    Wanted to post more but can't on this phone as keep making mistakes. My other arm is trapped by a beautiful sleeping Welsh lady. Sadly Katherine Jenkins is not on the other one.

    Will reply to JAM re: cats tomorrow - not forgotten you.

    Maybe SM lives in a maisonette? Which for many purposes is often called a flat.

    Ooo - I have never heard of a flat on 2 floors :j:j

    :o

    As far as i know a flat is only on one floor :undecided that may explain why you have never heard of it MFD and motm i agree with you it is indeed called a maisonette .

    On the subject of stairgates we have none :D

    3 - just found the other safety gate that asda had on amazon. It's the metal extending gate which fixes into wall, so definitely not the one you're after. Sorry :(

    Because we have a couple of houses into one, we have two sets of stairs that meet the two sets of landings which are now obviously one, at the top. The fun the girls have *rolleyes*)

    That sounds really great! If I had two sets of stairs, i'd have one for up, and one for down! Or maybe i'd put escalators in. :D


    SM My first boyfriend lived in a maisonette, and he had a door from his bedroom, out onto the landing of the block. Very handy for sneaking girlfriends in and out without his Mum noticing. :p

    And do you intend on getting them?

    I kind of worked on the 'when we need one we will get one' principle, and now I don't think we need them.


    I am staying in a maisonette on my jollies, which are only 24 days away if anyone is interested :cool:
