    Japanese Maple

    I have a number of Japenese maple trees, which I started off from practically new, they are all in pots, and have been for some years. All my pots have been in the same positions, have treated them all the same, and they have all thrived, except one. The only way I can explain it, is one...

    1st time wallpapering

    Painting a new door.

    If its the doors i think they are, they already come primed, that is, there is a greyish/whitish colour on them. To get them to a really good finish, and even though they are primed (if its the ones I think they are) you must definately undercoat them. Now whether you are going for...

    some good news

    Too true, but they seem to have short memories, at least shannon wasnt left alone in a hotel room before she went missing. :shock: It will be interesting when the real story emerges of why she did go with this man, I think I am more puzzled by how he could have got away with keeping her...

    some good news

    I read things like that in the paper, and saw someone on TV saying practically the same thing, and they all said that cause of her background, her mother having 7 kids etc, that she wouldnt get the same coverage as the other little girl. At the end of the day, she was still a little girl who...
