  1. Well I am still as confused as ever. It wasn't for school funding. He would qualify for help from other diagnoses. And the paediatrician is well awear that he is being homeschooled and cannot access school funding. Side note. Here in Australia a paediatrician is a specilest doctor. Not many children see one and they need a referral from a GP to see one. This letter was the letter backto the GP. But the paediatricians office sent a copy to me by request as I needed a copy for the NDIS
  2. Ok. this letter was from the peadiatrician to the GP. so I am guessing Medical perspective. I needed a copy of it to show diagnoses for NDIS funding for Podiatry because of his Bilateral Telipies. it had a list of 9 of his diagnoses and I was unsure what this one means, NDIS is National Disability Insurance Scheme. He has funding from it because of his Intellectual Disability - it funds things like speech pathology, some Psychology, and Occupational Therapy. but I am unable to find an Occupational Therapist at the moment
  3. I would leave it, but hang something on it like a huge tapestry or a quilt to break it up a bit
  4. I have a letter from the peadiatrician that has a list of diagnoses for twin 1 one of these says Oppositional Defiance Disorder with conduct issues emerging as Severe Behavioural Disorder My question I already know about the Oppositional Defiance Disorder. (We deal with it every day), but what does it mean emerging as Severe Behavioural Disorder? I thought Oppositional Defiance Disorder was a type of Behavioural Disorder does it mean it is getting or will get worse? OR is it just what the diagnoses turns into as a child gets older, like Multiple Developmental Delays turns into Intellectual Disabilities once a child turns 7? thank you for your valued advice
  5. my primary association is staying at my grandmother's when I was little and having marmalade on toast for breakfast. to me it is linked to my grandmother firmly
  6. All of them are preserves it has all to do with how the fruit is used. just about all of them have equal amounts of fruit to sugar if the fruit is in very small pieces it is called a jam , if it is in large pieces it is called a conserve if the fruit is strained it is called a jelly. it will be clear with a consistency of jello if citrus is used it is called marmalade Of course Australians, who love to simplify everything call it all jam except we still keep the name marmalade for stuff made from citrus.
  7. Ok, thank you I will have to try it sometime
  8. well it took me a long time to work out that the jelly you guys refer to is JAM. I was always imagining Jello - what we call jelly, made with jelly crystals and couldn't work out how it could be eaten in a sandwich without a huge mess
  9. like a Burrito ?? I just googled and see that the wrap part is the tortilla! boy I must come across as completely stupid.
  10. thank you for the work that you do. you are a hero Hugs
  11. I goggled. I am such a boring cook that I don't even know what a tortilla is 😞
  12. Oh no, please don't feel bad about me starting talking about colour of veggies. I was only mentioning what I do. I think what you are serving sounds smashing. I didn't mention anything about the quesadillas because I don't know what they are. I don't even know how to say it
  13. it has broken out in the nursing home that my MIL lives in in Canada. She is 98, will be 99 in a few weeks. she is extremely frail DH is sad he will not be able to see her again. with the borders closed and the astronomical airfare at the moment.
  14. Years ago my father mangled his finger in a work place accident it, it went through the chain digging part of a trench digger. It had to be reconstructed. He wore a metal brace over it for quite a while. It was a thin flat bit of metal about the width of 3 fingers. It hooked over his fingers and went back to his wrist on the outside of his hand. It had a very thin layer of foam on the inside. The hook over part went down as long as his fingers and didn't restrict wrist movement.
  15. Well Canadian Dh calls it red cabbage. And complains that I don't cook it as well as his mother. She apparently could get it to go red. I use her German recipe and always end up still purple. I asked her once and she said sometimes she would add jelly crystals to get the 'right' colour
  16. We mostly eat what we grow ourselves. The purple veggies I grow are beetroot, purple cabbage and some purple carrots. Last winter I also tried purple broccoli. I can only grow broccoli in the late autumn and winter (too many catapillers the rest of the year) We also grow some lettuce that has a reddish, purple colour, but I count it as a green We also grow blueberries. They are an extra.
  17. I make over half of the plate vegetables. 5 or more vegetables is preferred, but sometimes it is less. I try to have 3 different colors. purple is desirable for the antioxidants. I have one type of meat the size of the palm of the hand of the person who is eating it. And one grain or starch , like rice or potatoes. example. tonight we had beef sausages, fresh garden salad, boiled beetroot, carrots, mushrooms, zucchini and onions, cherry tomatoes and potato yesterday we had chicken, sweet potato, fresh green beans, red cabbage, carrots, cucumber and potato milk is consumed at snack time and after eating dinner if someone is still hungry.
  18. https://www.eatforhealth.gov.au/guidelines/australian-guide-healthy-eating I have magnet version of this on the fridge.
  19. I freeze pies all the Time On autumn I turn most of the apples from the orchard into pies and crumbles. I freeze them to eat for the rest of the year.
  20. And only citizens and permanent residence people are allowed in. Plus a few from NZ Not partner visa holders, or relatives. The media is reporting that there is a up to 6 months backlog of citizens wanting to return
  21. DH can understand German, but is very slow at speaking as his parents are German and spoke it at home, but dh hasn't practice for many years. Good to know about the credit card. Thank you
