Might have some soon. Small furry ones with big ears and long tails - knitting bedsocks out of aluminium wire wool :lol:

Day 1 - take a third of the money out of your wallet and give it to me Day 2 - take half of the money out of your wallet and give it to me Day 3 - give me your wallet and all of its contents Job done !

I just saved more than £100 by going with these... www.cvd-insurance.co.uk PLUS, it includes breakdown cover which I was previously buying separately.

This was my Plan "A" but my wife thinks there might be a slight flaw with it... http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v287/Dfordave/Plan1.jpg So I have moved on to Plan "B"... http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v287/Dfordave/PlanB.jpg Seriously, before I add plan "B" to the other air bricks...

Good point about rusting - what is this aluminium type wool, and where do you get it ?

Nice idea but it is too late. After being refused planning permission, and then losing the appeal, I was contacted by a company who sells conservatories. When I told them why I couldn't have one they said "we know how to get permission :wink: :wink: :wink: ". And they did :shock: I...

Very helpful man from Pest Control visited us this morning. He is certain we had a MOUSE :evil: Good news though that it wasn't a rat :D Lack of droppings, and the fact that the poison/traps haven't been disturbed for several days makes him think it was just a single field mouse, and...

It's ironic that Prestcott should impose this on Brentwood Borough Council - they are notorious for refusing most sensible planning permission requests. I couldn't get permission to replace an existing dilapidated conservatory with a new one of the same dimensions - because I live on...

The one I fitted last week had a large Phillips screw under the pushbuttons. By pushing one button down I was able to grip the other one and pull it up and off. The other button was then lifted off. Undid the exposed screw and Robert's your......

Perhaps that is what is needed to get arrest numbers up - more farting coppers :lol:

The following is a true story.. My Brother-in-Law was on his way to play golf early one cold morning. Left his car running outside a newsagents whilst he just popped in to buy a paper. Came out just in time to see his car being driven off down the road. He reported it to the police and...

I have to speak as I find, and my experience is very different from yours. Some years ago a car came out of a side road in front of me and I was unable to stop in time to avoid a collision. Whilst we were exchanging details a police car happened to be passing, and stopped. The other driver...

Thinking about it I have experienced the "no loyalty" problem in a different area in my younger days. When I first strarted in IT I stayed with a computer manufacturer for eight years. After about four or five years I discovered that even after good salary increases and promotions the company...

I used to - every year - but I never found a premium that was much lower. Also, the service I have received from this company (claims for two stolen vans, one home burglary and one no-fault accident) was so good I am reluctant to move to a slightly cheaper company and risk getting a poorer...

I don't know if it is because I am getting old and cantankerous, or if this is a genuine grievance. I received a renewal notice for one of my car insurances for a premium of £225.75 - £4 less than last year so I was happy to allow it to renew automatically. However, the next day I received a...

Yeah. My main suspects are here... and . The first one was home to a wasp nest last year - you can still see the powder I used to try to get rid of them. Doesn't seem to be disturbed by anything crwling over it though. I am going to fill these gaps in as soon as the weather allows...

I am keeping it a low profile at the moment. If I let her think we might have rats or mice she will want them removed immediately. On the subject of getting a cat we had four cats here when we first moved in. They caught loads of mice - in the fields - and brought them into the house to meet...

Traps should arrive tomorrow and I will be getting my bait ready. I am thinking of using something different on each to see what "IT" prefers! So far I have Mars Bar, Snicker and peanut butter on my list. Might even put a bit of telephone cable on one seeing as "IT" seems to like chewing it...

Have just ordered some traps online but then found that the web site of my borough council says this... "The destruction of pests in domestic premises which cause a public health risk such as mice, cockroaches, fleas and bed bugs can be carried out by trained pest control officers for a...

I was kind of hoping someone would suggest it is a squirrel. I know they can be viscious things but I think I prefer them to rats :!:
