    Nikkster! How lovely to hear from you! We have all been thinking of you over Christmas/New Year. So glad you're getting on all right ((HUGS))

    Re living in London - I'm in Bexley. No Tube here! But very thankful to have a "Boris bus pass", aka the Over 60s Oyster card.

    Hello, Nikki. Happy new year.
    No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?

    Some of the inhabitants of Bedford are a bit dodgy though!

    Do you live in B, by any chance? :D;)

    In fact I think my social life and levels of mischief increased :D .

    Lived in Uxbridge for a few years -probably didn't help that they weren't happy years for other reasons but I think it's a horrible place - soulless.

    Happy New Year NP! Hope it brings good times and things to you all :)

    I'm doing OK. Still working full time and don't really look too ill (more like I've got terrible ideas about eyebrows and hairstyles!). I got through chemo relatively easily - no horrendous side effects. In fact I think my social life and levels of mischief increased :D Surgery is likely to be next, but maybe not for a few months. Currently trying to adjust to living with this and being aware of possible changes but not paranoid, and also working out how far ahead I can plan things eg travel in.

    Happy New Year, lovely.

    Buy the shoes, drink the wine, order dessert. And make mischief :)

    Lovely to see you. :hello:
    Happy New Year! Hope it brings you lots of good news and positive things.

    Glad you are doing so well. Impressed that you are feeling well enough to work full time. :T

    Absolutely brilliant to see you Nikkster, made my day 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.

    Joe's first uni exam today, immediate results as soon as he finished. He was paranoid he would fail miserably as a) he is not great at exam stress/noises in exam halls/different to normal setting and b) it was in a programming language that less than 2 months ago he knew absolutely nothing about and was playing catch up to his peers with.

    He not only passed the exam but did so in great style.
