    Why would he buy carrots? He doesn't like carrots. He likes Margaret.

    I'm confused.

    I thought he liked bacon butties!

    You would have been stuffed in my Tesco the other week then, stuff had been moved from one end of the store to the other.

    That is literally the stuff of nightmares!!

    What happened to the other thread? We'll never find out what happened at the bacon butty stand now.

    Maybe the hubby's eyesight is going, because he doesn't eat enough carrots?

    Giving my now ex hubby a list didn't work either, he would still come back with everything other than the stuff he was supposed to get.

    His excuse? He forgot to look at the list, or he lost the list.
    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.

    I'd have been grateful his absentmindedness only extended to substituting loo roll for carrots, rather than vice versa.



    Maybe you could get him away from Margaret by encouraging him to utilise his skills where they'll be most appreciated. I hear the supermarkets are recruiting for home delivery order pickers and drivers...
    I could dream to wide extremes, I could do or die: I could yawn and be withdrawn and watch the world go by.

    I always remember a classic scene from One Foot in the Grave where Margaret had written a shopping list for Victor which included some polish in cherry fragrance, the type you use for dusting & polishing.
    What did he come back with?!

    Polish sherry!!! oregonian_winesmiley.gif
