    My Mam (who insists that 36 in a 30 is not 'really' speeding) has just had her 3rd speeding ticket within 2 years. From what she told me, even though she did the course the first one because she has reoffended she gets the 1st set of points along with the next lot. 3 times in the same place!!!!


    I really would check on the Motoring board.

    OMG - that's not good, 6 points on his license ....

    I've not come across the motoring board before, good idea to go and see if there is a certain answer.

    Although I am not going to tell him about 6 points on his license, he will have to work that one out for himself ...

    Thank you Tweets.

    Hope you get better soon. I find the BRAT approach is good when you feel like eating.

    Banana
    Rice - the plainer the better (canned rice pud, drain the cream off)
    Apple
    Toast - dry, no butter.

    Any or all of these will help the problem. Dry toast works wonders.

    I got bananas in and could make dry toast but no rice pudding rarely buy that and no apples . So I got half the stuff :)

    I recommend a blow up bed on floor in old house if he is going to be so picky :rotfl:

    But then Tuesdays would be Mondays and Saturdays would be Sundays ..................
    No, then Tuesdays would become Sundays too :D
