If I don't get him this week, I'll try that. Brill idea. Thing is, they shun new things so it may not work. Today I managed to find a guy to come next Friday to put a cover over the kitchen sink drain as....I can't get under the heat pump unit myself due to my cranky bones.. ..so that will be...

Who? Is he as peed off as me? Bet I could beat him in that game! I've been chasing the blighter all round the garden today. Mowed every bit of grass, He's presently holed up in the coal bunker area. I'm too exhausted to pull 15 ×25kg bags of coal out to find he's zipped out between my feet...

I have a graveyard of 4 tablets. I give up! They take days to recharge, only last a few hours, and then die on me . and I'm totaly fed up with it all. I rarely even have a phone on me when I'm out, unless I'm leaving town to go to hospital or shopping. I realy only go online to watch u tube or...

Thanks that's very helpful. I might just go to tesco next time I'm in town. Is that a real old dial up phone? Cool! Wish I could find one of those. Been looking for one for years. I love retro stuff.

Thanks... Are you not a real person ? :) I know what you mean. :) I just want to get the terminology right as I, being an absolute luddite, can easily end up with some tech savvy person taking advantage, and making a few more bucks than is needed if I'm not careful. I had this once at a...

Don't have anything like that near me less than 2 bus rides away! Nearly 2 hrs travel time each way. Is a dumb phone the same as sim free?

The old phone I had before I went digital, I'd love to get it working again.

I'm looking for a recommendation for a dead cheap dumb phone. Just need txt phone calls and photos. I am confused by technology terms. Sim only, what's that? Most I've looked at say that. I've only ever had just a sim with all my phones . Surely that's all you need? Can anyone recommend a cheap...

Well, the burrow is gone. Now the blighter is running about in broad daylight, refusing to leave, and trying to hide my bait boxes and traps. Last night he sprung the best snap, and ate the peanut butter, and dragged the snap into the coal storage area. I had a job to get it out this morning. He...

Realy? How so? Mine, as I said costs pennies to run, efficiently warms my bathroom, and dries damp towels. It's basically a radiator. If I had one of the heat pump ones in there, it would be big, bulky and I would have damp towels. It's a tiny room, a small bath and a sink wide. Take out 8...

Well, I'm more concerned about underfloor heating and heated towel rail ban. How does that even make sense? Can you think of anything more stupid? They want us on heat pumps and all electric heating, and then try to ban heated towel rails which cost pennies to run.(I know as I have one, which...

Many years ago, (1980s) I used to help a lady called Sylvia rescue ponies from the dartmoor pony sales. Most of them used to go for for meat. Many were healthy animals, and we used to break them in, and find homes either as riding ponies or companions to other horses. They realy don't need to...

It's back door ID for adults Dressed up as protecting children... surely, education in school and parental control and vigilance, plus your child feeling safe enough to trust you to deal with things that seem off is the answer. We are being legislated out of existence. Adults cannot be...

Me neither! I need it for rat control of course.

What about the talk of banning dogs? Is that our breaking point?

That's already an arrestable offence if you throw at plod. 2 yrs I think. Not joking.

I'm just waiting for them to go for my knitting needles..nasty sharp pointy bits of metal. Could cause a nasty eye injury if the pointy end went into someone's eye. As for using them in public, say sat at a cafe table, park bench, or on a bus , it could get me arrested, and time in clink...

Got my gardener coming Thursday. Was going to dig this up and make it a wildflower garden. It's the other side of the wall, just outside my back door, and next to the back gate. I'll finish the cutting tomorrow if blisters allow, and see if I can find any more holes. Then I'll try your bleach...

Found a new entry exit point in use. I blocked these up with chicken wire last spring, as I knew the critters were using them. They must be getting into the pipe from elsewhere. Dammed if I know where. Also discovered a rat hole next to the fence. Obviously in use. I had let the grass grow in...

I use numark burn gel 60ml. It says its professional emergency gel for burns. Got it at my local independent chemist. For the soothing gel, Aloe Vera is the bees knees for most burns including sun burn. I keep an aloe Vera plant on the kitchen windowsill for instant access , but aloe in a tube...
