  • Well done Melly! :) It seems like perhaps little and often (as possible) is the way to go? Your stomach will be so small with not eating often.

    Here's something to make everyone laugh! Well it did me anyhow! No triggers for anyone I don't think?

    So I'm not getting this job. Just scored 38% on the practice test. Dyscalcula and maths do not mix

  • Did we do the floating support worker?

    It's either Tinkerbell (:D) or a worker that works in your home to help you with your issues, usually for a limited time. The workers 'float' to your home, and 'float' from person to person in the community.
    Ex board guide. Signature now changed (if you know, you know).
  • I have that too Code. Give the test a go though because you may get lucky with the questions. I find certain things easier than others.

    Melly a floating support worker usually does home visits, maybe once a week depending on your needs. They tend to focus more on what you want to deal with.

    Hubby doesn't come to bed when I go to bed as I go quite early, and its starting to upset me. I think I'm maybe just emotional because I feel uncomfortable with my sinuses

    I like to think of them as the ghost of christmas past from the Muppets Christmas Carol :rotfl:

    Right, 2 more work days then I can get properly Christmassy. How soon in advance do you think I can make gingerbread men and wine sachets.

    I did the test. The questions were a little easier than the practice one but I still didn't manage to finish. At least it's one thing off my plate.

    Welly, I wouldn't take it personally. Maybe he's just not tired or wants to give you some alone time. Hugs for the sinuses. Have you tried a neti pot?

    Totally normal! D does it every time we're going somewhere new. He needs to visualise it in his mind. Then when we get there he's like "right, there's that bridge" or "you go past a church on your left" etc. Hes actually got a pretty good sense of direction, but likes to get it all organised in his mind.

    I love my sat nav for long journeys, gives an extra piece of mind when you haven't got a damn clue where you are! :rotfl:

    The thing is, I have been there before...twice (4 times if you include the times I wasn't driving)!

    I also have a very good sense of direction, a good memory for routes etc but I have to plan. For example, we went to the same place for 20 years for a holiday, I could probably do the route in my sleep but every year, I would take a pen, a piece of paper (this is obviously before Google maps, showing my age now!) and note down all the route changes, landmarks to look out for etc....I never once needed to look at it on the drive though.

    It went ok, got caught up in a traffic jam on the way which put my whole schedule out the window and stressed me a little (ok a lot) and I was having palpitations at the thought of being diverted off our route but another personal success even if I am absolutely blooming shattered but can't now sleep.
    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.

    I can't sleep now. Everyone is snuffling or coughing, and I have a tickle at the back of my throat.

    welly, DH does the same, especially since we had littlewing. He needs to have time on his own in the still of the night, otherwise he is a right grumpy so-and-so. He does come in to give me a kiss (and sometimes extras). At times I suspect that is to ensure I am in bed and he won't be interrupted! It used to upset me at times but we discussed it -not as grown-uply as it sounds - a few times and I can accept it as a need.
    :heartsmil When you find people who not only tolerate your quirks but celebrate them with glad cries of "Me too!" be sure to cherish them. Because these weirdos are your true family.
