    Yeah, they do master accounts on there now. Saved me a bit of time yesterday when doing the deed and means I don't have to remember yet another blooming password. Generally it has no impact and I rarely use their so called easy to switch between membership, I still visit the sites individually.
    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.

    Agreed Hamish, as I said before, others have posted more offensive or eek than he has and still manage to be here.

    Indeed.

    Of course it's not just offensive content - there's also a plethora of mostly subjective 'rules' on all sorts of other things.
    There should be something in place to counteract false reporting rather than just acting on the fact that x amount of people reported something.

    Yes there should.

    Yes, always have. Always been single, so always done it.

    Over a grand AFTER single occupancy discount? :(
    Crikey, I'm paying £850 after discount on my 3-bed semi in Copeland and only a shade over a grand with no discount on my 2-bed flat in Southampton.
    Maybe you shouldn't have chosen such a posh area/house :p

    Got the PM. I'd have not spotted if straight away if others hadn't mentioned it .... as they don't always give me a pop up when I arrive.

    Went to register and it says I already have an account as the master company's server.... so I need to investigate how/why I've got an account with that organisation, before deciding whether to log in as that person ... or use a different email :)

    I did notice though that The Big G has joined :)

    I had that. There seems to be no link between the nice people board and anything else - even my avatar didn't transfer over and I could register 'silvercar' on the nice people even though I had used the same name before.

    Band C.

    That explains it - both the flat and the house are Band A.

    As I thought, posh area :p

    Savings ... top tip: those ISAs you thought you should get? They can lose you more than they've ever been worth :)
    But ... you can't cash it out and buy a flash car just to avoid a bill.



    Erm do you mind ? ...
