    There are many forums on this site gonnadoit but this one is the most supportive and often viewed as quite a 'huggy' thread by the others.

    We literally have newcomers come on who are suicidal and cannot see a way out of their situation!

    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.

    Linda,
    How did you manage to get FREE cavity wall insultation? We're going to be doing it to our house and FREE would be better than not free....

    I don't know:confused:
    What should it cover:o

    Err, fire, flood, rape pillage, religious sects, swarms of locusts

    Look on Martin's red insurance thread at the top

    Bradford Council are offering free cavity wall insulation for houses in council tax bands A - C.

    If we want the roof doing as well that'll cost us £140 but the walls are done for nothing.

    Me also but I have to go to work 0630 tomorrow so fingers crossed for the weather.

    Gonnadoitwannadoit - sort of cross between Tolkien and Harry Potter I think. The name just came to me in a flash of inspiration.

    Numpty Monkey - have you checked out comparison sites for your quotes? they are supposed to save you the hassle of trekking round insurance companies. If that's a daft question then just tell me to go and play with the traffic. I won't mind, honest.
