    When is a trench fill foundation not a trench fill foundation?

    Thanks. The last time I did one I asked the inspector if he'd like to see it. Nah I'm sure it's fine, was the reply.

    Connecting to existing drains and s106 application.

    I thought that. But when the water company put it in their email I thought I was missing something. That's good news thanks. So does everyone these days use the plastic soakaway things or is hardcore with no fines still acceptable?

    Is this breakdown cover too good to be true?

    As if happens there's something in the small print saying that may ask to see your service record if you make a claim. Any idea what they would want to see?

    Emergency assist. But £22 add on to cover repairs up to £500. I think you can make 2 claims a year. I knew someone who paid about£40 a month for that. There's good to be a catch hasn't there?

    knocking sound from throttle

    Hello. The car started making some dodgy noises today which can best be described as knocking but its hard to say as my 7 year old wouldnt ****ing shut up :) when I was trying to listen to it.

    Buying car fuses.

    Hello, The lighter/socket seems to have blown a fuse. So I googled them and bought 120 from B & Q for £5 inc delivery. Theyve arrived but the 20v ones are way smaller than mine. Anyone know how come? Are these for newer cars? Cheers.

    Any way of wallpapering onto wood and one day stripping it again?

    Thanks everyone. I was going to paper up to the back edge of the sides. If I couldn't get a neat edge I might wrap it a little round the back. Not chosen a paper yet. Just wondering if its a good idea.
