  • I agree, it is good though that he has a number of coping strategies. He would benefit from the statement, now.... and especially when he moves to high school as there will be lots of things put in place for him.
    I thought Martin looked a bit like Cliff Richard on speed, but then again i do have a weird way of looking at things:rotfl: :rotfl: Its the stare that does it:rotfl:

    Phew.....just as a bit of light relief, does anyone else think that Martin looks like a Thunderbird in his Wimbledon outfit, when you catch sight of him out of the corner of your eye? :cool:

    Which one?

    Cliff Richard on speed :rotfl: now there's something I would willingly put my DF date back to PAY to see! :rotfl:

    Zed, what are you like :D - I should be used to dealing with people who need accuracy and clarity by now, so just for you, don't you think that Martin looks rather like one of the Tracy brothers from Thunderbirds in his Wimbledon outfit (if you're not looking straight at him, that is!)? :p;)

    Hypno, as long as you're sitting nicely and not fidgetting, you can have a biscuit - wonder if you can guess what sort they are? :)

    Hiya Bob, I had piles once. I jumped off the side of a ship in the Indian ocean, screamed at the pain and climbed straight back out again. I think it cured them though; but not for long. Hiya Mrs S :wave:

    Awww Beanie, I hope you have a fantastic time xxx

    Well, today has been quite interesting, had a much better day at work and came home to a second email from Playboy casino offering the free £20, so I will go and trawl the Playboy thread in a minute to find out how to escape with the most money possible intact!

    Also had surveys totalling £1.25 in my inbox......I will be a millionaire before you know it! :rotfl:

    My new mobile arrives tomorrow :j and then I need to decide whether to try to buy another one through Quidco for Stu, or just use the refer a friend thing on the 3 website (as I'm not sure if a second purchase through Quidco would track). Stu is bound to want to download a game or two onto his phone, so maybe the extra phone credit for the recommend a friend scheme might actually be a better option.

    Hope everyone is having a good day - just going to pop out to the supermarket (will be back later to confess spending if we don't stick to budget...lol), and then going to relax with a nice glass of wine once the kids are in bed.

    Edit - Oh hi there Mr Lenny - didn't spot you there! :wave:

  • I could do with a nice glass of wine too..the piles aren't so bad, just edging for a sympathy vote and a jaffa....
    I may try lenny's cure though, now where to find a nice cruise ship in the Indian ocean..Hmmmm
