I doubt your MP will be too worried!

<t>I agree you have to be very careful what you say. Our eldest grandson (6) has Aspergers and takes everything very literally, this causes quite a few problems especially at school! He also has an excellent memory and will quote word for word something he has overheard even months down the line. Th...

<t>I am quite happy to be at home as long as I am free to do my hobbies. I am not a great one for socialising and have always disliked taking a holiday, even as a young person! My children are more than willing to keep an eye on my husband and son if I wanted a day out, not that I do. This afternoon...

Reading other people's posts I realise just how fortunate I am.

Sarniajoy, I think Joy means if her OH hadn't have become her "caree", then she wouldn't be doing half of what she does. She'd let him do it. Me too. But I became a motor mechanic, plumber, electrician, gardener, painter and decorator as well as nurse, cook, cleaner etc etc. when my OH couldn't do ...

O.K. Let's find a bit of positive thinking here! There has to be some thing we can feel cheerful about. Today I did some gardening - wouldn't have been able to do that before. Many of us could try growing a few flowers or veggies. Then theres the career change without having to submit a lying C.V. ...
