Measure twice - cut once!

Just don't tell anyone and they'll never know the difference.

I take it you do patchwork? When (if) I get the hang of it I can see everything in the house being patchworked :rotfl:.

All my fishies are dying:( We had an algae bloom and the treatment appears to have done them in. We have very soft water and the treatment warned this may happen. Grr, they were so pretty, lovely gouramis and a BIG red tail shark.

I'd always wanted a fish tank, and we had a fish tank for a couple of years after a neighbour gave us his (which he had never looked after). Despite regularly doing water changes and checking nitrates levels etc we got lots of casualties. Then the heater seemed to pack up so I took the fish to school (they have a large tank) and gave up on the tank completely. Most of the ones we took to school have died too. We had a couple of honey gouramis and a red tail shark too. I don't think I'll bother again :sad:
