    It does really get my blood boiling when I read for the zillionth time "oh, but I can't cancel my top-level Sky package, I don't work and its my only entertainment." Grrr..
    With some the list goes on and on and on...
    Sky+
    Mobile phones all round on contracts, including the kids
    Holidays
    Car loan/sports car/pricey insurance
    Clothes

    The list goes on....

    I've always worked, I have no debt. I have no subscriptions to any cable or sky services and no mobile phone contract...and none of that other stuff ... wonder if there's a connection that could be made.

    Somebody wants to turn Jamie Oliver's tongue into a nutritional meal for the whole family - he is giving me the right hump with all his "tweekle" lispings (wait for the disgruntled lisper to complain)

    Why should I have to feed the family for a fiver? It's very clever marketing on Sainsburys' part to condition you to buy the old cr4p that they normally can't give away, and to also condition you that a fiver is reasonable for a plate of what looks like school dinner plate scrapings.

    I personally think a fiver to feed a family is quite excessive.... I can do that for a pound!:rotfl:
    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.
