We wanted to go to the pub for a bit on NYE to be amung other folk, but all the pubs wouldn't let you, you had to buy a ticket (about £20) so we stayed home (and saved the money we'd have spent in the pub!). I dunno if that's really great business sense for them to rule out people going for a drink or two...0

We went out to a party at a community centre, played loads of daft card games, had many a drink, got a little buffet and sang the new year in. It was fab
good mix of ages, good mix of people. Great! Will be doing it again next year.

Nope, I'm 34 and still enjoy a good night out.
Just not as often these days as I have better things to waste money on

We switched our Freesat over to BBC1 Scotland and watched the familiar (to us) Hogmanay coverage. Nothing strange or startling except the fantastic and long display of fireworks at Edinburgh Castle.
We got a shock though when we thought we saw a flippin great chip shop in Princes Street. We were mumbling on about how standards were slipping and how the area was going down the hill when we got a closer shot and realised it was a chip van parked up with big and well lit signage.
The poshness of Princes Street is intact.

I went out this time for the first time in over a decade!
Worked out cheaper for me as we usually see it in at my parent's house and the cost of a taxi back home is eyewatering plus I would buy food for the buffet..this time, a friend drove us to and from the pub and I spent the grand total of £12 all night.
It was a great night!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.0
