And he forgets to turn dial on toaster back to 'mild' so mine is burnt too.

And then you have to scrap it upside down (the toast) over sink or the burnt will just fall back in the gaps :p:p

I think its terrible how people have been left without gas all this time, it as you know quite local to me so on our news:(

Yes of course local to you I forgot. The villagers seen to have got a system going and checking on the old twice a day. Someone put up a fake post on fb saying that the builders would be picking up the tab for food but they denied this. Not to bring heater round is shocking. They are ok with fire but many families don't have an open fire nowadays. For them getting to food vans is hard as they no longer drive but neighbours are so good and sil has taken a few things round to go in microwave. It is worrying as mil has copd and the cold spell could now put her in bed for the whole winter. Yes she was on news last week. Gas went off while her Xmas cakes were in the oven:eek:

We get consulted on new housing estates etc and even when its been pointed out that its a flood plain/will flood etc Councils and companies can still go ahead and build on these sites. Its very annoying. One site I drove past had flooded before they had even finished building the houses

You would think adequate flood prevention would be needed to get through planning:eek:

I have been looking for flood proof doors, but they really do not exist. I cannot believe it, as they would make a fortune. Similar technology to a walk in bath.... reinforced bars to cope with the pressure.

Anyone want to set up business with me.... we could make a killing!

Depends on how much water you expect to get pressing on your doors. My boys doors would hold alot back but once water is up to the letter box you are !!!!!!ed:eek:

We are not having a letter box, well we are having a box for letters on the gate. We really have thought of everything.... but we just cannot get the doors that we just imagined exists.

Do you know what doors you would like then?
I for some reason imaging grey doors with a slight art Dec feel but double doors so you can get furniture in and out and I imagine a large hallway and double doors look fab then.
I am hoping for bifolding doors on lounge next year so I can have shutters. I can't make myself order any window coverings as I want my bifolds.

Dyson ordered from A using the £20 voucher for registering. No it's not that only works over £299.
I suppose it is a good price at 189 just would have been better with 20 off. I wonder if John Lewis would price match as I have some vouchers. It's £189 in currys so they should do.
Leave until tomorrow now.

Mr TS is probably a 4, he has a weird way of doing his toast under the grill, he manages not to quite burn it but it is as hard as a brick it could break your teeth. :eek:
