  • Good morning all, lovely sunny day here :D

    Was out picking my breakfast raspberries and one or two of them felt like they were defrosting, checked lowest temperature on my thermometer and it had got down to 0.2C at 5 feet off the ground :eek:
    What is this life if, full of care, we have no time to stand and stare

    Morning all!

    Just thought I'd pop my head in to share something that may be old/uninteresting/short-term news. I can't search the thread from my device so apologies if I've missed a prior discussion (or many). Anyways, the multibuy is missing on Head & Shoulders in A on MyS, but is still working in store. I bought 3 bottles yesterday for £10 and got £6 back (rounded a few pence to nearest £).

    Certainly not the best price shampoo has ever been bought for, but useful for me as I keep missing 'poo glitches, specifically wanted H&S, and am nearly through the 2 bottles I got in the Big A Glitch (benefit of a household of really short hair - don't use much shampoo!).

    Always interesting thankyou. Hd shoulders so expensive at best of times x
  • Good morning :)

    I think it comes as being a parent of a sufferer ( I hate that word by the way, because I don't believe sufferers suffer :D ) and having seen the process through.
    Or maybe Im just a good parent who has worked hard to gain a good insight into the condition?

    Im very proud that I've did that. I only ever did it so I could understand my son. The fact that I can understand others with the same condition is a very nice bonus :)
    Fairclaire your son is very lucky to have you as a mum. Often I read your posts and wish you were my mum ( I mean if I was younger of course as we are similar age ) My mum has been horrible to me about this. She said that she hopes I don't get diagnosed with ASD. This would not change that I have all these ASD traits but they would be unexplained without a diagnosis and that's what she's wishing for me :huh: Also she's said that I mustn't tell anyone because she'll be ashamed :( I haven't spoken to her for a couple months now because I just feel she doesn't care about me at all :(

    I scored 42 in the quiz. I think it's important that those with ASD stand up and be counted because it's not something to be ashamed of. There are good things about it like it helps me to remember customers orders at work, which makes my job easier but my lack of social skills is crippling for me, so overall I'd prefer not to have this. I worry so much about social events and house guests that it spoils the rest of my life so I'd love to be able to stop being like this.

    Alright, enough about the failings of allistic people (that is likely to be you, as 99% of people are allistic:rotfl:). I'm off to bed!:):wave::wave:

    Hope I haven't offended anyone. Really it is not the allistic person's fault - how are they to pick up no-signals from the autistic person standing at the SS machine? And really. And they can't help that their sensory processes filter out the machine whining away, so that they (it appears to me, I may be wrong as can only see it from the perceptions of an autistic person) don't even notice it doing so!:(:(:(:rotfl::rotfl:

    (...Perhaps they ought to fit like a mobile phone in their pocket, but something that gives them an electric shock if the machine is crying out!:mad::mad::eek::eek: Then they might notice!:D:rotfl::rotfl: Savvy with his mad scientist-type things again:rotfl::eek:. The situation I've described doesn't always happen. But it is a not-infrequent occurrence:rotfl:.)

    No, I am being a bit over-sadistic. That's a little unkind on the staff, I don't really mean that!

    (I'd be interested, though, to hear if anyone not on the autism spectrum has quite often had similar experiences. For example, have you been up to a CS desk, only for the person behind it to fail to notice, for a significant amount of time, that you are there, wanting their assistance?

    And, if you want me to define what classes as a "significant" amount of time, then you are probably Aspergic:rotfl:.

    I'd be interested to hear and, as necessary, revise my own views should they be currently incorrect, to ensure that, as ever, they are kept in line with correctness once more:rotfl::rotfl:.)

    Bye for now people!:A:wave:

    Thats my pet hate in supermarkets . Staff continuing conversation whilst things requiring their attention.
    I have no problems with staff chatting but they are there all day Im sure the convo can wait Love :cool:

    Good morning everybody!


    TM this is my old avatear, and I miss it. Plus when I was posting on other threads where they didn't know me so well, posters were assuming I was a girl, possibly from space. :eek:

    Now everybody knows I'm just somebody who's ripped their avatar from the name of a Thom Yorke song.

    Of course I remember it Zag:)

    Anyway I'm a girl from space and what's wrong with that:)

    Bye for now people!:A:wave:
    I once stood at the Tesco Direct desk for what seemed like 10 minutes until precisely 8.00 pm when someone then came across from the CS desk alongside to tell me that they closed at 8.00 pm and I would have to come back the next day to collect my order. I did put in a complaint about that!

    Yep a selection of sugar lumps, light and soft muscovado and golden granulated, it was all 50p in my As, can't even remember when. :o

    I am really bad Bananababe, I thought I bought enough shelving for Mr TS to have the ones out the bathroom for his workshop but I am having to put them in the garage too. :o:o


    Well at least its organised xxx

    I watched this Reece Shearsmith was brilliant in it :T:T.

    I hadn't realised he had Aspergers thanks for letting me know now I know why he was acting like he was brilliant though :D

    I really enjoyed chasing Shadows. I thought Sean was a likeable character who was brilliant at his job. I discussed this with OH who disagreed with me that he's a likeable character and thought he was annoying and ignorant, like me he said. I didn't think he was annoying but maybe that's because I understand why he acted as he did. He was doing an important job and put his heart and soul into it, I can understand that. Social skills were not so important as the job he was doing IMO.
