    Loved those NDG. We have orange (ADR) books which are exactly like white books.

    Corporate gifts rarely appear, occasionally we get a bottle of wine at Christmas. Having said that in the last two years I have been truck racing and to Lyons ( which was more of an endurance test given the schedule, than a jolly).

    A friend of mine had a makeover from one of those programmes years ago......they only painted the half of the room which was being filmed!

    So on television, it looked amazing, up close and personal though it looked bloody awful.
    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.

    Brits = middle-aged white people music
    Pharrell = always makes me jealous that Kelis picked him rather than me back in the day (I have never met Kelis and only really liked her first album but even still...)
    I think....

    Oh boy do I feel sorry for myself. I didn't even have the energy to concentrate on the thread to read it last night, you've been busy! Something to catch up on.

    I was hallucinating last night, I'm so tired. I can't sleep for more than an hour, if I'm lucky. I have to sleep with my mouth shut so its kept moist, face pointing down so saliva doesn't run down my throat and choke me before I'm ready to swallow, plus there is something happening inside my soft pallet that moves and randomly but entirely stops me from breathing out through my nose. It's terrifying when it happens.

    I'd woken dozens of times between 9pm-12:30am. The pain is kind of bearable, getting gradually more spaced out is not. :cry:

    What does the doc say doozer? I know there's the temptation to think it's only a virus, but if it's stopping you breathing. Sorry, just remembered tonsils.. doh! Probably still worth asking. Hope you feel better soon.
    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.

    Bloody hell. That sounds horrible.

    Is your nose cold and wet? Oh hang on, no. I'm panicking here.

    See your doctor and keep going back until you get a diagnosis and something that will fix it. Not breathing is generally a pretty fatal symptom if left untreated. Don't be English about this. Sometimes it's good to be forthright, after all even if you're treated on the NHS you're still paying for the treatment, albeit indirectly.

    Rudimental were fab. That was my favourite performance of the night and she has got fab hair. In fact, I think its my favourite Brits performance since Dizzee Rascal and Florence and the Machine.

    2010. I was there. The cost of the table was extortionate (our two weeks in Egypt cost less than our two spaces) but I had the best night, apart from poisoning myself with champagne. You have to order beforehand, and I wasn't into waste. I couldn't touch alcohol for nine weeks afterwards and whenever anyone asked me how the night was, until recently, I felt sick.

    Robbie Williams did an extended set beyond the TV schedule which was awesome. I danced and danced and danced. H kissed Seasick Steve, Seasick Steve kissed him back :)

    I don't think I'm dying, although the hallucinations could spread to that if I don't get some decent sleep. :mad: Tonsils came out on Tuesday, the inside of my mouth is, quite literally, carnage. Something must be swollen and flapping. I may ask H to phone the ward when he comes home. I can't think what they'd do to help though.

    Family are being very sweet.
