Haven't written anything for a couple of weeks so thought i better do an entry...Not that i have much to say as such...Says she before she writes a screed lol.
Mum is still plastered but has appointment next thurs so i presume they will take it off then...And i thought kids were bad enough but when mum was shopping in the town my little sis lives in this woman in her 60s/70s went up to mum and spoke about her plaster...The woman was miffed and jealous that mums plaster is purple as she had only been given a plain old white one LOL...Mum actually didn't get asked they just put on the purple one...Me i was bad on wed and bought some of the fresh cooked chicken drumsticks from asda and ate them...Not good as i've spent yesterday and today ill and running to the loo again...I just can't eat chicken at all since the gall bladder trouble 3 years ago...So M smacked my hand earlier LOL.
M is 17 next wed so i went and booked a party for him on wed for sun 1st june...Indoor adventure golf party with dodgems and this XD theatre thing as well as food...But it's at 10.15am as they only do the golf parties early in the morning like that...How stupid is that for crying out loud...Plus the teen parties (bowling or golf) are supposed to be for 12-16...The place it's at do parties for 3 and under, 3-10, 5-11, 6-11, 12-16 and then adult which is 18+....What about the poor 17 year olds!!!!!...Never mind it's booked and so far everyone who has replied has said they're going...M and me are on our own this weekend as G is away with his base on an adventure weekend up at Nethybridge which is near the Cairngorms.
Abernethy Trust Nethybridge Outdoor Centre
This is his last trip with them as that's him effectively left school now...When he first went to the base the trip was to Lagganlia (sp) which is near Aviemore, then for the next 3 years they went to Lochgoilhead over on the west coast, last year to same place as this year...He's always really enjoyed these weekends, mainly because they do lots of watersports which he loves...They did sailing for the first time last year and it's the only watersport he's tried that he didn't like that much...He had his Higher Physics exam this morning before they went off grrrr...Means i have got to wait until monday to find out how he thinks it went...He had his Advanced Higher Maths on tues and he said it was easier that the prelim and went a lot better :o) He is positive that he has definitely improved to a B grade pass but maybe an A...He got a C pass in the prelim and he wasn't happy with it at all...His Advanced Higher Tech Studies isn't until june...Then he has the leavers lunch and that's it until he starts at Robert Gordons University in Sept...He's come on one heck of a journey over the years...From being totally non verbal and eventually diagnosed with autism just after his 3rd birthday to starting to speak when he turned 5, then being integrated into mainstream primary part way through P2...Then for secondary school we were fortunate enough to live somewhere that there is specialist provision for pupils with aspergers/high functioning autism within mainstream secondary school...I am not sure but i think the MICAS bases are unique to our city in Scotland...I know that the one G has attended was unique in Scotland until our council opened more and they have continued to expand to the city now having 5 such bases in different areas of the city :o) I'd love to see some of the people who were around when he was 3 and say 'look at him now' Some of whom held out no hope of him being in mainstream schooling let alone going to university or hopefully getting a job...Even now in this day regardless of where they are on the autistic spectrum there are less than 50% of adults with an ASD in full time employment in Scotland :o(
M has work experience from 2nd -6th june...He will be working in an office at one of the council buildings near his school...It's the education dept office and he will be an office junior...Am happy enough with that as i really didn't want him working with the janitor or in the kitchen...The original job he was going to do fell through before easter hence this one instead...So although he's allowed to wear his school clothes he is wearing a shirt and tie and smart trousers and jacket...Because that is what you wear to work in an office...So i've bought him another new shirt that has come with a tie and is young looking rather than old looking...He doesn't know but the other one he liked my best pal has bought him for his birthday :o) He will be leaving for full time SEN course at college starting in aug and i am seriously concerned about it but i till talk about that another day after i have spoken to people i need to speak to.
I've decided to try and set my sights on getting a stand at some of the autumn wedding fayres and see how things go from there with the jewellery and the cards...I of course need to make much much more than i have at the mo...As everything apart from earrings has been made as gifts i need to make them up again...And i've spoken to someone about trying to get decent pics done...One of the mums from the weekend away who has what i call a proper camera...In other words an SLR camera rather than wee point and shoot jobby :o) Hope everyone reading is well and happy...Told you it would end up a bit of a screed lol

Had to laugh at the 17 problem - it's been around for a long time I remember it well -neither fish nor fowl at that age (sorry I guess shouldn't have said FOWL)
I'm full of admiration Cathy, for you and for both of your boys. Just remember, their success is also yours because without you they may have achieved so much less, so you're absolutely justified in taking a huge amount of pride in their achievements. Outstanding, all 4 of you :O)
Hi Caff, Happy Birthday to M for next week, they grow up so quickly don`t they? One of the managers at work had a blue plaster when she broke her wrist, it made a change from NHS white. At least the coloured ones stay cleaner longer!I`m sorry to hear that the chicken upset you, you`d think that chicken would be easy on your stomach but obviously not, I hope you feel better soon.
Love Sandra xxxx
Smiling at the purple cast episode lolol, hope all goes well for her. And Happy Birthday M for next week.
