Had a bit of a day, a massive arguement in a carpark, but then everything was ok, sort of, when someone's still pissed off with you, but things are better.

Ohh yes, in other news, I received delivery of a grounding mat... anyone else used one? Or grounding sheets?

What's a grounding mat?

It's supposed to.... "enhance the depth and length of sleep, reduce pain, and reduce stress. One of the first studies on this came out in 2004 and found that grounding improved sleep and reduced cortisol levels, a stress hormone."

Hoping it will help my arthritis knee pain, & everyday leg pain from being on my feet all day

He doesn't speak, can tell he understands a lot more than he lets on but to all intent and purposes you can't talk to him either, however leave him near a remote control and he's figured it out in minutes. He can jump between apps and find programs he wants, he loves whales for some reason. Leave your phone lying around and he'll face unlock it slyly then run off to play with it, he's great with all technology TBH, it's quite scary.

This all does of course point to a probable diagnosis but he's only 3, and our system can take a while to identify issues. It is what it is, he's a happy child which I feel matters most.

If I'd have lived nearby he could have earned himself some extra pocket money working my phone and laptop for me (or sit him in my car to play with my dashboard displays for me , you need to be good at technology to get into the computerised handbook to see how everything works :rolleyes:. He'd soon be discovering the obvious things that I've yet to find after 4 months!)

Years ago we bought a Megadrive from Dixons in Rugeley. Took 4 consoles back to the shop as each one "wasn't working''. Final time in desperation we drove to my bosses house with the latest replacement instead , picked up his 7 year old son and took him to our house to see if he could set it up successfully........ he just rammed the game into the slot harder for us and it worked. :embarrass:🤣



Sounds Eric and the dogs have a great understanding of each other 😍

I think this is the only reason we have kids, & grand kids, ...to do the *technology.

* I do jest...I'm the main technology expert in this house, the carer & minime claim to know nothing about anything... 7 year old grandson on the other hand could probably rewire the whole house, consoles, techno etc in 5 mins

Had a kitchen Spring clean/ sort out today.

Emptied every single cupboard and drawer, cleaned it, sorted out what was surplus to requirements and put the stuff back in.

I did ponder the eternal crumb mystery. If you take a clean item out of cupboard drawer, then put a clean item back, how do the crumbs get in?

I did that today as well.(Took longer than expected though as , with hubby being told by doc yesterday that he's seriously got to watch his sugar levels, been reading the packaging on everything as well. )

Amazing how many bits of food were in one of mine as well. I blame hubby having food on his hands when he's gone to get something out......

Rather therapeutic and a lovely feeling having a good sort out .
