    And on the road home - rain which turned into sleet :eek:. At one stage I was cursing rather loudly at the sky :mad:.
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    Morning Tilly,

    The weather here was awful last night too. Torrential rain and a right humdinger of a thunderstorm!!

    Hope you've got a good day planned. I'm WFH today which I like very much as I can potter about in between all my Consultant telephone calls. I finally cracked yesterday and piled all of the !!!! from my working area into a massive pile which I'll have to sort today. My filing cabinet is bursting at the seams. I need to find a more efficient method of keeping my paperwork organised!!! This weekend is Month End so it's going to be a busy do!!

    Anyway, hope you're set fair for a good day.

    T
    Mortgage at end 05/2007: £90200

    Weather dreadful here too. It's just been hailing.

    I am off sick from work, though, so don't have to go out in it. :)
    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.     :)
