    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.

    Yes. She's been very stressed over the exams. Not sleeping, spending hours studying, so not looking forward to next school year..

    Thanks.

    lady gave us a tip which I am sure you MSE horsewomen know...to use lemon fairy liquid to get the white bits really white. Tried it today. Much better than chalk.
