Where was that fabbo clock again. Want one!

[StarlightMcKenzie]

Please!

the one with the minutes past on the clock and the fab hands with shapes on the end.

Different roads to learning, I think silver frog said it's cheaper if you order from manufacturer. I am still trying to work out how to do that as dh off to states soon for work and I can avoid paying customs if I order it to his hotel address (smile).

[StarlightMcKenzie]

Does he take orders? I'm looking for 2.

[someoneoutthere]

It will cost you more than the clock on postage money if I am to send it to you from the U.A.E .

[StarlightMcKenzie]

LOL, oh well. Worth a try!

Thanks for replying though.

Hey Starlight. The manufacturer is SilverliningMultimedia www.silverliningmm.com.

They quoted me $12 to ship direct from the US, so total cost is $42 (about £30?).

No distributors in the UK apparently.

[mrsbaffled]

Thanks for the info :) I was shocked how expensive the postage was when I looked! $42 is much more reasonable.

I took a cheap Ikea clock apart and made new hands with laminated card in two colours, I left the second hand off. It does lose a bit of time now but I correct it every morning.

I also coloured it for morning, afternoon and evening, thank you to the poster that mentioned this a while back. It is fab and ds can now understand when I say this afternoon! and is beginning to understand time concepts (all fingers crossed)

[StarlightMcKenzie]

LOL, it was probably me!

This clock is.....special. It is the grade up from the Lingle Clock.

Have you seen it?

[Bluesunbeam]

Yes (I think) but beyond our finances! Hoping we're talking about the clock with the circles on the end of the hands?

The one I have made looks pretty similar, except for my colouring!, and was a pain to make but seems to do the trick as long as I remember to check the time and adjust!

Ds can now see the hour and is beginning to pick up the minutes but it is oh so slow!

I defaced a tesco value clock to show morning, afternoon and evening - but I think I was lucky, DS "got" that which had been eluding him in about 6 weeks - I've said before how impressed I was with moondog's whole calender idea. Combined with a visual timetable it's really helped anxiety levels. If we'd needed it for longer I would deffo have invested!

As it is he now has a sense of time as it progresses through the day and we are working on telling the time with a new non abused tesco value clock.

We are 4 months into working on the calender part and progress is coming, though it's taking longer.
