Back after half term and back into Farleigh!

This week, I felt ike I whish I was at home. On Monday, I went to college like a good lad and I did my day at college. Before my last lesson of the day, I asked mum if she sorted out  my room at Fourwinds and she texted me back "Hey groovy dude! You never guess what arrived at 4winds?" It was my brand new Groove It game I bought from eBay! Angela enjoyed playing Groove It when I played the one from home and after tea, we played a bit of groove it, and a bit of Abe.

On Tuesday morning when I woke up, I didn't enjoy eating my breakfast as crazy Ben was sitting at the table eating his breakfast. He was quiet though. After college, I did my Literacy and Numeracy lessons at the Learning Centre and then I went back to 4winds and played my electronic Millionaire game. It uses the old 15 questions format and we got up to the milion pound question which Dad didn't know the answer too (he was our phone a friend.) After playing millionaire, Angela and I went back upstairs and played som games upsatirs.

On Wednesday, I woke up and had breakfast again with Ben. It was a bit worse this day because he was more loud and he had his cocopops bowl near his mouth to drink up the milk. I didn't like it so I looked away when he was doing it. I did my 2 hour lesson at college and went back to 4winds and I had OT with Emma. I went bowling on the evening and I didn't enjoy it this week because Ben went. On the way back they were talking about Barnie and Ben was talking loud.

On Thursday, I was glad to get home again because I had to eat my breakfast with Ben again and he was talking loud again.

Mum and Dad had a meeting at Farleigh on Friday and they dicussed that I would go to Sainsbury's instead of ASDA to do my shopping as that's where mum buys our shopping from.

My last week at Farleigh

My last week at Farleigh was a good week, but I forgotten a few things on Monday. I forgot to pack my lunchbox and my phone was left in the car. Mum had to come all the way back from Bristol to give me my stuff. I didn't see mum when she gave my stuff back but luckily I didn't because I would have felt like going in her car and going back home.

On the evening, I went shopping and had Assuages, Mash and peas.I spent the rest of the evening with Angela and Bop It called us Dude lots!

On Tuesday, it was a calmer day. I woke up, had breakfast, went to college and then I went to the learning centre and I had my literacy and numeracy sessions there. When I went back to the residence, I have chicken, chips and peas. I took my Millionaire game downstairs and played it with Ross and we won £32,000. Later on after when Angela did the washing up and when Lean and then we all played Millionaire. James (one of the students) knew some of the French questions because his mum speaks French.

On Wednesday, it was quite and exciting day because when I looked up on the forums that evening, Wayne (aka: Javajolt) posted that the Windows 8 Consumer Preview will be available to download to on Feburary 29 as Microsoft are going to launch the Consumer Preview with anevent in Spain, Barcolena. I now have MSDN access at college which allows me to get free license keys for software such as Windows. I got a license key for my Mum's new computer which she will get after half term. I didn't go bowling that night because it was on at 9 till 10 and it was a bit late for me  But Angela had to go bowling so a Farleigh staff called Dawn looked after me instead. Dawn never played Bop It before so I showed her all my Bop It games. On Thursday, I was glad to go home. Mum picked me up from the base room, went back to Four Winds and packed a few clothes and went home. I am now enjoying a few days down in St  Ives and the Euwings are going to be living on our cottage when we go home on Tuesday. I'm hopefully will have a better term and hopefully Windows 8 will be nice and stable on my PC when I install it.

Another 2 weeks gone at Farleigh + a meeting on Friday

I had one good week and one not so good week at Farleigh. On my good week, I went in sensibly on the Monday morning and I enjoyed the week there but this week I wasn't really enjoying my time. I wasn't that keen on Ben but I had a good time bowling on Wednesday with Nath and James. On Wednesday Afternoon, I met Helen who is the deputy-principle at Farleigh and she is also their Speech & Language Therapist. After half term I'll be doing Speech & Language therapy where I will be chatting with 2 other students to practise my social skills. On Friday, I had a meeting at Farleigh and they decided that I should spend time with Ben as maybe it would help me to get to know him and I'll realise that he isn't' that bad.

Well It's my last week at Farlegh before half term and I'm really not looking forward to going back tomorrow.

What a Medicine week I had!

I felt really uncomfortable on Monday night as I had a nasty lump on my ear. I kept phoning my mum and she called someone at Farleigh to come and speak to me. After the staff member left, I manage to go back to sleep.

On Tuesday, I went to hospital and they gave me some antibiotics. It was some medicine. I started to take it on Saturday and the lump came up 2 days before the end of the course. I had a tough Maths lesson at the Learning Centre and my English lesson was much easier as I find Maths more difficult than English.

On Wednesday I catch the buss to college and the buss driver looked like Elvis! Ahah Ahah!

I had OT in the afternoon and me and Angela (Babber) went bowling and we had 2 games.


This week, I felt a bit sad. Maybe taking medicine  away from home might have been it. Monday night was better and I felt a bit worried on Wednesday because Ben's name was on for bowling but he didn't turn up. Phew. We also played 2 games and I came 3rd on the second game and I managed to get 2 spares!

I also have a challenge to do this term and I have to do my breakfast all by myself and if I do, I'll have a nice Dell laptop. Woo-hoo, but every day I now have to take a tablet (hatch) for a whole month. Muma mia!!

My first week back at Farleigh

I had a really good Christmas break. On Christmas Eve i was round with my Cherry Garden friends and on Christmas Day I was round Nanny's house. On New Year's Eve I was round Nanny's house and I went back to Farleigh on January 3rd.

I really struggled to go to bed on Monday. I didn't fancy going back to Farleigh because I know that on the evening Angela wasn't going to be there and I thought I would really struggle without Angela there. But I had Ross and she did me a nice tea and luckily Mum did me a roll for Wednesday so I didn't have to make one.

I slept alright on Tuesday night and I woke up, went downstairs and Jacqui did me breakfast. She couldn't find my butter so I had Farleigh butter instead which was ok. I had my 2 hour lesson at College, went back to the base room, had lunch and went back to Fourwinds at 1:15 and Jacqui took me back in the Farleigh dudey. I didn't have OT that afternoon and Angela came that evening and she was glad to be back and looking after me. I went bowling and I would have won if Mark didn't play.

On Thursday morning during breakfast I sat next to Louise and Ben. Louise is our house leader and I didn't like sitting near Ben because is he loud and he's a bit crazy sometimes. I was pleased to be home again and I now catch the 11:49 train instead of the 11:44 train which was 30 minutes late.

My last 2 weeks at Farleigh for the Year

I had a good week at Farleigh this week but last week I wasn't feeling well. I had a nasty cold. I went in fine Monday morning, managed to do some shopping but didn't feel like staying at Four Winds on the evening. Alley phoned up mum and asked her to come and get me. After tea, we went back home and I had a nice week at home. I was round Nanny and Pop's house alot as Mum had to go to work.

This week, everything was nice and smooth except from Monday morning when I didn't feel like going back. On Tuesday, I had Christmas dinner with all the other students. I didn't like the turkey as it was a bit thick but it was nice and tasty. On Wednesday, I won at bowling! I managed to beat Angela and I scored 95.

There are lots of nice things to look forward to next year. One of them is Windows 8! In Feburary, Microsoft will be releasing a pre-release feature complete build of Windows 8 known as the Windows 8 Beta. It will be released to the public which means that everyone is welcome to try it out on any PC that meets the minium system requirements.

After passing the Beta milestone, Microsft will release a newer build known as the Release Candidate which means that everything you will see in this build will appear in the final version but there still may be some software bugs that the Windows team haven't fixed yet. After that, Windows 8 will be released to manufacturing and the final build will be released to the genereal public.

There will also be a new Bop It game which will be revealed at the Toy Fair next year!

I wishh everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Ho Ho Ho!

Another week at Farleigh

On Monday, I went to college OK. After college, I went back to four winds, had a snack and went shopping with Petra as four winds was low on staff so Angela couldn't go shopping with me. Whilst I was shopping Angela made my tea and after tea we went upstairs and later on that evening we watched I'm a Celeb. There was a new cutscene which was a scorpion! When Angela saw it, it scared her! It was also that time again when Torx decides to start changing his pitch. We all knew that Torx was giving us an early warning that the batteries are running out.

Tuesday was even better! Angela was meant to be going out for a meal at Babberland but she had to stay at four winds because again, there were short on staff. I was very happy as she spent the evening we me and Torx managed to survive another evening. I also went to the learning centre and I did my literacy and numeracy sessions there.

On Wednesday afternoon, Torx ran out completely. He went extremely slow and Jacque and I couldn't play it in slow motion. Therefore, me and Angela changed the batteries and whilst I was eating my tea, Emma came back with my new Torx for home! I also went bowling. On the first game Angela scored 117 and on the second game she was called 'Babber' on the scoreboard and she didn't win. I did well. I had some spares.

I was looking forward to Thursday morning as it was time for me to come home again. Now I only got 2 weeks left at Farleigh and next Thursday it's gonna be my last train journey for the term.
