Daily Chat thread Friday (woo!) 2nd Nov

Snaggles

Sammy, he seems back to his usual self today, thanks for asking. A few people have reassured me a bit that the occasional bit of 'odd behaviour' is par for the course with autism spectrum disorders, so I'm trying not to over-react, because I don't want Ryan to think of it as a big deal.

I'm naturally a real worrier though, so it's hard to fight the instinct to panic!

Many congratulations Hypno.

Thank you!! I am going to be working in a prison, tutoring inmates in any or all of the following:

confidence building and life skills
entry to employment
business studies
personal motivation and goal setting

I have already accepted - don't want to give them chance to change their minds:rotfl:

Hey if it's Norwich prison let me know if you come across any of my brothers:rotfl: I always said they were up to no good...:rotfl:

yayyyyyyy!!!! :T

I phoned MFI again about the wrong handles for my furniture. The girl I first spoke to (same one I spoke to on Wed who promised to call me back yesterday and didn't) said I'd have to pay £56 for the 8 handles :eek: . She then passed me to a colleague as she said she had to go and pick up her daughter........and I managed to get them for free

He asked if they were for bedroom furniture and I explained (again) that I'd been sent 8 curved handles and the rest straight an that there was no way I'd have bought half one style and half another (true!). He said 'sounds like you spoke to a right idiot when you bought them'...........and said 'there you go, I've put them through for nothing'........;)

And I didn't even have to flirt with him !! (my next plan of attack!!! :cool: :rotfl: )

Hypno, that's wonderful news. I hope you have lots of fun. Any ideas when you'll start work?

Will you have to do a CRB to work in the prison?

god I'm a nosey sod today! Just tell me to mind my own business.

I have to wait for CRB and other bits to be done, but they can fast-track it apparently, so hopefully starting before the end of the month which would give my first pay packet at around Christmas - bonus!!

Thats excellent news Hypno :dance:

I'm really proud of myself today, I had a NSD, I didn't really think it was possible but there you go and it's only the 2nd, I hope I have many more NSD this month.

Sorry to hear about the OH Sam. I hope he gets a job sorted out soon. I'm sure there'll be plenty of jobs out there.
