Hi all, I've just finished me hall with ceramic tiles but when my dog comes down the stairs and treads on the tiles her back legs go one way and her front ones the other way. The big question is: can you apply some sort of anti-slip stuff on the tiles?. I can't put a mat down as the stairs are...

Makro's are doing the bosch saw next week from 30th April, for £49,99 +vat so nearly £59, also I saw the spare blades for sale in B&Q. They call it the "All Rounder". Looking at the brochure it looks a handy bit of kit but it's only got a 180W motor so I suppose you have to treat it gently.

Hi all, I have a Glowworm Hideaway 50B boiler and today when the boiler fires up it don't seem to be as fierce as normal, in fact the flames are very subdued. Anyway after a few minutes it all goes out including the pilot. After rebooting it with no trouble the same thing happens but with a...
