    I laughed so much at that, it set my coughing off again! :T

    Oops, sorry :(
    I hope you've you've got a kettle and a microwave in there as well!
    Oh, and a bedpan :D:D
    I didn't, but I would have been happy to get out of bed for personal reasons ;)

    I only said it to the boss as a joke, actually. I did get up really.

    All in the past though, I don't work at all now - even better ;)

    I've not got the equipment to be recording. How long does a phone camera work for? 10 minutes max probably before it goes dead.

    [STRIKE]Download a time lapse camera app?[/STRIKE] I've turned over a new leaf, and I'm going to stop all the helpful suggestions.
    No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?

    It's funny, isn't, how Latin is quite all right, but Anglo-Saxon sends the censor into overdrive! :rotfl:

    Hehe, self censored....I don't like writing swear words, especially the really naughty ones.
    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 hardly ever use the F-word, except when I hit my thumb with a hammer, (and I reckon it's allowed then!), so from now on, I shall refer to 'that copulating thing!' when I'm riled with something! :rotfl:

    You know I mentioned my delivery trials and tribulations last month?mwell, I don't think I mentioned the dire ones I had this week........can't find a post on here from me about them.

    Anyway, it was DPD again, and more serious, so several emails of (polite ) complaint were sent over a couple of days.

    This morning I got a surprise delivery from DPD , and it was a box of Thornton's chocolates and an apology card.

    So credit where it's due, they had read my emails, and had acted on them :)

    But then you'd also need the food cupboard, fridge and breadbin. The microwave etc are no use without stuff to put in them. I've just woken up and managed with some difficulty to summon up the energy and enthusiasm required to go downstairs and microwave a couple of pains au chocolat for breakfast (those individually wrapped ones that keep reasonably well). Now I fancy a hot drink, but having what it takes to get up and go downstairs and make one is not happening immediately. Catching up on the NPT and another forum I frequent might make me feel a little more awake.

    Oh, and wear your seatbelt. My kids are only alive because they were wearing theirs when somebody else was driving in wet weather with worn tyres.     :)

    Fair play to them. I should complain more often. Yodel once was delivering a crate of wine to me and didn't ring the doorbell, just put a blank you-were-out card through door and left 12 bottles of wine in the front garden in a London street. I was not happy!

    Well, PN, if you do ever make that video, this would be good for the soundtrack...........

    (The song starts at about 0:55, but it's worth watching the preamble to see what the horse does!)

    And if you're old enough to remember this guy..............:rotfl:

    My current parcel problem isn't the delivery person's fault. The email says it was delivered yesterday. DS says DD had it. DD had left for school so I texted her, and she replied saying it's somewhere in the house but she can't remember where! I'm not searching everywhere in my current state of lethargy - she can find it when she gets back from school!

    Clever horse, Pyxis!
