    I am also kind of OCD about some things and keep a daily record of both the weather and what my main meal has consisted of as well as weigh ins (not every day) and a daily summary of main events.


    I tried to stop from New Year's day 2013 but resumed at the end of July 2016, I have kept the records from 2010, so if you want to know what the weather was like on a particular day or what I ate, just let me know!

    I actually keep all my wall calendars and pocket diaries, year on year.

    It can be useful for checking where you went and when, sometimes. Even a few years later.....especially holidays and visits, and hospital appointments, etc.

    I used to use my amazing memory, it never failed.....emphasis on the used to. Now I get frustrated and vow to note things down but haven't quite got into the habit as yet.

    Off to Stratford today for some retail therapy, well Joe will probably be doing the retail therapy, I'm just along for the ride.
    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.

    London or -on-Avon? :D

    I guess London. The -on-Avon one isn't renowned for its shopping experience, unless you want miniature busts of Will S. and a compendium of his plays! :D

    So, when someone is murdered and the police ask you your whereabouts two Thursdays ago at lunchtime, you'll be the only person able to answer their questions promptly and accurately. They'll be highly suspicious.
    No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?

    Oh I don't know. People always seem to know exactly where they were and what they were doing in TV police dramas!

    All the dramas at the moment seem to revolve around missing people and undiscovered bodies. Totally depressing.

    I'm currently watching re-runs of Vera, (which I never watched first time round!), Lewis, and Morse.

    Haven't watched any of the recent dramas on TV. Just didn't fancy them, somehow.
    "Keeping Faith" got very good reviews, but I just couldn't face it.

    I seem to be getting a lot more sensitive as I get older.

    Or maybe the programmes are getting more punchy?

    Watching "keeping faith". That was my accent growing up, but less pronounced as my parents insisted on sending me to elocution lessons.

    When I grew up, everyone we knew had elocution lessons, now they don't seem to exist.
