Preparing for winter IV

Awww Cats are gorgeous creatures, I love them me, poop or no poop. If it wasnt for cats I can honestly say I would be dead by now. I owe them alot.
Never heard of human wee, but I suppose its a scent down I can see the reasoning behind it!



Anyhoo, Just been up to check on dd and thank god I did, she was lying in a soaked pillow. Have turned the heating off so hopefully she'll cool down. Shame I cant get my washing dried now though. It was nearly 25 degrees in her room!

Just wondering if it's me of if some of these prices don't seem to be that good?

It would be such a shame if L / A started putting up their prices with so many more people using them

Afeitar, I love my dehumidifier, it's one of the best things I've bought for this house and certainly keeps the moisture at bay. Just a thought, but have you considered looking in C*met? Since they have a sale on just now you might be able to pick one up for a reasonable price.

That worries me too as our new Aldi's opened yesterday, biggest I have seen and more variety but some items did not seem any cheaper...as long as they keep some goods for those on a limited budget.

Does anyone know the best time to cut back a largeish tree? A neighbour's tree has really overgrown onto our side. I don't want to discuss who should pay for or do it on this thread - just want to know when's the time of year to trim back trees. For instance should you wait until the leaves fall off.

Going to check how much pet supplies we have of worming tablets and flea treatments. To make sure we have enough over the winter.

Need to do a bit of sewing. Not looking forward to it as one of the coats has a very thick material to repair. Wish me luck!!:rotfl:

Once the sap goes down for the winter, so yes, when leaves are off would be fine.
Bought my pet supplies from Animed (website) the other day, really cheap and free postage.

Fancy the draught excluder strip from Lidl for my internal garage door (townhouse) as no one (me included) ever puts the sausage dog one back!

Thanks ragz that's really helpful BTW Wickes sell a garage door draft excluder for about £16, I was looking into getting that. Feedback seems good. :A

not sure how well it will work on an external door, well i suppose yours is semi external, but those draught excluders that are two bits of foam joined with a flat bit of fabric between them that you slide under the door are brilliant, i never have to remember or chew on anyone else to remember to put it back in place, i just leave mine on all year long

here's a link that shows a picture of the one i have, i only paid i think £2 for mine, bet you can find them cheap on ebay or at a poundstretchers http://www.amazon.co.uk/Duo-Double-Sided-Draught-Excluder/dp/B007ET7AR6

I think for the quality the prices are fine. You tend to buy once, whereas buying cheap youre buying every year.
