    I love most of them.

    The dragonfly is very pretty and the starfish and the seahorse and the snail and the squirrel and the heart and the skull and my aunt would love the trowel and... Yeah.

    Get one!!

    Yeah - I like the seahorse too, but we're quite far from the sea so I'd draw a line there. The starfish is probably too wide (like the dragonfly) and I keep getting the beginning of this song in my head when I look at it (they mention a chocolate starfish...) so that's a no go.

    Basically, seeing as no-one has yet told me to grow up and not be so silly as to buy a woodpecker door knocker I'll order it tomorrow. If I still love it 15 months on then I guess its a sign :)

    Thanks all :)

    Well I've decided I'm lacking in that department, but now I have a plan to rectify :)

    I am now officially 45....yikes!
    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.

    Happy birthday Sue. :bdaycake:

    45 is OK, IMO. I am not sure I am looking forward to 46, though. It sounds a bit old!

    Silicon? Do you mean silicone? I wasn't aware anyone was making semiconducting ones. ;)
    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.     :)

    No silicon. They are getting smaller by the day due to Moore's Law.
