    In other news I tried to put up a canvas of my boy.
    Thought would sellotapte the sting on to the back & then bung on picture hook.
    Sadly my best boy then promptly fell to the floor.
    This was echoed last night by the real life best boy who was half on the radiator & half on the sofa~~until he fell off :eek: :eek:

    I'm assuming your best boy is a fur baby? Unless your DS sits on the radiator? :)

    I'm glad you asked because I was wondering why beanielou's DS was sitting on a radiator :doh:

    I can find plenty of cats on radiators. Not so many DS's :D

    Sellotape won't work. A stapler might (ideally they should be corrugate/serrated staples) - staple the string ends to the wood facing upwards, then fold them over the staple and staple them again. A drop of glue on the staples may also help.
