Thank you everyone, it's unusual as a cake ingredient, think a little more left field....you're kind of on the right track with carrot (alteast with the colour ) I'm pretty pleased with how it turned out as I thought it might be a disaster, it's very moist and scrummy!

Possibly swede/turnip (different areas call it different things) or parsnip, which i imagine would be very nce in a cake as it has a natural sweetness to it xxx

The nice thing with photography is it never ends....you never reach 'full knowledge' and I'm just scratching the surface.

Its not a DSLR........can't afford what I want (nikon D300) or the bag full of lenses to go with it. Reckon what I actually want
would set me back around **cough cough** £7k so plumped for the £240 fujifilm HS20 bridge camera with 24mm-720mm lens already bolted on. Struggling with it a bit at the moment, but its forcing me to learn more about settings and what they actually do which is not a bad thing I guess.

Thanks for asking.

I am truly inspired!! I too have a fuji, s5200 (Ithink!) bridge camera also. I paid a very cheap £120 for mine! -years ago though! I love the nikon D300 (lenses!) too, but finances will probably never allow it! (hence why I'm on here!) Do you post on the fuji forums? I got loads of tips from there when I got my camera but I haven't visited for about 5 years! (I've boycotted BT so been offline!) They used to be very helpful over there.

Please note, I'm not saying you need help because your pics are amazing, but as you say, you never stop learning!!

Please keep posting your photos, I love 'em!

thats a good point....just what are you supposed to do with stuff brought in by animals? I just put mine in the regular bin because i dont know what i should be doing with it

That's what we have done, well wrapped. Hope that's ok. :eek:

Thanks everyone for all the rat stories, it's actually making me feel a lot better about the whole situation knowing how much more common it is. I guess it's not the sort of thing that would usually make a good conversation.

The mention of decking though is a good point, next door but one had this put in last year and found they had a problem under it, no surprise really as we all live with a wildlife bank along the back of our houses, just seperated by a small lane so very easy for them to make home somewhere a bit more comfortable.

Can i just second what has already been posted - your pictures are amazing - you should be justifiably very proud of yourself, i bought myself a nikon bridge camera last year but have had no where near as much success as you, maybe i should be putting more hours into it xx

Reminds me, squirrels can do terrible damage in lofts. House down the road from us had a fire when the occupants were abroad, whole of the roof was gone next morning we didn't even hear anything to the suprise of all the neighbours. But we have secondary double glazing which is very good at cutting out any noise.

The cause of the fire was officially that the squirrels had chewed through the electical wires. Had had gone unnoticed as they lived in Tenerife for half the year.

When we had squirrels in the loft we had to have pest control put traps up there. They had made a nest and it just about fitted into a black sack when DH went up and cleared it. Same as someone else said though we could hear the traps going off up there and it made me feel sick!! Pest control came every week and took them away for 4 weeks. It was when we'd just moved in the house though and it had been empty for over a year so they'd made themselves right at home:eek: They had started to chew into wiring up there and we were told the same thing, that they start fires chewing through electrical cables.

Thanks to MonkeyMrs01

Had a look in store today and the Disney section was empty. Here's hoping it's not so empty in a few weeks time Mind you I have to be careful where I glitch as I think I'm persona non grata in a local-ish store after DTD yesterday

Talking about rats and Ts, I saw one running around the card aisle in the early hours of the morning when I was on night shift so told the nearest SA, he just said it wasn't his job to sort it out but wouldn't even go to let someone else know. Reciently I've spotted one still running about the same aisles and in the same store!!! Needless to say I tend to only go in there for select items and mostly non-food ones at that

Surprise me - KnaG or Nb'da?

I had a blue bottle problem recently which resulted in 20 kills in a week. Most were dopey and just sat there waiting to take their last breath but I never did find the source. Given the scratching in the ceiling above the living room, I'll hazard a guess that a mouse died up there.

Got some more Glade stuff today and spotted the only Mulled Wine thing that hasn't been reduced. Wondered if my luck would be in and the Freshmatic would scan at a lot less than £14.29. Nope, they really were still looking that price. Found the Thorntons Mint Collection - scanned at £2.99. No glitches or DTDs. All very civilised

I love your pics FK they are stunning!

I do hope you got the camera on a DTD though...:D

Actually no, even with the ood SEL's recently on the same camera in T's it was cheaper in Jessops. It was however paid for in full by a certain Mr Denby............a secret benefactor apparently
