    You'd be able to guess me straight off... I would be the one looking incredibly stressed and quite possibly manic (note manic, not maniac), with kids hanging off me.

    Oh and arriving in a beaten up ancient Vauxhall estate.
    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.

    I was thinking of making then new study a library as well with book shelves down 2 walls but it seemed like an awful lot of space for a couple of kindles...

    Even zag's Cluedo has got rid of the library:(. Must be the cutbacks.

    Snap right up to the Vauxhall bit, ours is a Fiat and an MPV not an estate.

    And my car is white. If you are incredibly curious you could search the forum and work out what it is.

    Been invited out tonight, said "yes".... now regretting it. Venue is 1.5 miles away, but up a REALLY steep hill with no lights and no pavement and it's PEEEEEEING down with a horrible blustery gale and the plan is that we walk back.... not fancying that at all ... it'll be a 1.5 mile sodden tramp across bleak and exposed coastal paths.

    How do I get out of it?

    I have pale skin and burn and peel easily. OH is pale but catches the sun.

    After our holiday I bought a moisturiser that adds a touch of colour too.

    OH commented today that when we came home he was darker than me, now 12 days later his tan is starting to fade and mine seems to be getting darker.:rotfl: I think I may have to ease off.

    Go and enjoy yourself.

    If you must, take the car and limit your alcohol intake.
