  1. Baddad how could you.....it's one of the best films ever!!! Well the film i can have a good cry over is Indecent Proposal, whether i watch it from the beginning or find it on the tv and watch half way thru it still makes me blub. It is at the same point every time.....when Billy Conelly is auctioning of animals and woody Harrelson buys Demi the hippos, gets me every time. Then just as i sort myself out the end gets me when they are on the pier, i don't just blub, i sob. Everytime i am at this point hubby dissappears and comes back with some tissues

    my positive thread

    1 hour me time......peace and quiet. Every Saturday at the same time......pure bliss!!
  11. Well after 11 years togther we have finally got married..... We kept DS informed everystep of the way and what would be happening on the day itself and the 2 weeks after (he was staying with grandparents while we went on honeymoon). With normal anxieties being alot to bear, the added worries on how DS would actually cope were playing on my mind. Needless to say my worries were for nothing, he coped so well with the day, in fact he took my nerves away just before going into the church, he turned around and asked ' Mummy are you really sure you want to marry Daddy'? We all fell about laughing and i said to him of course i do because i love daddy...he replied that's ok then because you must love each other if you are going to get married.......don't you just love them! <'> He handled us being away really well, i phoned every night (much to hubby's annoyance as we were some what far away) at the time i said i would. The only problem was when we were due to come home, our flight was delayed by 17 hrs and he got angry because we werent home when we said we would be. It took a while, but after explaing that the plane was broke (that was a picture seeing at 1 point 16 men under the wing trying to c what the prob was) and why it was not safe to fly he finally understood. Anyway, we have just received our pictures back and you should see DS, he looks as proud as punch in them all. I have also had letters and phone calls saying how beautifully behaved both my children were on the day He now has pleasure going round telling everybody we have just got married and what my new name is. His school had an exciting week on our return, he was over excited and disrupted a few of the lessons, but his teachers were fab as they knew what had happened and didn't 'discipline' him in the normal way Well it finally gets me to what i originally came on to ask, how do i change my picture, i can't remember how i did it, and those initials represent my old name, and naturally i would like my new name. Anyway probably bored you to death with wedding and what an overly proud mother i feel (takes away the feeling when most of the time i feel like the worst) so just enjoying a rare happy moment and thought i would share with you all! <'>

    Taekwondo Trauma!

    My son broke his elbow last summer....ooouuuchhhhh He made less fuss over this than a little scratch. He was amazed at the special camera that could take pictures of his bones....he now knows it is an xray, but the simple terms helped with this ordeal. The nurses were fab, he was asking questions all the time about what they were doing to him and what it was for. and then when he could chose which cast he was overjoyed. I never thought breaking an elbow could give him so much pleasure! Of course i then went on to do everything for him, until 1 day i went in the lounge and there he was controller in his hand planying on the playstation!! Could not beleive how niave i had been....needless to say i stopped overdoing it on the helping with everything!
  13. I have only just discovered this thread but it has been a question that has been on my mind for sometime now. Ds is 8 and although his vocabulary is very good, his understanding is extremely poor (he was recently accessed) and i thought this would be a huge barrier in trying to discuss with him. I have made a note of some of the books listed, along with the advice on this thread i can now finally make my journey in letting him know.
  14. My son is 8 and i have started wondering when is the right time to tell him. I was about to post a topic on it but thought i would have a look thru others first, glad i did! Thank you mumble for the link to previous threads..... My friends daughter (who is in DS class) asked me in the summer why DS was special. I asked what she meant by that and she was referring to his 1-2-1 LSA. It kinda got me thinking when and what i should say to DS so i look forward to reading the threads.
  15. Thank you Karen for that advice. He does have an IEP in place and is reviewed termly with myself by his teacher. I definately have not been involved in anything else so that clears up the fact on whether he is statemented or not.....I can now see he isn't. If he is receiving 11 hrs 1-2-1, would it be that he receives either school action or school action plus?? Would it be up to me to request a meeting to see about getting a statement of educational needs?? Sorry for all the questions, i just feel like he needs more than the 11 he is currently getting. I don't like SENCO at his school, she is so unapproachable which is prob why i have not follwed it up, but DS is far more important to let this carry on ignored. Thanks again xx
  16. Thank you Kathryn, i wasn't sure so its reassuring to know i have not been a 'naughty' girl Thank you clare for your Pm. I am the wrong side of Berkshire for Woking, but thank you very much for your kind offer.
  17. Hi Anne Welcome to the forum. This is a fab place to come. Whenever you feel lonely, which sometimes it makes me feel, just come on here. Just reading threads alone gives you that bit of umph to make you realise you are not alone in this! <'> Tina

    Homework

    This is normally so true with DS. To make this even better news, he handed it in to the teacher and he was the 1st one to give both sets in!! I felt so proud of him. He even brought home his homework without me having to chase him to go back and get it I will enjoy this moment while it lasts!! I live in hope it continues
  19. LOL Personally i am more of a Twi*l kinda o gal, but my mate is mad on wis*a's. She phoned me all excited the other day to say she got some from Wool*orths. Hope this helps all you Wis*a mad choccie lovers!!
  20. Hi, Was just wondering if any of you lived in or around Berkshire? I don't know how any of you were treaated once you had a DX, but my experience was quite poor. We had DX, then DR said that's it now you're on your own. Not knowing anything about AS i found this really hard, finally got put on a 4 week course, but this was just for info on what AS is and how it fits onto the spectrum. This was great in itself as enabled me to explain to others about his condition, however for everyday life on how to handle my son there was nothing. Any websites i looked at pretty much told me the same thing as what the course had. It has got to the point now where i can't keep burying my head under the carpet anymore hoping that i can carry on as before because i know in my heart of hearts i can't. It's not good for DS, me or the family. Anyway back to the point, i just wanted to get in touch with people in this area who can share there experiences or advice on where to go fo help. If it wasn't for this site i would probably have gone mad by now! I don't know if this is against forum rules as such so sorry moderators if it is! Please feel free to PM if you prefer......really don't mind, just looking for some advice....thanks xx

    Homework

    I just had to share my good news with you all, especially after i replied on another thread about DS issues with homework! He got ready for school this morning with no fuss whatsoever (relief in itself!) so he asked if he could watch tv. As he had done as his told i agreed. I carried on pottering about in the kitchen when DS walks in (assuming he was asking me to put in the pin number for the channel) with his maths homework and said he was going to try his homework first. Still shocked from the comment, 5 mins later he walks in with his completed homework all correctly and neatly done. I didn't know whether to cry or pick myself up from the floor! I was soooooo happy with him because homework has always been such an issue. one happy mummy today!
  22. Hi, I think i am being a bit of a div, but was wondering if somebody could clear something up for me please? I have been reading some posta about 1-2-1 help/statements ect and what level they receive. My Ds receives 11 hours 1-2-1 a week, however i have never received a document detailing his statement needs as such. Surely if he is receiving 1-2-1 he would be statemented would he not?? Do you know how or where i can find out about this please. I just feel my son needs a little more, or maybe that is just my maternal instinct kicking in. I just don't know where to turn as no-one seems to want to know around here. thank you to any1 who takes the time to read! xx
