Ooh Infi! As in the other thread, that is nasty.
Of interest to me though is that I might have angioedema!

Dunno, but looking for somethig to explain every time I break the skin I get swelling and itching. Cuts from sticks, Diz, scissors etc. Ouch. Then puffy and itchy like buggery. Goes down in about an hour.

Today, my irritants:
I checked the menu for school lunch today. I can't afford it every day so I pick and choose.
Chicken burger, cheese and tomato pizza, veggie pasta bake.
I was up mostly for the pasta bake, but knew I could decide at the counter.

NOPE.
Sausage, mash and mixed sweetcorn and broccoli (veggie sausages available).
WTF?!
Where is the choice?
Where is the ability to select?
Apart from that they have an odd kind of sausage that looks boiled not grilled. And it comes in a greasy gravy. I would think some childer went home after only having a few mouthfuls.

In future I will take non-perishable food (tin of soup etc) so I can reject the hot lunch if I want to. I do resent spending £2.40 on it though.

FTR our food is provided by another school and only served here. This is the first time something like this has happened, so something had obviously gone badly wrong in the kitchens of the other school. Doesn't stop me resenting it though

The other is that I can't find a specialist program for working through social stories.
It was supposed to be on the system. It's not.
A copy of the CD was supposed to be in the Topic Room. It's not.
Other programs supposed to be in the Topic Room are in fact in another place. I found them. This CD is not with them.

There are about 30 children in the whole school that this might be useful for - in varying degrees. One of them is Tiger, to the extent that he was in mind when it was purchased. It's not going to do him any good where it is.
I can't say more, but it's difficult to escalate. Also there is no-one I can ask to find it for me as no-one presently in school will know any more than I do and I have reached a dead end. So it just has to be a frustration for now.

At least it's not one which makes me physically itch though.
