Gggrrr neighbour from downstairs knocking on our door to complain about our bed squeaking :eek: Not in that way either, our bed is old and poo. My mister has apologised but unless she's gonna buy us a new bed, what can we do? She's said she's going to involve the council; good for her she can stick it up her bum :mad::mad::mad:



Getting good at this piccy thing

Would a little oil or wd40 work on the joints?

I'm sure the Council will have more things to worry about!!

:jive just got the sada mocs in the post too:j

Your neighbour sounds delightful

I can't imagine the council taking this very seriously

I think I read somewhere once that hairspray (or was it furniture polish?) works on squeaky things. I might have imagined that so off to google.....:)

Not good news, OH WILL NOT LET me have a dog. :(:(

We still got him, here until Friday. I am enjoying it and so are the kids, but OH not happy bunny, not really spoken to me since we had him. We haven't left him in the house on his own, as he just barks and whines constantly, when on his own, he is still following me to the toilet!!!!

We went for a walk round the shops yesterday, and OH moaned because we both couldn't go in together, and if he held the dog, he just whined until I came out (the dog that is, and the OH moans a lot aswell).

OH is adamant we are never having a dog, so think this is it, was a 2 week trial, while friend abroad and at least I know he is not going to cave in. :(:(:(:(:(

oh no thats not what i was hoping to hear for you.perhaps give it a bit of time and try with a different breed of dog.much as i love the springers we have had they are a handful.the cocker we have now is quieter but does follow you around everywhere.perhaps hes just unsettled being away from home,ours is as daft as a brush but doesnt like being away from home even going to my mums to stay over we were there but he still wouldnt eat as was homesick!stupid dog.:rotfl:

quick question for the elite please, when should you take xmas decorations down by, when we were kids always told that bad luck to leave them up after a certain date social have phoned to tell me my grandchildren are coming over on wednesday:j:j:j:j so i would like to leave them up till then so their pressies can be under the tree, but oh says we dont need any more bad luck x thanks

I was brought up to take the decs down after Little Christmas (Also known as the Epiphany) on 6th Dec (Today!) whilst others start on Boxing (St. Stephen's) Day! It's down to your preference hun.

if its a wooden bed talc works on squeaky floorboards so that might work if puffed into the joints.
sorry but i think your neighbour is just jealous cos nothing is making her bed squeak;)

thanks to whoever posted sains were rtcing the christmas stuff - just nipped down our local - wrapping paper down from £2 to 20p a roll and lego led girls keychain torches down from £5.60 to 80p little bags of dried fruit with choc chips were £1.65 but now 15p (great for baking) everything is going through the tills far cheaper than the sels are showing it at.:T

I thought i'd missed out on the clintons 3 for £1 on xmas cards because today was the first chance i had to go

Turns out i was wrong. They had tonnes!!! I am now stocked up on jndividual xmas cards for the next few years. Got loads of different designs for each relative. I even bought cards for people to give me and the wife :rotfl:

I haven't found out yet about the hairspray/polish thing, however, I have found this Handy Hints webpage which is quite interesting

http://www.ecclesia.org/truth/hints.html

My favourites so far:

Outrun Crocodile/Alligator. Run in a zig-zag pattern, and not just in one straight direction. When making left or right turns, the crocodile/alligator has to come to a crawl to move in that direction because of its short legs.

Outrun Bear. Run downhill. Because of its 2 short front legs, a bear has to crawl down a hill. It can run up a hill, or up a tree, but when going down, its center of gravity forces it to go slower.

Gorilla Attack. If a Gorilla runs after you, do not run! Simply do not stare at his eyes, and look at the ground, and humble yourself towards it. He will walk away.
