    Aimee, sorry to hear things didn't exactly work out for you both
    SSL - DS1 sometimes gets up, sometimes doesn't, more often than not he stays in his room ok but makes a racket so have to take him downstairs or we end up with DS2 up aswell. The Scottish way of house prices is really confusing, hope you do find somewhere you like at the right 'bid' if that is what they call it up there..
    Pigpen, dance stuff usually sells well. Don't forget the sensory stuff, that should be OT remitt aswell. Stuff like being on level with his peers causing pressure, bike riding, swimming etc they might do so always worth asking.
    JillD don't you dare feel guilty, there is many of us on here with what pigpen renamed WIL's for Witch in Laws, you don't need to feel guilty, it's his Mother let him sort that side out!
    Soappie, well done, lovely home you have :)
    Mudbath, sorry to hear about your thumb, wonder if you could just take time off on that IB you were told you were entitled to? Got to be better than making the injury worse IMO especially if the income will be similar with working part time.
    jjef wahooo great news that you're back 'full time' :D
    JustaMum great to hear you got it refunded!
    Johanne, I am pleased you're still bumpity because I hate it when I am right, praying I am definately not right now and she doesn't make you wait until next Monday.

    Hugs all round, sorry if I missed anything I wanted to put, what a lot you are for trying to catch up with, I've been on twice and only caught up with reading, ran out of time to post.

    I've got the sex of a baby wrong once, it was twins and they were one of each so allowed to be wrong :D I bought little Matthew all blue things and we didn't know he was going to be a boy from scans, same with my 2, my Mam kept saying 'hope you don't have a girl' as I only bought boys things........2 boys, knew both times without a scan.

    Right, well productive day, we've found a burgervan, got some studying done (but not as much as I'd have liked) then shock DP asked tonight 'what do you need help with?' well my response was 'pick me up off the floor as I've passed out then you can tidy the sitting room' he did, well in his way, junks in a pile, study books in a pile (they were across the corner suite) whatever he could into the kitchen I was tidying. :rotfl: before you ask I know what he's after ;) makes all the difference putting them on a ban......hehehehe. DSs are off on Thursday so one less study day now, so need to knuckle down tomorrow. .

    Oh and I think I will be changing who I shop with again, 26 subsitutions from Tesco, I buy value basics mainly so they of course put the most expensive alternatives in, back to Asda I think as long as the price isn't hugely different on mysupermarket.
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    This made me giggle i have got quite few too, i have most adults birthday presents bought in xmas sales and all adults xmas pressies, all cards personal and general. I also trawl through the sales to see if i can drop on a bargain.

    I feel quite ill....

    I did buy Christmas cards and wrap in the sales, but I do actually enjoy Christmas shopping. I love to think about what I'm going to buy everyone. Of course, I do it on line and through Quidco. I'm just weird I guess :rotfl:
