    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.

    Oh Sue, how super. This person has been doing a really good job haven't they? Its so good to hear that and I am so glad that you are benefitting. :)

    Actually she has been the one who put a lot of pressure on and was not at all understanding of my situation....she had a rocket put up her bottom in the form of an email approx 5 days ago from another source.

    What does my sig look like now, it has always looked normal to me.
    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.

    Winter came back last night. We had an amazing storm in Sydney and loads of trees etc are down.

    We've some friends in the Blue Mountains who had a few inches of snow last night. No power since 11pm (thankfully they have a wood burner).

    Travel chaos this morning although my run in doesn't seem too bad. For others it's a nightmare. All the traffic lights are out along one arterial route into Sydney. Trains are FUBAR'd. I'm gently gliding over the Harbour Bridge without a care on the bus. I really must get back to cycling in.

    Yours and Lydia's look ok to me but Gen's is just one long expletive starred/exclaimation marked out.

    They all looked fine as quotes, which is what I'd expect.

    Lydia and Sue's Sig's are now fine but Gen's and Masomnia's are still !! etc.

  • Everyone's looks fine to me, too.
