I can't seem to get that programme to play on radio player

New Thread

Nice Penguin!
New thread imminent.

So did we all listen to the programme on Radio Four about fanfiction that was on the other day? When Harry Potter met Frodo

Yay at all you returning HPers!

Evil, I've been returning to HP fic again lately. I had forgotten how much I love it.

Probably only needed the one 'hairy' but still.

Can only blame extreme knackeredness dealing with extremely jetlagged Chick, who believes it entirely reasonable merely to nap over night and save the long periods of silent restful sleep for the nanny.

Sorry loads of you are having tough times

Neon - will pm you the link to that book the others had. it covers how to handle ocd type behaviour and how to break the cycle. it was really helpful with some of ds' ocd quirks.

Exp is indeed helping. he has decided I am not deluded and misguided about this and that perhaps there might be some truth in my thoughts always nice to know. He is being allowed the full excruiating experience of dealing with people. because he wants to and I am really pissed off with the system and might tell them where they can shove their policy and proceedures. Which is proving helpful on keeping stress down here. Otoh I am also fed up with his constant involvement and being in contact. It's a no win situation but hey ho.

Same author had another story that have just finished reading if you want link? SHe has a lot of little fluff in her back catalogue if you have a look. she does the fic daily prompt thing so they are a lot of shorteasy to read stuff.

Oops, sorry. I obviously just looked at the first letter of the name. Probably sounds worse than it was! I dithered over a referral - it's generally low-level anxiety stuff, but OCD-type behaviours beginning to appear so hoping to nip it in the bud assuming CAMHS are halfway decent.

oh dear, Neon (although I think you meant Never!), that does sound like a lot of drama. Hope CAMHS come through and can help.

Nah, you didn't miss much Omi. Fire at school, everyone sent home. Cue much hysteria from melodramatic young teenagers. Fed DD's anxiety ishoos (hence aforementioned CAMHS referral) though. Fire is one of her 'things'. I'm hoping this is a good thing though, for her to see she can cope with a crisis, that nobody died.

Oh, I've seen that before, Tewi. Great stuff.

Did you ever watch (online only) Comedians in the cars getting coffee, where Jerry Seinfeld takes comedians out for a spin in a car and they go for coffee? Most of them are very funny, but the one with Ricky Gervais is cringeworthy - it's a real culture clash. There's an exchange about the death penalty and abortion which just left me .

I obviously missed something, Neon. Drama? Fire? What?

Am off to make a hot poitín for the lurgy. Bloody germ-ridden DCs

I had a good day too. Weirdly enough.

There is a very funny old Jewish men telling Jokes program on bbc4 right now which always helps!

Non-sucky stuff ... umm ... err ... oh! There wasn't a real, actual fire at DD's school today. Don't think I could have coped again after yesterday's drama!

Hooray for Omi's talking DS!!

Boo for tilly's earachey DS.

Yay for DS \o/.

If we're sharing non-sucky, no-one shouted at me today in work, so that was nice

On the non-sucky side of life, DS is still talking lots, and DH is being lovely, and I am slowly sorting my life out.

Evening, sluts. Usual, sucky RL stuff continues for everyone apparently. I'm just in from another parent teacher meeting and I think I'm brewing a respiratory infection. I will be most upset if I am on antibiotics for DH's free-bar, free-hotel-for-a-night Xmas party next week (like I have been for the last 3 of them )

<waves at Dream and Omi, punches Bitchy supportively on the shoulder, hands Calpol to Tilly and sneaks a look over Evil's shoulder at what she's writing>

Hi, Dream!

Bitchy, hope ex can help with school, it must be maddening to have them not listening to you. Hopefully both of you speaking to them will help.

Hope you get a reasonable night's sleep, Tilly, waking up is never fun.

Howdy, Dream/

Tilly, hope DS2 feels better soon.

Bitchy,

Hey Dream, how's you?

Bitchy, sounds v stressful with the school, I gather exh is helping out a bit atm? Thanks for the Embrace rec, v enjoyable read!

Ds2 has earache, he's woken up twice already, it's going to be a long night

<waves>

I am not speaking to school atm. There is no point. they insist there is nothing wrong. I just want ds to flip out in school just once. so they can see what the hell it is that i am talking about. But he won't and they keep insisting. But i will speak to the ex about it. He is dealing with school.

I did type it up thinking 'we never went into this much depth in school'. It sounds like maybe a social story might help? It would need to be shared with school, but might be worth a shot?
