    Very good advice - when things go wrong it will cost you a fortune if you have not repaired this x

    The stop taps are all ok now -DH replaced the faulty one under the sink and both now work fine. The ones on the dish washer and washing machine are also ok. We can easily shut down the mains feed on the meter box outside - that gets used when we go on holiday during the winter in case of bursts.

    Morning all

    A quick question. I want to get some of those freezer bags that you can use for freezing soup and sauces - the ones that stand up by themselves on the worksurface so you can fill them easily which seal nicely and are thick enough to wash out and reuse.

    Please does anyone have suggestions where I can get these from? I think Lakeland do them but quite expensive but maybe its better to go for quality bags that last better ?

    Do you use the b&m app while in store? It's fab some stuff is cheaper than the shelf price. Lots of garden stuff was reduced to £1, someone got wooden table & chair for £5.

    We got a quote to have a proper roof on our conservatory, £10,000 :rotfl::rotfl: more than the conservatory cost in the first place.

    Thanks!
    no i dont, how does that work, do you just show them or reserve it or what?

    yeah thats what it cost a friend, ive asked for three diff prices, a straight replacement, tilted replacement slope and a massive georgian titled so will see what they come up with. i need a loft extension more. trouble is my pot is limited to what i have. I went part time last Sept and dropped management point so as the only wage it was a massive hit, but i have M.E. and full time teaching was not helpful. I remortgaged to fix it for 5 years but cant do that as, well, no money to cover it a month but mortgage is based on full time mgment pay. I best get filling out more surveys lol
