Hence why I vote first thing in the morning, even when I was working....I just left a little earlier.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.

I couldn't work out why they weren't talking about cricket on the one that I was watching...Please stay safe in the sun and learn the A-E of melanoma: A = asymmetry, B = irregular borders, C= different colours, D= diameter, larger than 6mm, E = evolving, is your mole changing? Most moles are not cancerous, any doubts, please check next time you visit your GP.

Rioting disgruntled would-be voters - they're blocking ballot boxes from reaching the count in Sheffield.
Suggestions of some sort of re-election if people were queueing before 10, didn't get to vote and the majority is down to a few hundred!
Oop 'ere in't North there's now plenty of reports (radio / TV) of "hundreds" prevented from voting in Newcastle.
This night is turning into a complete b0ll0x for exit polls if voters in city after city couldn't even manage their own entrance poll.
I think I'll stay up for this now. It could be some sort of unexpected history, after all. . .

Oh yes....but not quite so bad.
I had to queue this morning for the first time ever, as did a friend in Basingstoke and my parents at a different polling station to me....we've never experienced that before.We made it!

Ye Gods, viva. History is being made, then.
* Just to update from whatever the hell's happened at Newcastle, reports are saying no, this is not a case of people turning up with only a few minutes to spare. Some appear to have arrived as early as 9pm / 9.15pm.0 -

Are you anywhere near Tatton (it's just been on Sky)? I love Tatton Park. Excellent food in their restaurant - much better than you normally get in such places.

Maybe the polls should be open for 24hours?0

The final turnout will be very interesting - give or take a few percent to take account of the ones who didn't get in.0
