Come and tell me your dull and unexciting news 27: Calmly through the day

Welcome to all regulars, lurkers, and new contributors! Everyone is welcome to join.

Looks lovely Miss C it's been raining all night here.

DS for the first time in two weeks has slept through the night without crying.

Yay to DS @Lemonsandlemonade

It was torrential here!

Lemons, 🥳🥳🥳 for you re your ds sleeping through.
Miss, great accommodation! Can we all come crash? 😃
Penguins, that's allota limes! 😝 No stomach ache???
Tilly, car companies mived away from including spares a while ago... I have an older car, so no idea how to deal with flats. 🤷‍♀️ It's not illegal, though, otherwise the cars couldn't be sold, imported/exported.

I've had two large pieces of tuxedo cake and I'm watching Season 3 episode 5 of The Morning Show on Apple.

@Mumtobabyhavoc

Well having had to surrender my licence, bastard cancer, I am affected only marginally less than when I was driving

Because then, if I had a flat, it didn't matter because I had my phone and my helpless voice 😁

Tilly, I'd have to call for help, too. 🤷‍♀️
Bizzey, did you make a banana bread?

Miss, I see we have made it to page 20. 😁

Catching up on on the lovely ...and in some cases annoying news ...

Tyres seems be theme at the moment!

I don't drive anymore either , but tyres were the bain of my life as well when I had a car !

Busy , boring , stressful couple of days here 😞.

Mam had to have an OT /adult services assessment for her home .

Bless her it was so hard for her , to have to admit that things were getting difficult for her .

But , it went well and adaptations are being fitted in the next week .

And her beloved bathroom is going to be turned into a wet room.

Though, I think that will be more of a summer job/waiting list.

She can't use the bath at all , so has to strip wash only.
I may have to take her away again for a night or two and go to a hotel with disabled/special bathroom just she can have a nice shower 😅.

They are organising a little walker that she pushes in front to replace her stick , which will make life a lot easier and safer for her and me !! she pulls on my arm when we are out !

Ohh ,.and I am trying to replace my " lost " passport that I renewed less than 2 years ago .

Apparently you can't use the same photo as it has to be a photo less than 6 months old .

So , it is on hold till I submit a new photo.

PP photos for me are normally not a bother ...no one sees them .....but this time I have to get my friend to countersignature the photo .....and I am vain 🤣🤣🤣!!!

Need to go to the photo shop that do them , with a full face of slap on , looking like I am going to a photo shoot night out 🤣🤣...

I will do a face and eye mask tonight and hopefully go tomorrow as torrential rain is not forecasted .

I wear glasses ....so it throws me seeing close up photos of my face where my eyes are visible 🤣🤣.

Hi all, I’ve been in meetings all day, which has really cut into my faffing about on MN time. I’m getting ready for dinner, but wanted to start the next thread before tomorrow, so here it is:

more later.

@bizzey
I looked like a drug addict on my first
Put some slap on, looked like a hooker

Can't win!

No Tilllly. It's a legal requirement that the spare tyre is in roadworthy condition, if you have one. If it was low on tread and I was poor I'd just remove it before the MOT and put it back after. There's no requirement to have a spare tyre though. New cars haven't come with a spare tyre for years now. A cost cutting exercise I expect. Sometimes you can add it as an optional extra. Sometimes there's an emergency wheel/tyre that's smaller than all the other wheels on the car or a bottle of goop to fill a puncture hole, the product contained in an inflatable gas canister. Both just designed to get you going again so you can get to the garage for a replacement tyre.

That's interesting about the spare tyres, @MallardsMoorhensAndLethe. In the US, cars still have to have a spare, but it's almost always the small, limited service type. My understanding is that the car makers switched to save vehicle weight and improve fuel economy.

Thanks @MallardsMoorhensAndLethe

How stupid, but you don't have to have one, but if you do, it's got to be roadworthy.
