    What you gonna do? Stack 'em all on top of each other and see if you can feel the pea that you put under the bottom mattress?
    :rotfl:

    I shall try one. If I like it, I'll return the other. If not, the first will go to landfill in the 100 days trial, and I'll try the second.

    Should I try Emma first, or Casper?

    I wanted to bed down with Eve, but they put her price up. :(

    Seriously, who chooses these name? Are they the product of lots of focus groups?

    Should any of the NP decide to have a birthday today, they are instructed to have a very happy one :)

    Does anyone know about batmitzvahs? DD2 has been invited to one, there seems to be some sort of service which she won't attend and then some sort of party. Should she wear a belly top and a belt and bring pepperami?
    I think....

    Is missing out on the Batmitzvah service like attending the wedding party, but not the wedding?

    "Should she wear a belly top and a belt and bring pepperami?" - I recognise all the individual words in that, but they have been put together in an order that entirely fails to make sense.

    Oh, and happy birthday!

    snap. :D

    Also, I was wondering whether pepperami would be entirely appropriate for a Jewish party?

    Of, course, there might be a wholly appropriate subtext that I have completely missed! :D

    Well, he must be a good bloke, he supports my football team. I say my, but it doesn't actually belong to me.
    :footie::footie:
    Never heard of him nor his bands.

    Michaels, eat your heart out! I have just bought a £150 printer/scanner for under £5. The process is quite convoluted, though. I'll PM you if you like.

    Edit: You'll probably explain how I should have done it!

    My very darling and amusing wife spotted in the newspaper:

    "A talk: From cannibalism to Christianity, followed by a finger buffet." :D

    Thank you!

    Why wouldn't she attend the service?

    Usually the dress code is written on the invite, though "dress to party" is often written which is not much help!

    In true Black Friday style, I had a no spend day.....
    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.
