He looked more a broadsheet gentleman.

Just looked it up: 2.4 miles. I let him go in a hedge on an embankment. Do you think he'll still hitch a lift?

Toilet paper!

So the rat turned up in my neighbour's house. In the loo, to be precise. While he was sitting on it. He put some traps out and of course one caught the rat while he was away so I had to deal with it. I feel a bit guilty having moved it away from its family and friends but at least we didn't kill...

So I'm not killing off the rat unless I absolutely have to. It does its stuff and I do mine, as long as our paths don't cross... the dog is useless, bless him. If I'm ever attacked he won't do anything, just watch dispassionately until I'm dead. Then he'll eat me. B&Q weren't much help but I...

Nearly died the other night when a rat the size of a small donkey came into my sitting room via the patio doors. I've been leaving them open as I don't have any other windows in my sitting room, and my dog can go in/out. Obviously it's not something I can continue to do! I have an insect mesh...

Thank you so much, that is really helpful to know.

That calculation makes it a lot easier to find what I'm looking for - thank you. These would be inside and I'm wondering if people actually have hanging baskets inside or if it it's a weird idea.

I hadn't thought about just getting doors. In an ideal world I'd replace the whole lot but I don't have a job and need to eat first and foremost! These photos show the damage. If I can glue it, that'll be easier but I did like the idea of at least changing the colour.

Thanks but they're much bigger than I need.. The B and Q chap said smaller ones didn't exist.

Bump please

I have some hooks to put up a few house plants in hangars (small ones). I've been told I need to get actual brackets like the big ones I have outside for hanging baskets - but when I went into B&Q they looked at me blankly and said they didn't sell anything like that. Will hooks which are...

Thanks for your replies. My friend's dad came round and sorted it - it was something to do with a self-tapper which had knackered the thread? Or something. Certainly not something I could have done by myself! Just as well given that absolutely nobody (Garage Door Co, Wessex Doors, etc.) were...

Sadly Wickes have been unable to help. :(

My up-and-over garage door lock has broken and now I can only open/close the door from inside the garage. I have to turn the lever to the side to release the side locks and then pull the door down from the top. It's one like this: the mechanism seems to have come loose and things sprang out all...

Does this mean I can neither paint nor re-cover the existing doors?

I am! That explains it. Thanks. Buying new doors isn't really an option unfortunately but I can move the toaster & kettle.

I've got some basic white-covered cupboards from B&Q. Some of the covering is starting to split and come off revealing the wood (or whatever it is) underneath. Should I peel all the white covering off, and paint over the wood? Or is a sticky-back plastic a better option? Thank you

Thank you - there's not a screw in it anymore so I figure I will just have to push the sleeve up. Perhaps with a sledgehammer!

Well this helps, as I know what to look for now. It certainly isn't fine net material. Thank you, I will try to source an alternative! ETA Looking at eBay all the bags seem to be made of plasticky stuff. I may just take this to the tip or put it on Freecycle. It's very poor that they don't...
