    ivyleaf, I found the link on the Motability website for the place I was thinking of. Rica. I'm off to have a bit of a browse since I'll be looking for October. Unless I get tossed off the scheme when I have to go to PIP assessement. I'm so cheesed off as I only missed out staying on DLA (have indefinite award) by 5 months. :(

    Youngest is allergic to rhubarb so we tend not to have any of that growing in the garden or stored in the house...his last allergic reaction to it was a proper blues and two affair, tubes etc galore so best not to risk it again, we almost lost him that day.

    He loves peas though, I can't stand them.
    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.

    Strange what people are allergic to, I have a friend allergic to kiwi and another allergic to cherries.

    I love peas and was in terrible trouble for leaving them off Mrs Generali's plate tonight by mistake.

    I don't eat rhubarb but that's largely because I've only had it in school dinners which were a disgrace. I cooked it for Mrs Generali once but didn't have any. Over here it's a premium product, very much. £15 a lb or more if you can get it which is almost never in Sydney.

    I'd take the pedal off that sink.

    Very windy round here. We've just trimmed the dog of his winter coat so we can keep him clean; maybe we should have waited.
    Just spotted that we're getting close to the point here we'll need a new thread starter.
    Any suggestions?

    I've never really eaten rhubarb as I thought I didn't like it but I had a lovely bit of someone's rhubarb crumble not very long ago and I had a stunning rhubarb bellini at M in Victoria Street a few weeks back.

    Eating out for the third/fourth time this week tonight. I sneaked in a cheeky chicken katsu in Brum for lunch one day, but it wasn't a social thing.

    I nominate maggie. No good reason. Someone has to do it and she is as good a person as any. A person with 99.998% of an arm is prolly better able to do it than someone like me with 75% of a pair of parotid glands.

    (maggie is perfectly welcome to tell me to mind my own BTW and I won't get upset).

    I think he read the posts about foursomes and needed a lie down.

    I was going to nominate michaels too but saw your post and thought I'd start an argument. :)
