclusion from me being a rebellious kid who likes to drink tea :rotfl:

    Thanks SD :A We have sorted out a 'timetable' for schooling for the next few weeks. His school are going to fax/email me what I need. Have to say Im not a great advocate of home schooling but it's only for a few weeks.
    I get the impression that, like DS2, he enjoys routine although maybe not so rigidly? I don't think he's had much for a while though. So my timetable should work out just fine :D

    You're tempting me on the choc. mousses! My Ms have them at much higher price (nearly double the price) but these always keep 'glitching' (or maybe they don't, maybe they are 18p each in the price collectors' M stores?). No, I won't put them onto the M list as compares 1p cheaper at T:D:rotfl::wall::wall::wall: (those are aimed at myself: banging my head at my own approach - or, rather, me illustrating people banging their head at trying to get through to me, when this might be a good filler (vs M) yet I'd see you people buying 8 further items to use them against T and thus spending more money).
