My car is 12 years old & approaching 100k mileage. My last car was owned from new & when it got to 110k mileage things repeatedly needed repairing. I'm hoping to just avoid that stage. Plus engage with a minor vanity project...:o... current car is not one I'd have chosen, but a family member offered a ridiculous bargain.
The spare is a new tyre. The others have decent enough tread, so I suppose I'm wondering if I can manage 3-6 months (how long I suspect it'll take me to decide on my next car & make the purchase) without a spare, or not?
Well, I went nearly 6 years without realising I had a spare tyre hidden under my boot! I honestly thought that my el cheapo car would have had the spare taken out years ago......
Bad I know but my mind was elsewhere and a spare tyre was the last thing on my mind.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.

Congratulations NDG (and Mr NDG of course) xxxWe made it!

Hence why I've been a bit quiet the last few weeks, I'm suffering the absolute exhaustion of early pregnancy, and increasing nausea, too. I went to bed very early tonight, but then woke up feeling very queasy and came upstairs to scoff carrots.
PN and LIR therefore both met 3 of us together for the first time - Isaac, Poppy-seed and me. Although, at the time, I didn't know there was a third person accompanying me (-:
We've not yet told Isaac, who thinks I'm either ill or working too hard, because I keep yawning all evening. I've told him I've got a cold (for the moment).
My parents reacted in their predictable ways, from my mother's "darling! How wonderful!" to my Dad's, "Right, NDG, you need to look after yourself, get lots of sleep, early nights, eat properly...."
Congratulations!
