Aaaaargh lots of new posts. 
I use catching up as a way to avoid doing uni work though...
Spends today:
£4.80 on lunch in SU shop - sandwiches, bottle of coke, and a flapjack. FOUR POUND EIGHTY IN AN SU. Our SU has gone all horrid and corporate, two years ago we had "homemade" sandwiches made by student staff starting from £1, it's awful. Had to buy lunch as nothing from home to take 
shopping coming this evening though. And I didn't even eat my flapjack in the end so will take it to uni another day.
£6 mug for valentine present for DH.
DH bought me flowers yesterday for valentines day on his way home from work. I've nagged him loads of times cos he's never ever bought me flowers. They are a small bunch of beautiful red roses I am made up .
What are you all doing for valentines tomorrow if anything?
Seacow probably DS will get better and regulating his reactions to unpleasant sensory experiences as he gets older, but the anxiety that it produces probably won't change much if my experience is anything to go by I'm afraid. 
When I was little I would get in a state and cry too but now the panic is still there but I'm better able to focus on remedying it (i.e. dash to wash hands!!) and generally don't cry or shout etc. But I still have great difficulty with things like washing up, mixing food with my hands etc even if I wear gloves so DH most of the "dirty" type stuff so I don't have the stress of it thankfully.
Regards London, it's funny as DH and I are going to London but not for about two months. We have a friend who lives there so we are going to stay with him and his partner just for a weekend and go sight-seeing and things. I've only really been to London once or twice and each time was for a day trip or only stayed one night so I've been the theatre there once, and to a gig at the Roundhouse, and also went to the Natural History Museum but that's it. Any suggestions for must sees? I think one place we will go is Battersea Dogs & Cats Home though .
Finally got confirmation from one of my departments that my mitigating circumstances application for a presentation that I missed months ago has been accepted and I won't have to do it at all as they're going to create a predicated mark for it based on an average of a listening exam I will have in a few weeks and the summer term presentation, phewwww. I have also finally had contact with the company contracted by Disabled Students' Allowances about my laptop and they said as it failed the health check they asked Student Finance to approve a new one which they have done! So I will be getting a brand new laptop with my software and date all moved onto it by the company. I don't know if it will be exactly the same laptop but I guess not seeing as that was bought about 4 years ago and things change so fast with technology.
