    Doozer sympathies. Just been away for the weekend in Copenhagen. No great time change but woken up every night by car horns on busy road outside. Wasn't impressed.

    I've even started reading the relationships board. We all know that's bad move. You guys should have stopped me.

    If I head for the pets board, please put me down :o

    I'm already past you on that one, got bored one night a while ago and started reading BOTH of those boards!

    The relationship board made me feel well adjusted, the pet board made me want to have a dog.
    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.

    I've always wanted to visit Scandinavia. But I'd always imagined that Copenhagen was lot like Amsterdam (ie full of bicycles). Or electric cars or trams or stuff like that.

    I'm watching The Three Day Nanny.

    Never seen it before but it looks like the new Suppernanny.

    This poor woman has FOUR children under THREE if you can imagine it's physically possible. Triplets and a smaller one. And her marriage broke down so she's by herself.

    I can't imagine that being anything less than a constant nightmare :o I'd rather herd cats.

    DS has had a dream of skydiving for his 16th birthday.

    I don't know how many parents are keen to chucking their kids out of a plane, but I am becoming resigned to it. His friend's parents have said yes, my friends' son is a skydiving instructor and he managed to tell them so they've encouraged it, having done it themselves, and we've been indoor skydiving a few times now. Doozer is not very happy but despite not being keen to do it myself, the reality is that it is quite safe and I'd rather him practice being an adrenaline junkie within boundaries.

    I don't think afternoon tea at Claridges is going to cut it, somehow.

    I've never parachuted (I've worn a parachute when going up in a glider). I've been a secretary for a parachute society, to help some friends get the club started.

    It's very much safer than gliding I believe. I just don't get it though.:o
