    KC...over the last few days I have amassed a few tradesman who are Trading Standards registered.....if you need someone to sort out a new door (you buy it, they fit it).for a reasonable price and who won;t do a bad job...(because they are TSA registered)......please let me know.

    Fitting a new front door so the locks work properly is not as easy as it sounds....I am rapidly aproaching fitting number 3....:rotfl::rotfl: ...(following dodget and bodgets escapades.).and it looks like the only way forwards now is a new front door and new locks :eek:)

    As our first "Local Exploration" (idoors owing to weather) I'm thinking possibly visit to National Cat protection centre (or perhaps if you don;t fancy....an alternative venue coud be the local LLama/alpaca centre..).......as and when you feel up to it?

    Hi KC

    Wow that sounds amazing, I remember going for a walk on holiday in Spain, and there were lots of people living on small farms etc. with alpaca's - they just look so amazing.

    Favouritism Pippi?! Never :D

    We've got a llama/alpaca place up the road too :D Great fun :D (although last time we went it was p*ssing down and they were all looking very soggy and forlorn, apparently their coats don't have lanolin in, so don't keep the water out - bit of a design fault! :rotfl:)

    Reminds me though - I need to go on a local adventure soon! :j :j

    That would be brilliant - my builder that did the loo, who I do trust, is working north of London for the next few months.

    I suspected it might not be :rotfl:

    Either! Both, eventually! I have one little thing each weekend that I'm committed to for the next few weekends, and I can only do one thing each weekend :( but I'll phone you ....:kisses3:

    Wonderful, isn't it - both over there and here, they look so cute in the fields - there's another one on my bus route to Waitrose, and they're adorable.

    Yay to pancakes too! Tho I do think I need to tweak the mix of gf flours. The email - actually, I don't get the email anymore - or possibly it hides in my spam box - I look for the link on the main page - and I've seen that appear on Tuesday night - if there's something you're waiting for, like an airlines sale, it might be worth checking that link then ....

    Of course, the main man and me are like that :kisses2:

    Hope you get the door sorted with the insurance people. Nothing worse than a door that doesnt fit when there's a gale blowing. Yum pancakes think I might do some for the kids when they get home, we have the xmas school play tonight (delayed of course because of the nasty pre xmas weather)
