Silly me, transposed Freesat. I actually came here looking for moth-deterrent advice - obviously the moths have got everywhere :oops: clemenzina

If the biro marks are on a solid surface, you could try "It Works" - they are foam-like blocks which you squeeze out with water, then rub the surface and they remove a lot of dirt and stains. I know of ladies who use them to clean their Louis Vuitton handbags :lol: They are sold by QVC but...

If only - that one's just a set-top box with some natty features. Amazon are now selling the twin-tuner PVR (recorder) version: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Humax-FOXSAT-HDR-Freesat-Digital-Recorder/dp/B001L5YU36/ref=sr_1_sc_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1269545014&sr=1-1-spell I'm a PVR nut but unfortunately...

Your questions have boggled my mind, Cyberbub :shock: I am not at all qualified to answer them. The item under discussion here replaces a ROOM THERMOSTAT controlling the temperature at which central heating switches on/off, it's in 2 parts: one part replaces the main, fixed room thermostat...

He had 10 of them, all new, they're all gone now :( Ah well, your questions will prepare me for the next bargain to come up :) Thank you! clemenzina

I think the next step is to order that Honeywell, do you see any objection to this one, going cheap on eBay...

I appreciate your restraint ;) but I'm not quite closing the door on it yet. I won't do anything hasty. clemenzina

Oh is that all? :? I can see me tacking wires up and thru walls and along ceilings :roll: Sore knuckles and money ;) clemenzina

I can change a plug. I have, in the past, built my own and others' PCs, self taught - but that's not electrical, of course, just jigsaw puzzle construction. (I personally have a rather short fuse but should be OK if left in peace to concentrate.) Oh, so it couldn't be 'portable'? I was...

General.

I've searched the forum but found no helpful answers. Equipment: Potterton Puma 80e combi boiler, installed 10+ years ago Dial thermostat - working OK Problem: The thermostat is situated on a wall in a lounge with a huge south-facing bay window. Hence, when the sun's out, the lounge is...

I'm reading a 'mouse site' and found this: Mice are extremely good climbers (they can run up a vertical brick wall!)... The rule is if you can fit a pencil through a hole then a mouse can get through!... Once you have caught a mouse you will need to take it up to a minimum of 2 miles away to...

OMG!!!!! I've been noticing a strange smell, but it's not there all the time so I wondered if I was imagining it - kinda musty? Could they have set up home inside the bed base? It's a drawer divan. (Where's a screaming smiley when you need one?). Over the last 18 months I've had the...

And after this one's gone, what about prevention? (Still haven't been to sleep!) clemenzina :?

I really appreciate your advice, Breezer, but there's no way I could kill it, I even have to catch wasps in a tumbler and put them outside. House/bottle flies may have to die, but not without many attempts at shooing and much hand-wringing :roll: I'm on the top floor of a 4-storey Victorian...

Sleepless night, am fiddling about on my laptop and watching TV, something caught my eye and it's a MOUSE strolling on the carpet by the side of my bed :shock: I took my eye off it for a second and I think it must have gone under the bed. I've ordered a humane trap from eBay, but can...

I thought I'd add this info in case it should prove helpful to browsers here: My contractors said they didn't need the tape to fit the hob with, they would use silicone. I wasn't happy and wrote to De Dietrich (the manufacturer of the hob) and I received this reply: Under no circumstances...

Or, stay 60cm away, I'm told - and I'm a messy enough cook already :oops: :wink: clemenzina

Thank you. c.
