Heads Up - usual casino caveats.
Just noticed TCB premium £63 cashback for £10 deposit, £30 wager on Gala Casino new customer account. Only until midnight tonight.
Usual casino risks but even in the unlikely event of depositing £30 and losing it all to hit the wager requirements, you would still (cashback tracking permitting) be £33 up. Suggest not ticking the second tick box at the bottom of the sign up (accepting promotions etc) and when you deposit don't accept the deposit bonus.

Gala offer has returned - may be better to deposit £30 as the advert elsewhere on the site says deposit and wager £30 for £63, yet on the Gala main product page it says deposit £10, wager £30.
Not encouraging gambling, but this is a good deal for anyone confident doing these offers.

Thing is I don't get bored, I always have some 'special interest' or other on the go that prevents my boredom - I think if I were like most people, living here, if I was on my own, I would be terribly lonely and unable to cope - nothing to do - but, with my Asperger's (that chestnut:D:rotfl:), I'm always having something to do, on the Internet, looking things up, reading, very interesting things (to me). Never get bored by it. Self-sufficient:D.
For people who want to know what I am like 'in the flesh' - I think I'm a bit like this guy, on the video here:
http://www.autismdailynewscast.com/teen-with-aspergers-excels-academically/16424/snapshot/
Except that he's about 20 years younger than me, he was diagnosed soon after the age of 3, I was diagnosed, in my 30s:rotfl:, I don't do the flapping around thing. But, it's the way he walks. The way 'they' walk:). Says he talks slowly - sometimes, yes, it is difficult, thinking before you say. (Sometimes I do the total opposite, talk too fast - just trying to get every detailed point out, especially if it's some presentation with a time limit.) The way his eyes blink/close a little (at about 2 minutes in). There's definitely traits like me - even though he may be a little bit more than me. Certainly, screwing eyes up, occasionally (not perhaps as much as that), it's involuntary and not something I consciously think about when I am doing - perhaps a bit aversion to eye contact (then, again, I can make very good eye contact with people well-known to me, or face-to-face, one to one situation, at a table). I tend to squint a bit if I have a very educated point that I am making, where I am completely right, perhaps a bit of self-consciousness I don't know. Not all the time - I can appear/often pass for completely normal (at least I think I can - I've no idea how others are perceiving me and if I am coming across as completely normal or not - I don't think about it - I just act the way I am. I think one person I asked (correction - I know one person I asked) about whether I was "strange", told me "a little bit, not very much, but just a little, occasionally." That is me - a little bit eccentric (I can't help it, but actually, with me, it is of choice, in that, whilst I cannot choose to be anything other than what I am (a little bit eccentric, just a little, nothing wrong with that), if I did have a choice, then I would choose to be a like this - I want to be a little eccentric - nothing wrong with that, would never want to be just the same as everyone else all the time, I like occasionally to be a bit mischievous:eek::rotfl:, but within social acceptable limits and nothing too wrong).)
But, other than the hand flapping bits (they come with some people more from stress/depression than Asperger's), I am a bit like him. Very bright la..., well I'm not really a "lad" anymore, but let's pretend!:D
Hope this provides an insight, especially for anyone who might not know what meeting a person with Asperger's autism is like and perhaps they don't talk at all, except through a computer. Not the case, necessarily!
So, there you are... meet Savvy! (Sort of.) A bit like David. Seems a very nice, likable guy to me. Nothing wrong with him.
Goodnight again:rotfl::wave::D0 -
Be glad if you didn't get the coke. It didn't work, the multi shows on the APG. Sorry to be late in reporting but I went out, surprised nobody else has reported a failure, perhaps you were all wise and stayed in!0

Is there an Elite recommended browser for printing Dr O vouchers (including the back repeat trick) please?
Many thanks
Anon
don't think the back trick works here, valassis coupons print only one unique id per email (as opposite to couponmicrosite...)0 -
Typical - me posting about other things, and everyone else posting about money-saving:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:. (I know we've seen the opposite before - everyone chatting (nothing wrong with that:)) and me just seemingly doggedly going on with money-saving. Seeming totally oblivious, though I assure you I am not!:D Well, I'm not oblivious to everything going on around me. Just only catch in with the ends of conversations on here sometimes:rotfl::rotfl:.)
Right, folks, I'll see you again some time!
Thanks Shirley for telling us on the Cokes. No, I just ate my tea, went and tried to find some wombles, wasn't really too bothered with the Cokes, but thanks for trying and sorry that it didn't work.
See - I do acknowledge what's going on around me. Sometimes:rotfl::D:D.
EDIT: Correction - in fact that last thing probably suggests something worse than what I am. Anyway...goodnight again now!

Just got my first Radio Times of the trial. (Well, not literally "just" - it did pop through the door earlier, now yesterday.) Thanks to the OP who told us about this a little while ago on here. My type of minus £4.05-type of trial. Right at the start, reading about the new series of The Apprentice and how it's "...introduced a generation to the ... idea that entrepreneurship isn't all about spreadsheets, grey offices and boring numbers."
Oh what a shame:(:(:(:D:rotfl:. I would really have taken to it and would have loved it if entrepreneurship was just about that:D:rotfl::rotfl:.0 -

It's been a few years since I was dealing with this stuff but you might be better finding out about a palliative care nurse, or a Marie Curie nurse if they're available in your area?
Someone who has been dealing with it recently might be better placed to advise. TS maybe?
We were told he would be visited and checked by a nurse twice a day. Not care needs but to identify infections as take hold so quickly.
Dont get me wrong there are some fantastic agency carers out there but Dad would not tolerate a different person each visit.
He did say last week he was happy for a few days in hospice just to see what it is like.
We have been told he would have nurses visit twice a day to check him and make him a cuppa. More care could be arranged when needed. I think if dad is using oxygen every day then we might have gone beyond that. He was quite cheerful in hospital over weekend but as his bloods got low he rapidly declined.
If employing a carer I know he would prefer to see same person most of the time.
Sorry hard to get accross what I mean but if he is getting carer twice a day they will not have the medical knowledge to assess him.
I would prefer to stay with him myself, which he might actually allow now. Sister says they are lurching from one infection to the next. Had been told that nurses would test bloods and arrange when needed.
My sister does play things down a bit but if she has had oxygen training I would have expected them to think she is there all the time (which is impossible).
Dad will not be out tomorrow as stuff not delivered yet.
His attitude to visitors has not changed.
What I dont get is all these agenceies working together Sue Ryder, Macmillan and Marie Curie you would think they would have standardised plans for this illness. We were told will be nurse twice a day as they can approach his needs better.
I am scared of them letting him home and having to go to hospice within a few days after another crisis. The plan we have been told is to keep him out of hospital and comfortable.
Sorry words not coming out right but I think you will understand.
