Hum, rubber matting is THE way to go if you can on flooring. The ancient old one adored his rubber matting big thick green stuff and so good on bedding and disposal of bedding saved more than initial costs at one winter!
Hope you can solve HMRC issue with tax code change???

At least mouse was outside! Bless Colin

I've put matting down for the last ten years or so. The boys will have matting even though it's going to be cow matting

If you do go for matting on the floor, price up cow matting as its the same stuff and could be cheaper. Put the word equine in the title and then add the ££££.

Thanks for this. I would never have thought of it by myself. Ordered and fitter booked!

for the door I wouldnt worry about expensive matting, just a left over bit of carpet would be sufficient. Maybe ask on freecycle?

There will be enough off cuts for both boys to have [STRIKE]padded[/STRIKE] cells doors:rotfl:

:eek: to the air-head club staff who tried to fry a snickers bar..... everyone knows it is a marsbar you fry :rotfl::rotfl:our local chippy does them battered :cool:

I hope the tax man can swollow your £160 by changing your tax code slightly?

My fat cat also loves "salvanging" stiff and very dead mice/birds/frogs what ever he can get his paws on! I'm sure he feels just as proud swaggering around with his findings then the actual pride from "the kill"

Lovely to see you Mrs H!
I haven't done anything with the tax demand yet. But I will!

I don't think poor Colin is much of a hunter hence the long dead body, I think he was as proud of it as if he had caught it though

You'll be fine I was terrified when Merlin first came here on loan, but over the years I've learned to trust my judgement. I also have a fabulous farrier who would be the first to speak up if he saw anything I'd missed.

It's just the responsibility thing. I've always known instinctively if something's not right. Fairly sure nothings changed.

Please excuse any typos. I'm bored at work and using a tablet rather than a laptop.

The big news is.........a large sum of money has landed in my account from my endowment claim. Absolutely stunned at how quickly it has paid up no quibbling, three weeks!

Well that's the matting and the tax demand sorted, woo-hoo! I'm so pleased for you, as someone else who got shafted with an endowment and measly compensation.

HOORAY for endowment! and pah to stupid upstairs twonk - what an idiot!! i once worked in a youth hostel where someone had tried to cook a bag of frozen peas and carrots by unpending the whole thing into the fryer - before my time fortunately but needless to say a fiasco!

Anyway, just popped in to say i met a cat called Colin tonight and to ask if you therefore live next door to my mum

Was he a tabby and white cat and charging round with a borrowed dead mouse?

What is it with fryers and stupid things to put in them? potentially the peas could have shot round the room like bullets. Imagine going down A&E to say you'd been shot by a pea...

I am a grown up mse-er, it's official I've put some of the endowment money in an ISA and opened a 123 account that pays on positive balances. I used the Spanish bank as that's who I bank with for the ISA as I wanted to get the money in before the end of the ISA year. I have a suspicion you have to jump through money laundering hoops with a new establishment. I will find out when I do the research for an ISA for next year. I'm positively embarrassed about this, I'm not sure I should be here on the debt free boards at all.

However, somewhere along the line I've picked up a stinking cold. I think it means I'm going to call off doing the overtime tonight. After my day off tomorrow I've a week of evenings in front of me and I'd like to see if I could clear the cold off rather than run myself down further.

The bed is stripped and waiting for fresh bedding and I want to get it done before I meet Dad for coffee. In the words of the wonderful Greying 'best get a wiggle on...'
