    I know I should go......but it is so compulsive, it's numbers and I am obsessive about numbers.
    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.

    Apparently, according to Ed Miliband we've all voted for electoral reform in this election. I didn't know I was voting for that, did you? Was that in the Labour manifesto? Were all the Labour ministers talking about this over the last few weeks?

    They probably think 'being honest' (cough) doesn't matter now. It'd very quickly be back to doing what they want and sod any manifesto.

    It's words that turn me on - provided they're backed by actions.

    Am I on my own now? Where are all these all night stalwarts?

    As far as the election goes, it seems that behind the scenes the plotting around a potential hung parliament is already taking place.

    I've been taking a peep at the BBC coverage. But it's time to turn over... they seem to thing Bill Wyman is a worthy political commentator. :(

    Still here, taking in the results which are still ridiculously mixed, how did Lib Dems win Burnley, while Tories won Carlisle yet Labour held the narrow majority in Rochdale? Baffling.

    I think I might hit the sack soon. Nothing's going to become clear for a while longer.

    A hung parliament might be a good idea, given what any incoming govt is going to have to address. At least no one party would be held accountable for the state of our economy and derided for the stringent approach that will be needed to sort it all out.

    Though, isn't it the case that a coalition wouldn't be likely to last very long?
