    I haven't had a holiday since a week in a cheapo flat in England with my sister in 1995.

    .

    I thought you were, as we speak, on holiday in Cornwall?

    Are you on holiday in London? London's a holiday destination.

    I went to see family, I was ill and stayed in.

    They're expensive if you're travelling alone - and once you get there it can be boring alone, or even risky. I don't speak to strangers - and only loons seem to attach themselves to me (usually dodgy fat blokes who think they'll get a quickie).

    So this year's no different: no holiday for me.

    You need to do holidays dmg24 style! I'm off to Marrakech on the 12th, three nights hotel + flights for £120 ... and that's expensive for me! ;)

    My holiday plans are not changing this year, I always try to have at least three holidays (2006 had five, 2007 four). I've already booked for Marrakech twice, plan to go to New York and Washington later in the year (exchange rate dependent!), and I quite fancy Budapest too. If I've got any time left, I'll nip over for the German Christmas markets!
    Gone ... or have I?

    How come that's so cheap? Not sure where it is.
    Is that PLUS flights? or including them?
    What's the total cost door-to-door-return?

    I'm quite amazed how many holidays some people have, lucky people!
    I hope none are on credit? - of course not :D

    I've just had a night of that, meals arrived on the table, no washing done and dad got annoyed with the children.

    Bed was horrid though, will be bliss to get back to my harder matress tonight, I was in agony all blooming night as it was not at all supportive for my spine.

    Oh and mum was trying to treat me like I was 12 again....I can make a cup of tea mum!
    We made it! All three boys have graduated, it's been hard work but it shows there is a possibility of a chance of normal (ish) life after a diagnosis (or two) of ASD. It's not been the easiest route but I am so glad I ignored everything and everyone and did my own therapies with them.
    Eldests' EDS diagnosis 4.5.10, mine 13.1.11 eekk - now having fun and games as a wheelchair user.
