    I could be cheeky and ask how many trade show complimentary tickets are they allowing you for Tatton but that would be rude :rotfl:

    Not at all :D I have no idea how many tickets we will get. Harrogate were very generous last year with displayer tickets and even passes to park closer to the site. And we only had a dinky garden there. I'm *hoping* to go on one of the later setting up days so I can see the gardens near to set up without the crowds. Whether I get there when it's actually on will depend on what else I've got going on treatment wise and how I'm feeling.
    I'm still stupidly excited about it though :D

    Good morning,
    Thank you CoT for the input regarding our pond. I managed to get an mse :money: fix in the end. We went to the garden centre we originally got the liner from and on the pack it said 15 yr guarantee so asked customer service how we utilised the guarantee. We had to take the whole muddy liner (4x3m) back to the shop with the receipt and they let us walk away with the new one:T.
    So plan for today is to get the old rug out of the garage and line the hole, put new liner in, fill pond (takes a few hours) and let our fishy, named Brian by our 13yo ds, go home.
    Have a great day everyone.

    Good morning.



    It's not quite ... working for me today on any phone :mad:. as it is asking to update but already has the latest version and that caused this :(.

    They have updated the T&Cs to say only one account per device - I am not sure if/how they have implemented this in the app (though I only use one account per device so no issue :A). The current change means no account per app app/device as it is now unusable :D.

    It looks like they have messed up this update big time:eek::eek:
    Good job I have a few;)cans in my stash:j

    Excellent result - I am always going on about keeping receipts.

    What worries me though is where do you keep a receipt pristine for 15 years? When I was emptying an old basket of receipts even after 18 months, kept in the dark they were fading.
    I had to take a car battery with 3 years Gaurantee back to Halfords - the receipt was kept with the manual in the spare tyre weld - the receipt was only just readable as being just within the three years.
    I suppose you could always move house and give the new owner the receipt and tell them that there was still 12 years left in the Gaurantee so to hold onto the receipt carefully :rotfl:
    Even if you do a photo of the receipt, save it to your emails, the cloud, an external hard drive, your photo roll - who knows what devices we will use in 15 years time, if any of those would still be readable ...

    Loose end days are lovely when the calendar says there are no appointments, full of potential - go and do something utterly indulgent, even if its eating a cream cake in the park without having to share it with someone :)

    Nope no Gregg's sorry mhoc. They are very good there and I think if you asked for egg and chips they would oblige. I'm happy to go to the park I'll do whatever everyone wants.

    You have no Greggs!!! It must be very posh - we even found Greggs in Keswick :)
