      Don't worry, that hadn't not occurred to me. The other issue, I can't sit in a car either. My leg cramps in about 5 minutes. Walking is OK, but it's too far.

        When you have a kid with special needs you'd soon realise that you have to fight get things put in place. I'm guessing by your comment that you've not been in this situation. Lucky you. When you are faced with a council trying to remove services and giving any excuse to justify it, then yes you do have to be an expert to fight for what you need.
        Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.

        I preferred version 1!

              Yes mate, tulip all seems to come in one big steaming pile. Don't let life get you down. I have discovered the joys of gin, why I never found it before I really don't know.

              I'll raise a glass to your speedy recovery as soon as I get home

              Hope all goes well with your kid as well, not easy to deal with an unhappy offspring. Fingers crossed it will snow soon, at least you'll be able to take the little sod sledging.

                WBBS. Seen it in the family. If your kids are 'normal' then say a little word of thanks each night before your head hits the pillow.

                      Found my cramps became more common as I got more stressed.

                      I used to use crampex when it got bad, however its in shortage so the local pharmacist recommended magnesium tablets which seem to do the trick and are available in any pharmacy.

                      hope it all comes right.
