    NDG! Lovely to see you back here again

    Last day of our holiday today, been a good one this year although the weather could have been a bit better for the first part of it. Could well be the last year here as mum and dad are planning on giving up the caravan at the end of the season.
    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.

    It's a curious idea. I found it due to zag being requested to provide one of the lesser used letters of the alphabet as an initial.

    In Aus the checkout chick (a unisex phrase) packs your bags for you but is generally happy to deal with your packing foibles. I always forget that you have to pack your own bags when I go to Europe now. I stand there wondering what the person at the till is doing as my groceries whizz through and stand unpacked at the other side. Then I remember the horror of having to pack groceries myself.

    Having said that, 10p a kg for spuds in Tesco was a lot better than £2/kg over here!!! And you can buy booze in the supermarket in England, in Aus you have to go to a separate bottlo.

    I am often the V over on the alphabetty thread, mostly because there aren't many Vs who are regularly online. Zag is always the Z since Zennith got PPRd.

    It is totally silly and v different from here, but fun. I think Zag may have asked me to post there originally. They've been stuck on G a few times, so don't be surprised if you get asked again. It's a bit like the Hotel California in that respect. It's a good opportunity to meet other regulars from different parts of the forum though. Plus they are all as mad as cheese.

    They always get stuck on X.

    Which is by far the best thing about that thread.

    It's strangely addictive though.

    Tell me about it!:o
    I've been in this since before I knew about the NPs or most other threads I frequent.

    BTW just crossed London at lightning speed by car, as it's empty tonight. If you're looking to film a disaster movie, tonight's the night!

    Some bits of the US and Canada are like that. Thinks it's also the way some Scandiwegian places work.

    Apparently they also leak financial data for talktalk. No idea how many of my accounts and credit cards they have details of.
