This morning I heard news that my home town's pier had a fire about 7am and much of it has burned down. The fire engines couldn't get close to it and the tide was far out. I feel so sad about this terrible event. I just saw it on...

austinbell I like any sort of cheese I often think I am addicted to it as I get withdrawal symtoms if I don't have my daily fix of the stuff. I know I eat too much of it and am trying to cut down at the moment but it is not easy.

austinbell I buy quite a few things in Primark especially their t-shirts which are very good value at around £1.50 - £2.00. I also like Marks & Spencers for my trousers as I find they are the best fit for me, alittle expensive but you can pick up some bargins on ebay.

austinbell I don't shop at Asda but I think I would, like you have walked past these cheap sausages. It makes me wonder what kind of ingredients must be in there if they can sell them at such a low price, on the other hand are they lost leaders?

Are you still sane? Did you need therapy because of it? Those of you without kids like this won't understand; those with these kids are probably nodding right now. My youngest child was diagnosed when he was in the 3rd...

austinbell thank you for your kind wishes I hope things get better for you as well. It is very difficult having a child like this and having to fight all the way for them just makes it a much harder job
