    When filling out his form, could he have put your address as a second email address, or agreed to this? It does seem strange.
    Please stay safe in the sun and learn the A-E of melanoma: A = asymmetry, B = irregular borders, C= different colours, D= diameter, larger than 6mm, E = evolving, is your mole changing? Most moles are not cancerous, any doubts, please check next time you visit your GP.

    Spirit, brilliant news! Here's hoping you're back behind the wheel soon.

    No. I've checked back and the email is addressed to both of us but the substance goes on to talk about his account.

    It would go to him as its his privacy that has been breached. Also that would entail the advisor owning up to the error, which may not happen.

    I'm amazed organisations dealing with sensitive data don't have systems for checking outgoing emails to multiple recipients. I know that some HIV charity accidentally leaked all their clients email addresses in a mass misadressed email a short while back.

    Congratulations - is your driving now better than it was before?!

    Probably, but I am more cautious as I have lost confidence and my spatial awareness is different on my left side. I used to park without thinking aboutit, in vehicles from our Discovery to my yaris. I now find a rear camera very helpful and parking nose first in a bay is a trial. I think my observation has had a wash and brush up. Oh and i learned how to check stuff and fill up things under the bonnet. Had never previously even looked:o

    I know how precious parents get about their ferals. These are newly arrived ferals .... seems to be a lot of them too.... 3 boys, 12-13 ish, so at their most annoying/destructive/mindless/clueless.

    You need to sort out ground rules.

    I would have a polite word with the parents. Lovely to see new people in the area but you wouldn't want their little darlings to upset the neighbours by denting cars or breaking windows accidentally.

    Great news Spirit!

    Youngest is looking at a university in Scotland....Scotland! How the blooming nora would we get his things up there and back, it's miles away.
    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.
