How big is your knickers drawer Unescorted? 

Hope the diagnosis helps Autumn.
Sounds as though you had a lovely day Lonely!
So cute when the littlies start talking! Dd (16m) is not very typical I think - she talks loads and in short sentences that are clear to anyone (even Alexa has started obeying her occasionally
). I hope you all understand that I’m honestly not boasting when I say that... I do enjoy her progress and find her quite cute company but I also find myself fretting about whether it is ‘normal’ or whether her precocity might turn out to be a sign of ASD. (And as I’ve said before, I hope that doesn’t offend anyone on this thread who has a diagnosis - I just know that life for my DS is so much harder than for an NT child and it affects him a lot, and the rest of the family too. I doubt he will ever live completely independently and that’s a huge worry for me so I’d be really daunted if both DC had ASD). Only time will tell. I try not to think about it too much but every now and then she really surprises me with her speech or something else (like today, she counted backwards from 20 with only one error - she’s heard us do it for DS a number of times but even so!) and I worry anew
.
About £10 top up on fruit and £3 for a coffee with a friend today. Plus £20 Amazon for a child’s Christmas gift that I’ve been allocated by the local woman's Refuge. I had fun choosing that.
Work tomorrow but not going into the office so I’ll be loitering in a cafe for a bit to hide from DD.
Been researching flights to India for our friend’s wedding next year. I have cold feet about leaving the DCs for a whole week and going so far away but he’s DH’s oldest friend and best man so I think we will do it. Probably. Dither dither...
