    Grrrrr........mini rant coming up........my Mum's latest theory is that Ryan is autistic because I'm 'a bit like that too'.....:mad:

    As if I'm not already carrying enough guilt that it could be somehow my fault! :mad: :mad:

    And breathe.........:o

    And so how (by her theory) did you end up a bit like that..? :whistle:

    oh snaggles, I can't believe she said that. it's noone's fault and she's bonkers. I went to school with someone who recently announced he has aspergers (not sure of spelling), he was a bit quiet at school but ok and now has career in engineering so it's not all doom and gloom. you sound a fab mum.

    Came to your senses and went from where the smell is strong and the beer is weak to a much better place...

    Lol, well the beer didn't really bother me, but I'm pretty sure they water down their Jack Daniels, and that's just sacrilege!

    What's the smell though? I don't remember a smell (although I was a student at the time, so maybe I was desensitised!). :D
