    I found this site by accident around the time of the ambrosia glitch and Artha made me feel very welcome, I met up with him by chance in Sada a few times, and a number of personal messages what a lovely chap - very kind and genuine x I found out that Claire 1972 lives near me and we now meet up for glitchy chats and raid each other's stash from time to time. my food bill before finding this site could be up to £400 a month, I doubt I even spend that in 6 months these days - love this site and can't thank those that contribute enough xxx

    Evening all, yes I remember these days well. I really miss Artha, he is a lovely man, helped me a lot in the early days. Me too save so much money each month due to the lovely people on this thread. I know I don't contribute that much to the thread, but I do share as much as I can.
    I will now share with you my half failed muller shop! Compaired against Sainsburys :mad:

    Had DS2 come in about half an hour ago. 'Mum, I've got a sore leg'

    I put the big light on and told him to sit down, felt all down his legs and told him to tell me if I touched a hurty bit.....all the way to his ankles and nothing :cool: (bear in mind he has real problems explaining some things....pain being one) He also has a pain threshold like you wouldn't believe so if he say it's sore.....it is :eek:
    So then I got his feet up on the sofa and started checking his feet. Got onto the third toe on the second foot and said 'not that leg, the one next to it' :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    I found it :D he has a blister on his toe :o So popped the blister _pale_ and put a fabric (AKA known as magic ;)) plaster on it. I'll deal with getting air on to it tomorrow.....he wears his socks 24/7 :o

    I did start a conversation about being more specific but he just told me his toes are part of his leg so therefore he had a sore leg.

    I left it there :o :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    I think your brilliant savvy x
    So the interesting question is how did you find the elite savvy. Answer in under 100 words please , if that is possible ;):rotfl:

    Yes I do have that word applied to me, and, without wishing to be know-all condescending (I promise!), I think I probably can take ownership of that word.

    Brilliant but... socially inept! I think that's how it's put:rotfl:. But I don't worry about that last bit.

    To be fair, it's very likely a bit unkind to me to call me "socially inept" (no-one ever wants to be seen as such) as I'm not that bad, but I do have my occasional :doh: moments. And there are blank-spots in my RL: certain things, of normal everyday life, that I can't remember and have difficulty ever remembering. Such as... what to do if the boiler breaks down. They (my family) can leave me diagrams, drawings, everything, even take me though the whole procedure, but I still would never have a clue - even if it has been shown to me fully before, by the time it ever breaks down (touch wood, hopefully years away), I wouldn't have a clue what to do! I just never retain that sort of information (and, somehow, just can't remember it even if I were to try). So, I'd be back on the Internet again, searching for the make and model number and going and reading in depth for hours on the user manual and all the instructions of how to sort things out instead of just "knowing" (or ever remembering) what I've been shown. It will be literal start from scratch and will take me ages to find out all the steps and what to do - but I would get there, and would manage it. Even if it would take far longer than it ever should:(. Woe betide them (or rather me:() if the instruction manuals are not precisely and exactly profoundly clear on every point...!:(:(:rotfl::mad::(

    Oh Sarah it's been a day with him :eek: there were roadworks near the zebra crossing down from his school today. For whatever reason the Zebra was coned off and as that's the the place he always crosses and it was blocked.....he just stood there :o wouldn't contemplate crossing anywhere else and stood there until I went (after a frantic call from my house guest) to physically go there and take him to another place to cross :( it's sad really because he just won't do anything he's not conditioned to. I spent ages....blood, sweat and tears training him how to use the Zebra crossing safely. I never made provisions for it getting shut off :o:(

    Small things that people will find a way round.....and he just froze. literally!
