    The poshest shower I've been into had a radio and was bluetooth enabled.
    Or maybe I should say the saddest shower I've been into because why one needs to be 'connected' even at shower time is beyond me.

    Our shower stopped working ages ago, we now use one of those push on the taps shower head thingies.....does the job, sort of.

    We have always been a bath family anyway, the only person who really used the shower on a regular basis was ex husband, I did in the hot weather to give me a quick cool down shower with arctic cold temp, something I can still do with the handheld shower head on the tap thingy.

    Showers used to completely freak the younger two out and they are still not keen now.
    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.

    Not a lot. Just busy, running around even more than normal. I've just finished an excel sheet at work and have loads more things pending. Need to look some things up still.

    It's ok. Will get better soon.

    That is what I keep telling myself.
    However, soon is turning into june...:(
    It's getting harder & harder to keep the government in the manner to which they have become accustomed.

    We once went to Paris and stayed here:

    Trendy showers from memory and also some sort of colour therapy in the bath, which translated to be coloured LEDs shining through the water.

    I wonder if that may be because things are so uncertain nobody really has a clue how they will pan out and each little piece of 'evidence' is far from conclusive so instead opinions become entrenched through the reiteration of the same old debates?

    Or, it's the volume of sockies.

    Just read some massively insightful posts by fc123 on the peacocks thread. Great stuff. Shame it is such a minority now.

    I'm not keen in gadgetry in showers. I like them to be clean lined. Dh stayed in a hotel in Verona with integral seats, all tiled. That's about as fancy as I'm prepared to go i think.

    Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit

    I've found Windows 7 to be a vast improvement over Vista or XP.
    I also find Office 2010 much better, although a little quirky to get used to at first.

    Are you all having a good day?
    I'm having a much better day than yesterday

    Istl, glad you are having a better day.

    Today I was complimented on my septic tank managing prowess by the septic tank emptying guy. I have been complimented on many things, but never on my poo storage technique. I should have showed him the slurry pond and the muck heap in the yard, he might have asked me to marry him, lol.


    Also, big dog seems to be getting through her phantom pregnancy ok. She let dog dog sit next to her today and ate all her breakfast. She'll be spayed in feb hopefully.po

    I agree re Windows 7. Much better. I still have an old laptop that I use just as a backup that runs Windows XP (can't do anything elsewith it as hinge is broken so stuck permanently open). Also my little netbook that's Linux. I like Linux for the lack of hacking but 7 for the ease of use and interface. If only the could merge both together I'd be as happy as anything (before anyone says "that's called Apple" Ican't afford one of those. Sorry for typos, am still on little netbook so can't read what I've typed on tiny screen as well as on a 17" laptop. This didn't seem that small when Imoved from a 15", but now it seems minute.

    Crikey! That's not a shower, its a transportation device from the new Star Wars movie.
