    "tried to commit murder, but committed suicide instead"
    :)

    That's a good one - did they set a trap for someone else but walked into it themselves?

    Hi Lynn and welcome to the NPT. First, select the board that you want to post on. Then at the top of the page there should be a "New Thread" button to start a new thread.
    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.

    Countdown to normal life resuming...youngest back at college on Monday, Josh back to university next Sunday and James back to university the following Sunday.

    Youngest is seriously feeling the pressure, his own pressure I hasten to add. He has spent the whole summer holiday doing portfolio work and he is now very eek that it has come to the end of the holiday and he hasn't quite finished it. That sounds very bad on the face of it but when you consider that just part of his portfolio is what 3rd year uni students are doing for their dissertation project on his course of choice, it's not bad going (he saw what others were doing and wanted to go not just one better but several steps better!).

    He has spent 100 hours so far on that one bit of his portfolio (he has other stuff already completed) for what will probably be a 5 minute glance at by the universities he is applying to. No idea if the effort will be worth it educationally but for youngest, it means everything, he hates things half done, or doing just enough to get by.

    Oh to have his dedication....
    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.

    Spits in the wind here for a few minutes... think there will be more to come though!

    Edit - Just checked the radar, yep definitely more to come.

    And here. A bit blustery, too, and I'm feeling a bit cold. Need something on my arms for the first time in ages.

    I've just spent hours reading that thread about the House Sale from hell.
    Not done another thing today!
