    I wish I could stand on my head still. Wht I really wish I could do, and never have been able to, is walk on my hands, and do it really well. It would be a useful skill to combine with the wearing of vertiginous heels.:o

    Aah, but can you wear vertiginous heels? That is a skill in itself.

    Very hard to do - men have no idea.

    wear them yes...walk int them....less so nowadays. Five inches is about the highest I'll risk and only for an evening/lunch, not all day by any means (I never go out ithout emergency flats, and chnge shoes as needed). Long flights of stairs are nightmares, as I find stairs hard in flats:o. I'm also not adverse to slipping shoes off and putting feet on a cold pavement/floor to reduce swelling etc.

    Think 2 inch heels are my limit nowadays, not helped by tripping up a step at a dinner dance about 5 years ago and fracturing my foot!

    I hadn't even had a drink by that point either which made it worse.....
    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.

    I take sie six shoes, less impressive than it ould be if I were a size four. :) Also, though its not a problem ATM, I have been known to use my walking stick or chair in order to wear the shoes I want (a couple of years ago now though). Really high shoes are really only designed to sit/lie down in for all bu the very young and lithe and there is no shame in that. :)

    Yep, if you stand on highest tiptoes and measure to the floor, firly obviously it would be loer than if big foot like me did . I have the biggest feet of any woman in my family and they put on half a size when I put on weight :eek:. :( But I wear the best shoes :)

    I have a family member EA and he as posted a profit for the last 7 months. Last year was very difficult but things have picked up for him. He says lack of supply is a problem at the moment, quiet the opposite of last year.

    As for why come on here, I like to have a debate and a bit of a joust on being right or wrong. I think in general I am a good decision maker, this forum helps me enforce that view or proves me wrong.

    i have a uncle who is a bus driver and he says he is very busy on his bus but the last 7 months was a bit hard for him..he is polish if it helps..
    It is nice to see the value of your house going up'' Why ?
    Unless you are planning to sell up and not live anywhere, I can;t see the advantage.
    If you are planning to upsize the new house will cost more.
    If you are planning to downsize your new house will cost more than it should
    If you are trying to buy your first house its almost impossible.

    Not really, but if the OP was asking why less polish bus driver were posting perhaps it would be :);)
