Just a quickie...Do hope that everyone enjoyed their christmas day...We did and everyone was very happy with their pressies :o) ...M has spent nearly all of the £80 he got, G has spent some of his and K hit the sales in Primark yesterday...Seriously if you ever want to go shopping and find some bargains then she's the one to take along with you...She was a wee bit naughty and gave me loads of parcels...Mostly sweets she'd bought and wrapped up seperately LOL...She did give me a gorgeous candle that will NEVER be lit...How the person who makes them managed to mould such thin wax i will never know...It's navy with purple and teal on it of a flower type arrangement and looks like an ornament...She also gave me a new dragon and he is gorgeous too...He's navy, purple, teal and silver and rather handsome and the pic is of him...She also got me a fab soft, very cuddly tigger :o) I got a dragon from M and the dragon calendar from G...They also got me sweets and bubble bath...We've all overeaten but it's only once a year and the diet can start after new years day LOL
Did anyone watch the programme last night on ITV called 'After Thomas'??? I did and i sat and i blubbed my way through the whole programme...It was a true story about a lad with autism and how he changed and started to interact and communicate after he got a dog when he was 6...At the end of the programme they had an update bit before the credits...He's now 17 and passed a whole pile of GCSE's and is doing child care at college...There was a lot in the programme reminded me of how my 2 were when they were little...Obviously we never got a dog as M is petrified of them but we've used other things to get them communicating well...I didn't find the programme sad at all just it took me back to so much i couldn't help bursting into tears all the time...Some were tears of joy though...I found it particularly moving and enlightening to people who have had no dealings with autism at all...Will do a proper entry another day

I`m so pleased you had a lovely Christmas and that everyone liked their presents. I watched that programme too Caff and thoroughly enjoyed it. I really felt for the family and I didn`t realise just how time consuming caring for a child with autism could be. It was very enlightening as well as entertaining and I won`t forget it in a hurry.

I sooo wish I had seen that drama Caff... my Mum had told me that it was going to be on, and was going to let me know when, but must have forgotten. I hope it's repeated at some point. Glad you all had such a good Christmas :o)
