Thanks everyone for the compliments
Was very relieved that I still loved it when I saw it painted up.
Very excited to think it should be in place by this time next week (not sure if Mr. Woodpecker will have arrived by then, but the door guy said he'd pop back and put it on when it does arrive)We have similar shaped door, but in natural wood. Windows in same place but more trim on the panels. Are you having a peep hole fitted? Very useful because the height of the windows means you can peep at whose outside without them noticing.
That's a really good idea. Don't think it would work as where the door is there isn't really a way to sneak up unseen without crawling! (the stairs are directly behind the door and the doors to the living room and dining room are directly right and left of the front door - and I tend to keep them closed). I'm having a chain put on the door though.0 -
Agree with what everybody else has said about (a) Spirit's continuing physio being more important than money, and (b) Chewy's babies being v cute indeed.
On a more trivial note, I am having trouble finding something to buy online, and wondered if anybody could suggest anything. At present, on my desk at work I have some filing trays like this:
...except that there are 6 of them rather than 3. I actually want 8, but closer together, so that the height of the whole stack of 8 will be ideally a couple of inches lower than the height of the current stack of 6. I need them to be open fronted, not closed drawers, so that I can see easily which ones have stuff in. They do not need to be separate entities that get attached in a removable sort of way - a single object with 8 mini-shelves would do fine if that was the easiest way to do it. They need to take A4, preferably with the opening at the narrow end. So far, I haven't spotted anything that fits all these criteria. Are there any NP out there with something uncongenial to do who need a displacement activity? Because helping me search online for something along these lines would give you a lovely excuse for putting off your unwanted task a little longer.
Do you know anyone who's bereaved? Point them to https://www.AtaLoss.org which does for bereavement support what MSE does for financial services, providing links to support organisations relevant to the circumstances of the loss & the local area. (Link permitted by forum team)
Tyre performance in the wet deteriorates rapidly below about 3mm tread - change yours when they get dangerous, not just when they are nearly illegal (1.6mm).
Oh, and wear your seatbelt. My kids are only alive because they were wearing theirs when somebody else was driving in wet weather with worn tyres.0 -

Clearly none of the above is applicable to me, but how about something like this:http://www.postofficeshop.co.uk/ceppro-gloss/cep/pro-gloss-letter-tray-green-200g/?gclid=CNKI0PihocUCFQzJtAodIT8A3g

Wrong number, but

you can hack these to make them higher, but a stack of three is definitely lower than your ones. The shelves are shallower.
Not entirely online shopping, but perhaps I could deliver you some :-)Everything that is supposed to be in heaven is already here on earth.

Lydia, have you tried taking the posts out? Some of the stacking ones with posts (though not all) have ridges that insert into each other. There's always superglue too I suppose.
If not, I'm sorry but no further ideas on the tray front.Please stay safe in the sun and learn the A-E of melanoma: A = asymmetry, B = irregular borders, C= different colours, D= diameter, larger than 6mm, E = evolving, is your mole changing?

I know I didn't manage to find what you were looking for last time... but if you want to PM me I'd be happy to do a papers search again. I have access to a couple of new sources that I didn't have last time (but which still wouldn't find it,.. the last search that is).Please stay safe in the sun and learn the A-E of melanoma: A = asymmetry, B = irregular borders, C= different colours, D= diameter, larger than 6mm, E = evolving, is your mole changing?
