Do you have a neighbour who may have a spare pair? Youngest couldn't find his cufflinks when it came to the prom (he had forgotten to bring them to my parent's) but a quick visit around the neighbours managed to secure a pair.We made it! All three boys have graduated, it's been hard work but it shows there is a possibility of a chance of normal (ish) life after a diagnosis (or two) of ASD. It's not been the easiest route but I am so glad I ignored everything and everyone and did my own therapies with them.
Eldests' EDS diagnosis 4.5.10, mine 13.1.11 eekk - now having fun and games as a wheelchair user.0 -

Tbh, we certainly have some in the house. But cannot find them. :mad:0 -

I am an O2 customer and didn't know that, lol.
I'll have to find out more.
The app is called "O2 wifi".
I can also log on to virgin wifi outdoors, because I have virgin broadband at home.

I think it's very romantic that he prefers to spend his weekends with you.

Sounds like you've got what I'm considering, or have you got an upgraded phone service. We reckon we'd save at least £10 per month with the £5 SIM.We have a landline for the same reason as PN, mobile calls keep dropping in the house. Shame really as we have all have unlimited calls on our mobiles.
I pay the extra (£5 a month I think) to include calls at anytime including 0845 etc. We are all very well trained to not use the home phone for mobiles. I rarely have an extra charges on the landline bill. We also like the smart-talk app that lets you use the mobile from abroad through the app at whatever the charge from your home phone would be (basically Voip like skype, but the quality is high) so OH phones home for free from abroad.
Are they the capped contract; we already have that for DD. It's a pricier alternative we'd considered, but a very generous allowance. TBH if Virgin offered two £5 SIMS we'd consider getting one for her as well.vivatifosi wrote: »We have BT and BT Internet here, partly for the sports (Moto GP). Parents have a good package with TalkTalk which gives them unlimited calls including international (mum can phone her brother in Australia every day), two mobiles and unlimited internet. I've tried to show both Skype, but they struggle to hear.
Our mobiles are from Tesco, 750 minutes each, plenty of internet (3Gb from memory but we tend to use free wifi more), and unlimited texts. Costs £15 for two phones.
Does that just stop your house being a dead zone for reception?I have never actually found a working O2 hotspot but now we have the BT boradband I have made use of the free wifi.
WE have a box that you plug into your internet router and it gives you EE signal in your house but no longer have any EE phones. WE were going to sell it on ebay (they go for about 100) but if there is a NP who would benefit....There is no honour to be had in not knowing a thing that can be known - Danny Baker0 -

His first consideration is all the cheese he can't eat while training for it, so I agree cheese is more important.When using the housing forum please use the sticky threads for valuable information.0 -
Incidentally, Doglet loves cheese, too.No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?0
