    Today went very well for James...

    12.30pm - A bundle of nerves with slightly damp hair from the rain.

    7pm - A very excited and relaxed James ringing me just after having celebratory drinks with the bigwigs after passing today's stage.
    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.

    Great news! Well done James!
    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.

    Well done James. What comes next?
    Do you know anyone who's bereaved? Point them to https://www.AtaLoss.org which does for bereavement support what MSE does for financial services, providing links to support organisations relevant to the circumstances of the loss & the local area. (Link permitted by forum team)
    Tyre performance in the wet deteriorates rapidly below about 3mm tread - change yours when they get dangerous, not just when they are nearly illegal (1.6mm).
    Oh, and wear your seatbelt. My kids are only alive because they were wearing theirs when somebody else was driving in wet weather with worn tyres.

    A phone call with the details for the final interview. No matter what happens, over 2000 applied and he has got down to the last few which has done his confidence the world of good.

    Well done James!
    Goodness, it sounds as long-winded as the process our grown-up DGS went through last year for a big company. We started wondering how many more interviews he'd have to go through! He got the job in the end, and I hope James will too :)

    Pastures So :eek: and :mad: to read the furry news.

    Re. the furry, Pastures, you could always channel it towards the doofers! :D:D:D

    If they think there are furries in the open space, they might not want to play out there! :D

    If you see a man passing wearing a harlequin suit and carrying a small pipe I suggest you engage him to deal with the furry problem and then refuse to pay him....2 birds, 1 stone :)
    I think....
