Please pop in and have fun xx
Anything you like- be kind :-) xx

Just to start, I've recently been moved on from working mostly with people with dementia, to adults with learning disabilities... I wasn't sure I would feel comfortable here... but, I just love them, kind of wish I had done this years ago x

A friend of mine worked helping adults learn to read. Dire (amusing) consequences in one case.
She taught one woman to read as a surprise for her family. Was done quite secretly. Wife then read a letter her husband left around. It was a rather passionate and explicit letter from his girlfriend. Husband then blamed my friend for the break up of his marriage saying that 'everything was perfect until his wife learnt to read so why did she have to interfere'. Or words to that effect.

Lol!

Lol! Red-handed... !

Hi Pixie. Is this an open all hours house of merriment?
Lol Lady J.

[lady-janine]

I know the consequences were serious as children were involved but I must admit initial reaction for both my friend and myself when she told me was to laugh.

[pixie374]

Absolutely, MissT- whatever, whenever you like :-) xx

[MissTerious2]

Do we get refreshments?

[pixie374]

I have some leftover mince pies, almost in date, that nobody wants...? You're welcome :-). Even some custards- and 17 avocados due to a misunderstanding with online asda lol xx

[pixie374]

Rock hard, mind you- but may be worth a squeeze at 3:23 am next Tuesday?

I've got chocolate...I might share it...but then again...

Did anyone see Chris Packam's BBC program last night? It was about autism and how he encouraged 2 young people to make films about their personal experiences. Very enlightening and moving.

[MissTerious2]

I love avocados!! I fill mine with sweet cure pickled herrings. Another favourite of mine.

[pixie374]

Please help yourself, MissT- do you have a chainsaw? X
Sounds interesting, prudie.... my youngest, and 2 nephews are autistic... but I don't have normal TV, so will have to look elsewhere (I'll let you off the chocolate, as you are a nice person) :-)

[pastafreak]

I'll take some avocados please...MissT can't have all of them!

[MissTerious2]

But I don't like custard!!

I'll be back later. I've got a new cleaner coming so making sure the loos are clean before she arrives!!

[pixie374]

Pasta! Not prudie... but same message x

[pixie374]

Well, it wasn't essential, MissT lol... go and clean your house before the cleaners arrive... pasta will steal the avocados though....

[Prudie]

Well as I got a mention I'll join in :-) By sweet cured pickled herrings do you mean roll mops MissT? If so I love roll mops. My husband thinks they are probably the most disgusting foodstuff ever after bananas.
I feel a bit guilty to say I put half a box of in date Thornton's chocs in the food bin last week. I was just sick of the box lying around from Xmas.

Granddaughter makes a desert with avocado and vegan chocolate delicious

[pixie374]

I have never known what a rollmop actually is :-)
I'll take your word, cal, for avocado with chocolate... but, not that convinced! Lol
