Stuff

Not a lot today as such...Did a quick tidy up of rubbish in M's room...Most of it was G's...What is it about teenage boys and rubbish strewn over their rooms!!!...M's girlfriend has just come round...She's very upset and i've just spent ages giving her a big massive hug...Her mum's just found out she has cancer :o( ...Now his g/f has special needs too so she hasn't been able to tell me what kind...Only that it is inside her :o( Horrid horrid news to get at any time but this close to christmas is just awful :o(  I don't really know her mum so i can't phone and ask or say anything to her...M's been giving her lots of hugs too and they're now through in his room on the PS2...Even though she's 17½ she's not that old mentally and i could just pick her up and hug her all afternoon...Playing on the PS2 with M is probs better though...Take her mind off it for a while...You know i may moan and whinge about M being a right pain in the rear end but he can be such a sweetheart at times...And he is very attentive to his g/f :o)

   

Did you know that traditionally it was considered unlucky to put up your christmas decorations before christmas eve...So why do all the shops try to get us to but them earlier every year LOL...By the middle of the week i want to have most of mine up...I think i will leave the tree until next weekend though...I need more of those small brass cup hooks to put around  the window edges...I use them to put the lights around so they stay in place on the windows...I just leave them up permanently, same as the ones in the stairwell...So far we've only had 2 cards arrive...Then again we don't get loads anyways...Last night i started making mine...Going to almost finish them later this afternoon but i do need to go and get some christmas ribbon for what i want to do to finish them off...I still can't get in the mood to be honest...It's either the weather, lack of money or both LOL...Mainly the weather i think as it still doesn;t feel like december...Oh has anyone seen the Irn Bru christmas ad on the telly...It is hilarious :o)

    

Thank you for the comments you left K...So glad you confirmed my suspicions that this introductory book is written by americans...No offence meant to any american readers here btw...Just in some places over in the states some of the *professionals* have very strange ideas regarding autism/aspergers...The very nature of saying that something MAY progress into adulthood implies that it also MAY not...IT IS a LIFELONG condition...With the right help, education, lifeskills being taught etc etc can mean that it won't be as visible but it is still there and NOT gone...Oh well we'll see what happens when you come to study it <ggg> G is watching a repeat of an old Robot Wars on SkyTwo...Do wish that programme hadn't been killed off by Five tv...It was great fun and G really wanted to find people to hook up with to build a robot and take part...After he's finished watching it i can swap being on here with him so i can go get the basic layout of my cards made :o)  I really need some more chrismassy siggy tags if anyone wants to donate one LOL...Oh and VOTE BEN tonite on X Factor <ggg>...and if you're in a bad mood and want to get it out then try this christmas game LOL...Title sounds a bit dodgy but Frank is name of the penguin in it and you have to thwack him to get points LOL

How sad about that girl's mother.  Horrible at any time.  I hope it is treatable and she makes a full recovery.  Yes, Christmas Eve is traditionally the time for decs but honestly, would we have the time?  Also because of the price of them, we like to get our moneys worth and they do brighten dark and chilly winter days.

Caff I am sorry about M's g/f mother I hope it is in the early stages and will be easy to treat ~ glad M is giving her lots of attention ~ have you noticed how the prices of all Christmas goods in the shops has started to be lowered in the hope they can sell everything before the big day ~ Yes I am going to vote for Ben ~ Ally

You should stop by some of the fab graphics journals Caff - they have some fabby xmassey tags :-)  Bless M's girlfriend what horrible news to have just before xmas ~ best wishes to her and her family.  I know what you mean about it not feeling like xmas.  I think I feel like this every year though.

Oh that's horrible news about M's girlfriends Mum, I do hope that it's treatable.  Good for M looking after her like that though.  

I voted for Ben, I think about four times!!  Can't believe he didn't get through to the final :o(  Hopefully it's not the last we hear from him.
