    My beloved dog dog died this year.

    Really sorry to hear it. She always sounded like a brilliant dog.

    Well, this is an experience.

    After not sleeping all night last night, I slept between 9am-12.45pm.

    Came home at about 11pm this evening, fell asleep and woke up at 2.20am. Here I am.

    It's ridiculous that my body would rather fight me about the time than sleep!

    My body is craving rest but it still decided to wake me up at stupid o clock this morning....after finally being able to go to sleep at an equally stupid o clock time.

    Brain is going at 100mph at the moment and I don't seem to be able to fill it with enough stuff to make it slow down or distract it.
    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.

    Relieved to "see" you Pyxis! Sorry you've been a poorly girl. I think they were thinking of sending out a search party from the Arms :eek:

    Sorry! Had no energy to even log on and hover!

    I think I'm on the mend now.

    Thank you so much for caring. That means a lot, you know. :A xxxx

    Mine is a band A property despite being a 3 bed semi. Think it is because at the time of valuations these houses were worth less than the value of a 1 bed house due to being unmortgageable.

    Still can't get a mortgage on these houses as they are of non standard construction (pre fab) and were only designed to be a temporary measure to ease the post war shortage. The only recent sale was about 10 or so years ago, cash purchase for a third of the normal price of a 3 bed semi, he was a builder so he painstakingly replaced the concrete slabs with bricks whilst living in it and was then able to sell it to someone who needed a mortgage.

    If that's a genuine just-post war prefab, it's a desirable antique! Probably quite fashionable! Some have now become listed buildings, you know!

    Doesn't work for me with tools!

    I'm on holibobs but suffering from a week camping without interweb, so having a nice binge from the comfort of a real bed.

    My favourite picture so far, taken by Doozer. The scenery here is breathtaking. Forgiving on any photographer. Just shot on an iPhone.

    That photo is amazing! :j

    It would make a great poster!

    Do put it on the "favourite photos you have taken" thread. It's in the Arms.
