    Her reponse to that is to suggest playing with him on the trampoline. :eek:

    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.

    I wish you could hear the 9-year-old-girl giggles that that post has just elicited.

    I hope Kiwi's not a hamster or similar, or the trampoline episode might end squashily!

    He's a dog. The idea that I would need to ask whether a hamster was still small enough to pick up is an intriguing one. :eek:

    Capybara. I would love a pair of them bouncing around the lawn, like modern age lawn ponies. I think they would be brilliant.

    Found one!

    Only, does this smaller one in the same range look wider?

    If you go back to the main bath page and look at these near to each other I think so!


    I have only bought a bath once before.

    You're one ahead of me then. I come from the 60s/70s generation where what you've got is what you use. My parents had a coloured suite when they bought nearly 20 years ago... I think it was done in the 70s (along with the kitchen) ... and both were still in situ when the house was sold last year :) If they'd lived another 20 years they'd have changed neither.

    You can tell that I basically move into a house and keep it the way it is (TM) because when I saw the price of that bath I thought there would a week of maidservants and donkey's milk thrown in at that price.

    We have a rectangle bath and it is not comfortable. I haven't worked out why, I think it is not quite long enough and the back doesn't slope enough. It also takes ages to fill. Could do with being narrower and longer with more angled sides.
