    Ah I remember that post baby time! We always talked about a party to celebrate the return of menstruation :D
    We were going to wear Period Costume and drink Bloody Marys :rotfl:

    Lowering the tone? Did somebody call?

    Had a bit of a problem earlier with the car. Drove off and on the first corner there was a noise a bit like a seagull squawking. I slowed down on the next corner and it stopped. Took the next corner and the noise came back but it got higher and more shrill and definitely coming from the passenger front wheel. Also a tiny grinding noise like I was running on the tyre rim :eek: Pulled over and had a look. I'm on low profile tyres and in the cold they seem to need a bit of warming up. Pulled away and it did it again. Pulled over and almost phoned the RAC but as I wasn't a quarter of a mile from home knew I didn't qualify (I don't have Home Start - just the others) Decided to nurse it home but weirdly it was fine! Noise stopped!! Drove it to get my dog and no problems. Put some air in, it was a tiny bit down, but not much. So fingers crossed the cold had maybe just affected the wheel in some way.

    When it's cold, the air in your tyre shrinks, so they will deflate, and if they are under-inflated then they will rub. When your tyres warm up, they should be *above* their nominal pressure, so yours are probably more deflated than you think.

    Measure them in the morning before you use it.

    The mask is obligatory - the rest is up to you.
