thankyou breezer, I wasnt sure if I should be clipping stuff to make it thicker or just letting it do its stuff. lovely to see that people here are are still on hand to reassure and help out! thanks

I think that in general, it is still not quite the done thing for women to openly discuss their 'bits' in the same way that in general, men do. Emphasis on the generalising part because I think that younger women are far more (thank goodness) open about how they look and what they want. The...

I have had some plants put in to cover a large expense of wooden fencing which is seven feet high. The plants that have been put in are clematis, jasmine, honeysuckle, flamenco, chinese lace and dropmore scarlet. Please could someone advise me of how I should be training these plants to cover...

for the last two years the apples on one of our trees (I dont know what type but eating ones) have had brown marks all over them. These marks come very early on, when the apples are still quite small. I may have even asked on here about it last year, apologies if I did and was given any advice...

also, maybe suggest to your pal that he mention to the health visitor about how his wife has been and is feeling.(push this if needs be, depending on the experience and attitude of health worker) it is difficult if she doesnt recognise or believe there is any problem. (outside of the fact...

when we feel low we need our friends... ok, this is a womans point of view and we do handle things differently but the concept of friend is the same to both sexes. Its easy for me to say but dont beat yourself up about what you should do. Friends are there by default to love, defend and...

apparently train drivers are well paid but I haven't researched this. Pal of pal etc was a police man but left to drive trains, better paid. You could join the cops, reasonable salary. You have already got experience dealing with the public. Might be an idea as you have no family etc to...

I think that it is down to individuals. I have seen a disabled person park beside the curb where it was dropped specifically for wheelchairs and prams etc. When this was pointed out to them, they were very rude and arrogant and said that they could park where they liked due to being disabled...

johnd, not sure what type of fan it is but not very old as it is in a relatively new extension. I always open the window when I use the shower and leave it open for about an hour afterwards. We do switch the light off afterwards, its just me getting grouchy at the loud (seems loud in the...

thankyou Eddie

yes, one looks similar to that, any reason why its so high up on the wall? The other is definately for the shower. So, if I get ladders and switch that one off, the fan wont work but the light still will? (yes I could just try it but it saves me getting ladders out if not) Also, are you...

Im going to go look. Yes I know it makes me sound thick but Im not sure what to look for. On the bedroom wall near to the door into ensuite is the light switch. high up on the wall there is wide switch and another switch. I cant reach these without going up ladders. I think one is for the shower.

The fan in my ensuite is driving me mad! Is it a legal requirement to have it start everytime the light goes on? There is a shower in there aswell as sink and toilet but there is also a reasonably large window too. Can I get it altered to only have the fan on if the shower is on and the...

Been walking with boys and dogs this morning in wooded area of low fell land. It was really bright weather at six thirty but unfortunately turned to heavy rain shower and we had no coats so ended up being a rush back to the car! Anyway, the kids always like to stop along the way on the walk...

am more of a tea drinker but hub likes coffee. I know you shouldnt make coffee with boiling water as it impairs the flavour. Not sure if it applies to instant granules or not but we make it like you too, water last, to slightly cool the water.
