I didn't know you could do that! Not sure I'm afraid, but, have you tried looking into the following:
- Singstar is very similar to karaoke, except that you get judged
- Have you looked for one at the bootsale? I have seen a couple over there, one was only £10
- Have you looked on ebay?

Thanks - I didn't even think about ebay. It is for my hen night, so I thought hire might be easiest, but picking up a cheap one from ebay would work as well.

Can anyone recommend someone who's a bit more adept than I at wall tiling? I have half-height tiling to my bathroom and want to get the rest tiled.

Any suggestions?

There's a really goog tiler lives in my road - I haven't used him, but a friend of mine did for her kitchen & says he's really good.
She also said he's not cheap.

If you are interested I don't know his phone no. but so know his address

Hi Guys,

I'm travelling to your part of the world for the Robbie Williams concert 16September :j and wondered if anyone know of any local, cheap, unadvertised places to stay that may still be available?

Thanks

Does anyone know where or if there is a company or anything that brings animals, like a pony for kids to ride, goat for kids to feed etc. to childrens parties kind of like the Miss Doubtfire thing only wont be in the house, we have a large garden that is enclosed.

I know that they hold parties at places like Mead farm but want them to come to the house instead.

Any ideas would be grateful.

Thanks

afraid I don't know about any animal things like that but perhaps you could 'invite' some animals from a sanctuary for a day at your house and offer to donate to them?

quick question- anyone interested in a large antique wood base armchair that needs reupholstering?
