Hi, A few weeks ago my husband removed the radiator from the wall to do some decorating. Before removal the radiator worked perfectly fine. He then put the radiator back on the wall and it started to leak. A week later, him and his mate (who both know nothing about plumbing grrrr!!) decided they...

Hi, its an old trick but certainly works for my Grandma, she has a 2litre bottle of water on the lawn, or in the spot where the cat is most likely to go, it has worked for my Grandma for a very long time, no cats ever come near her garden.

Hi speaking of the wife of a guy who has just replastered our front room and did an okay job, an excellent job for a first timer, your wife will never let you forget it!!Ever, women are like elephants - they never forget!!!

Well, thankfully, my foxes seem to have gone, they only stayed for a couple of days this year, last year they were in my garden for a couple of months. I've been taking my cat on boxing lessons so maybe that worked...

Get a brown paper bag, place it over the wax and then lightly iron, hopefully, what should happen is that the wax will melt and the brown paper will absorb it. I have tried this on carpet and it worked amazingly well, good luck!

Buy lots of cheap blank CD's and use them

Other halves tend to think that partners are going mad, I'm afraid it seems to like your a lost cause!! But you could come for a consultation but I do charge, and even a uniform could be arranged - for you that is.

One has to do what one can! Mother-in-laws are hard to break down, especially when there son is so 'precious'. I'm sure she wouldn't think that is she could see the mess he is making of plastering our front room! :twisted:

Thanks guys, I will pass these onto the mother in law and score some brownie points!! :lol:

Hi all, we had a damp proof course done in our front room a few weeks ago and, to cut a very long story short, we had two plasterers let us down so my husband has decided to embark on this job himself. This is of course much to my disgust!! Any tips?

Does anybody know where I can steal a pressure washer from? Sorry to disappoint you Scoby, but I'm training in Psychiatry and we don't do the uniform thing :(

I like my house too much to consider swapping but I was thinking that I could put my husband up for auction on eBay - what do you think?

I was painting my kitchen cupbords yesterday outside and have, much to my husbands disgust, spilt paint on the patio, and a fair bit too. I tried to get it off with white spirits but without any luck. Any ideas??

This thread is pretty self explanatory. I have a fox in my garden that likes to sunbathe and eats the raspberries and strawberries I am attempting to grow. grrrrr. My garden backs out onto the local woods where the foxes live. I have tried fencing up the gap but they keep coming back. How can I...

Hi all, does anybody know of any decent plant suppliers that will supply to the Manchester/Cheshire area. I've tried Gardening Direct and just ordered a Bakker catalogue but my mother in law is looking for a supplier of Camelia (hope I have spelt that right!!).
