    I was about to say "Where is everyone?" but then thought, well, I haven't been here either :D

    I'm in one of my "withdrawal" periods... when I go quiet/retreat.

    I was in the Wide Awake Club most of last night - and quite often lately.

    Is that a sign of increasing anxiety? Trying to sell your house is a pretty stressful situation, so I think it's probably completely normal not to sleep well. It might be odder if you slept like a log.
    No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?

    Working and then celebrating my birthday at the caravan mum and dad hired for a couple of days (they have rented for a week, I stayed two days/one night)

    Not the big one this year, that's next year...eek!
    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.

    Around here, you can easily tell who's in and who's out. Lights on all over the house means they're out. House is dark means they're in.

    It often is the case.
    I've got a couple of those random light units that work OK, but they're a bit of a pain because they don't remember the settings, and IIRC, switching the light on and off normally means clicking the switch several times. So they never get used.
    We just leave the one light on that's normally on if we're in.
    If they're going to try to get in, I reckon they'll do just that.

    My big one is this summer :eek:
    Do you know anyone who's bereaved? Point them to https://www.AtaLoss.org which does for bereavement support what MSE does for financial services, providing links to support organisations relevant to the circumstances of the loss & the local area. (Link permitted by forum team)
    Tyre performance in the wet deteriorates rapidly below about 3mm tread - change yours when they get dangerous, not just when they are nearly illegal (1.6mm).
    Oh, and wear your seatbelt. My kids are only alive because they were wearing theirs when somebody else was driving in wet weather with worn tyres.
