    One of my two cats. Usually she is here telling builders or gardeners how to do their jobs, or off hunting. She Is highly opinionated and has a very loud voice. But she is also a snuggler of extraordinary snugglability, and loves making beds in things.

    I'm delighted that you are not letting the lady postman curl up in your duvet. A cup of tea occasionally, and maybe a tip at Christmas seems quite sufficient. I thought that maybe since privatisation they were becoming more demanding.
    No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?

    You could get a cat, perhaps? It would see off the rats, so an immediate £30 saving there.

    Cats still cost money - to buy, get a bed, toys... food, vets ..... and still need to find somebody to pop round and feed the cat if you're going away.

    I do wish, however, that a neighbour would get one - so it was free and ready/available when I opened my patio doors.... so long as the !!!!er didn't keep trying to get into the house, of course, which the nosey bugg4hs do tend to do.

    No, although they are being less helpful, no parcels left found the back for example, no taking letters with stamps on for you.

    My ipad wants to install ios8, but it needs 6.9 gb free to do that. The whole thing only has 12 gb with 10 gb used up by apps and stuff. What should I do?

    So I'm £70 up over the last six months, without the up front costs/hassle being required either :)

    Then, with a pet, there's always the daily fear that they might find their catch a wonderful present for you .... and bring it in to show you.... Council lady won't do that.

    Wee steps?

    Hurrah ... it's little things that make all the difference :)
    Peeing independently's so satisfying, self-reliant. Independent.
