    Thank you all for the birthday wishes. We had a lovely Carvery lunch, then dessert and coffee. After we got home we had to wait some time before we had room for a cup of tea :D

    GDB So glad the wedding went well. Our DD married a very nice banker too. He's currently a student nurse.....poorer but happier.

    Pastures New Do you think your Dad would have minded being cremated in shorts? I expect your Mum minded the idea of it though :(

    Doozergirl This is an 11+ area too, and our DGS is in year 5 at a State primary; he gets quite a bit of homework, which doesn't take him long to do once he actually starts doing it, but he wastes a lot of time procrastinating, and his parents dread what he'll be like once he gets to senior school and really has a lot!

    Of course, I won't throw my trousers out. After all, they'll scarcely be worn.
    No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?

    I've just finished 'my' homework on comparative creation myths which came complete with a mark scheme in the question. I struggle to think how I will manage to do all the homework once all three are at secondary school.
    I think....

    You jest. I have a friend with 3 at university who struggles to keep up with their assignments. Another friend acts as the alarm for her daughter at uni 200 miles away!

    At least she is getting a well rounded education.

    So, I'm about to get the first of two tender documents written, having just spent 15 hours in the office and 2 commuting.

    Praying I don't fall asleep, as every second is counting at the moment!

    I'd be thinking less about the power of prayer and more about the power of coffee!

    Happy Birthday Ivy xx
    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.
