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..
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.0 -

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.
