    rummer nothing new sadly. Well I am moving jobs, but not a promotion sadly just to a new team. Comes with a very bitter sweet feeling as I will leave a lot of friends.
    I also went in a gardening course day a couple of weeks ago which was great and very inspirational. But I'm now still feeling overwhelmed again at the thought of planning my birders. Argh. Sounds like you're doing well again though.
    I just love catching up on what everyone is up to.

    It rained here too! While welcome, there were days when we've been less messy for it to happen, because it just made our mess messier. :o:o:o

    We're on Broadline here for fleas and critters like that. We don't over-use it, not only because we're tight, but because they don't get a lot of bugs. We check them out pretty regularly, of course.

    I use advocate for fleas, for both cats and dogs and advantix for ticks for dogs.

    They have pill too for extra worms ( all ours being hunters in some form).

    Ours have never known fleas. But ticks have been brought him when they weren't covered, and its not worth risking.

    I use Frontline on hairy cat as he get a lot of ticks here but only use when I see that he's getting them.

    Hope the new team are lovely folks Fay.

    Alfie sounds like you are unpaid kennels. You love it really,but I don't know how you find the time.

    We need a large tank for the hill but I hate the price of them so I've spent a bit of time looking to alternatives - any suggestions kindly received. I thought big plastic barrels or such like.

    Just in - been photoing stuff in the house for listing - it's pouring down outside - well it wouldn't pour inside unless we haven't got all our connections right!

    you could rig them for rainfall with an overflow loop to next one [if you had 2]

    That's exactly what we were talking about today. I phoned somewhere about them but they were not the suppliers -long story.

    What it would be for is to create a header tank on the hill to help pressurise the system. I have a burn that is in good flow, but it's fille with bacteria that is dangerous for humans - been drinking it for 7 years now! But probably a no no. We just fitted a UV treatment thing in the house also filter, but this is to get a head of water to keep up the pressure.
